GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Saw this recently on a VW site I frequent, it was pretty cool and got really creative.Rules:Challenge photo must be taken AFTER the challenge is issued.Once you complete a challenge, you must post a picture with a new, and original challenge, nothing too outlandish, or obscure.While being creative, the new challenge must be generic. This is an international "event", so it needs to be accessible to everyone. Ex: Picture of car in front of monument. NOT picture of car in front of Washington monument.Any car may be used for the sake of keeping the game moving. Vibes and Matrixes are encouraged. This is meant to be somewhat fast paced, so quality of photos isn't really important. However, they must be discernible.Also, it doesn't matter if you have a super slammed, shaved, show car, or a daily beater, post up those pics. No one is/should be judging your car in this thread, just having fun with the challenges.Normally the way this works is you must take the picture AFTER the challenge is issued and it must be of your vehicle. (doesn't have to be your Vibe, but a car you own or are riding in). I'm putting this in bold because this seemed to cause some issues in the other forum, people kept posting old photos of their cars which sort of defeats the purpose of the challenge.So if the first person says "your car with a firetruck", you need to go out and take a picture with your car and a firetruck in the picture. Then you take a picture of your car with something else, and post that up as the example for the next challenge!Again, the picture must be taken after the challenge is issued, not an old picture from last week or 5 years ago that happens to meet the criteria. Nothing illegal and please try to keep it to stuff that anybody can find. Also can't be a specific thing, has to be a general thing. Anybody can find a fire truck, but not Chicago FD truck #45, just a fire truck.Here are some examples of things that make good challenges:Water towerspower generationcreepy old industrial buildingpier (close enough)Urban sprawlfire towerwatering holesice cream makerobservation post/one room school housemile markers Giant gnomescommunity poolswildlifeLodgemuseums lawn artExotic animalsRiver crossingBandstandsCaboosesGraffiticool old diner signAmbulancetool booth photo by attendantheavy equipmentmoose crossing signtopiarywaterfallsI'll start this off with my response today to the VW challenge thread to give everyone an example of how this goes. The challenge was "Your car next to the entrance of a retail store during business hours". I went out, shot a photo, and then took another pic of my car near some other landmark. Like so:retail store, during business hours: Next challenge, your car at a police station: So feel free to take it from there, someone shoot a pic of their car at a Police station and then that person gets to issue the next challenge. Enjoy!

I'll bite, sounds like fun!At the police dept...And my challenge, your car at/near a body of water

sweet! hopefully this takes off and someone else chimes in, if not I'll try to keep it going

I'll keep playing! I have lots of ideas!

I love these things!!!Here's the Vibe at a body of (silty) water!

bumping this and wishing I had some conveniently located scenery to shoot..

Well, it is the picture "challenge" thread so... I didn't want to make it too easy!!!

Nice shot! Nothing around here available for me to keep this going. I'll have to check in on the next one. haha

I took a pic of the vibe backed into the grain elevator yesterday. DWARFED it was, MAJESTIC, it was not.

I think a shot like that would still be very interesting to see, maybe post it in the Photography forum?

Photo of the day thread...

Bumping this.. c'mon GenVibe, I know you've got it in you.. we're at "your car being dwarfed by majestic scenery".. or boobs, I guess Have at it.

It's too bad there really isnt anything majestic in winnipeg

Quote, originally posted by bodhi_tree777 »Bumping this.. c'mon GenVibe, I have plenty more pics and I'm waiting to respond to a challenge!

hmm...i'll take a ride today and see if I can find anything...maybe some massive tornado damage

you guys be the judge.... majestic or not?it's about the best I got around here besides the waterfall.If i need to retake it showing the steeple of the church I will ( i messed my pic up)If this is good, then I have the next challenge ready

I say that's majestic like nobody's business Next challenge is all yours, APM.

I challenge you get a picture of your next to some hevy equipment, like such

Does this count? (could size increase make up for the distance?)

works for me

Yay!! Now we're cookin! Next! Next! EDIT:OOOOO! Page two!

Woo! Alright, next challenge: your car with the rear facing a military vehicle which ISN'T sitting on the ground.(bonus points if you manage to have your car be the only one in the picture. There's a minivan hiding behind my Vibe!)

Hmm...I may swing by the national.guard armory on the way home 8)

I can get one tht is on the ground, in fact, that'd be w cool picture, nose to nose with a tank. But it won't qualify... I'll wait for the next round!

hmmmm....does sitting on a concrete slab count as on the ground?

The slab has to have some sort of elevation. If the slab is higher than the surrounding terrain, that'll do I suppose.

I'll be able to get this one this coming weekend (as long as I don't forget). My wife tells me i'm notorious for forgetting stuff. haha

Things got interesting! To the Legion!!!

Yup! I have taken many many pics and vids since the beginning of this thread!

...

I got a photo of my Vibe with a military vehicle off the ground in the background....unfortunately I forgot to have the back facing it.You guys tell me if it is good enough and I will come up with a new challenge.

I say its GOLDEN, but I guess its up to KITT222

Si perfecto! You're up!

Next challenge is yours, sir

Sorry it took me so long to post this new challenge but I was out in the sun all weekend and I think I got a touch of heat or sun stroke. Been under the weather a few days.Get a picture of your Vibe at a boat launch with some sort of watercraft either being towed or strapped to the roof racks! Good luck!

Quote, originally posted by B14CK_H4WK »well this beats planking. im going to get on the vibe challenge bandwagon!I had never heard of this and now I can't stop looking at the photos!! Lol!!Hmm... Will be putting many camping things on the roof midweek, will photo if nobody beats me to it!

I own no watercraft. So this challenge is someone elses!

i do but apparently theres no hitch for to 10 GT that doesnt involve cutting the bumper

Just bumping this thread since the weekend is coming up. Get a photo of your Vibe at a boat launch/marina with some sort of watercraft attached to it!

Weekend is done, was anyone able to meet the challenge???

Quote, originally posted by Beer Belly »Weekend is done, was anyone able to meet the challenge???It's a tough one.. the only way I could pull it off would be to take an inner tube (which is technically a water craft), inflate it and put it on my roof.. but that's kinda lame. Anyone else?
