Poor Vibe... and cop...

Indiana: Home of the Homicidal Vibe drivers. Makes ya real proud to be a Hoosier lol.

Another Vibe bites the dust.... I feel bad for the guy and his family.

The man definitely needs help as he was intentionally trying to harm himself and others. Some sort of mental disorder, that is for sure.

Stress, depression, murder-suicides, suicides, and other mental disorders such as bi-polar not being treated properly.

Gees Louise, didn't this guy love his Vibe? I'd grab the S10 if I was going to ram something. All kidding aside, I wonder how the passenger compartment held up to this kind of crash. It doesn't look like it crumbled, as they top wasn't cut off to extricate the guy.Anybody been in a front end collision? Did it convince you that the Vibe is a safe vehicle?

There is another thread with a front end collision where it looked like it held up really good. It was an 09 though.
