GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I'm finally back from vacation! It feels like I've been gone forever! Saw lots of Vibes while I was away. Left mine with my brother so he was driving it all around town while I was gone. Have I missed any exciting Vibe news?

Welcome back Sputnik! Hope you had a good time. Not too much news to report. Now you just have to catch up on all the forums.

Welcome back. Did you go anyplace interesting on your vacation? After this friday I'm off for 9 days, but not going any place just working on the backyard installing a swimming pool.

I have 184 unread messages in my inbox... and that doesn't include my work email! But I'm not back to work until Monday so it can wait I suppose.

I went to Point Pelee National Park, Rondeau Provincial Park, Chatham, and Toronto. We were bird watching at the parks, and staying in Chatham overnight. Then went to Toronto for the long weekend and went up the CN tower, to the island etc etc. I will have some photos sometime this week on my website. They're still on the digicam in my suitcase.

You probably haven't heard about the new forum fee. 50 dollars. Just send me a check. Thanks.

Well--------WELCOME BACK!!! Hope you had a real relaxing Vac. As for latest news--See the thread on the Michigan Meet on June 28th. All is welcome--even our Canadian friends and neighbors. Your right--Leave the work related e mails alone until Monday because you are still on vacation.I'll bet you missed your cats. Anyway--Welcome Home!! James Stewart (Vibe)

Glad to have you back Sputnik!

I guess my brother's use of my Vibe was not without incident. He filled up our gas tank for us and when he did a piece of the door to the gas lid broke off. Now getting gas is a two person job. Someone has to hold up the gas release lever while someone else pries open the door with their fingers. Any other way and it won't open.

Sounds like the spring popped off. Just pick one up from teh dealer. Someone else here has a problem with his gas door spring popping off.

Thanks I was wondering who it was but hadn't done a search yet! I posted in that forum on how to put the piece back in.

Oh yes I have to do that today or tomorrow along with planting my flowers, going to the gym and seeing the Matrix Reloaded. I need another week of vacation to get all this stuff done!

Ooo and I'm going to colour my hair too! I'm going "medium blonde."

No, more like light to medium brown with the odd blond highlight (I had my hair highlighted a year ago).

Okay here are some photos. This one is of downtown Toronto from the CN Tower. Toronto Islands from CN Tower: View of CN Tower from hotel room: Toronto skyline from the Toronto Islands: Point Pelee:

Great shots, Sputnik! But for the height/width ratio, they look like post cards! (they aren't, are they? )BTW, a little known fact: The tip of Point Pelee is actually south of the the northern boundary of California!

Their original size was 1280 x 960 and I cropped them to 500 x 375. quote:BTW, a little known fact: The tip of Point Pelee is actually south of the the northern boundary of California!I actually knew this. Southern most mainland point in Canada.

Thank you.

YOU-Are a very good photographer--Really looks professional. James

Oh yeah - the BOM building, right?

Nah I wouldn't say that. I just like making things look... nice, I guess. A good Digicam helps too. LOL

My brother has taken some awesome photos with his digicam. Of course his cost more than mine and he can do more things with it. But still very very good photos.

mmmm vacation....forgot what that was all about!
