GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

My vibe is toast https://imgur.com/gallery/B2vSX

Thank you genvibe boys and girls for 4 years of community help and support. Ya'll taught my a ton about my first car. Lucky to have walked away with barely a scratch. Calling the wreckers tomorrow and any vancouver BC ppl r welcome too.

Oh, no! That's a sad picture! I am glad you are ok. What happened? It looks like it tried to wrap around a pole.

Thats exactly what happened. Spun out on an on ramp and smashed into a street light post.

Thanks to advice on this boars I was able to accomplish the following things that I otherwise wouldnt be able to do. For that I'm eternally grateful.
1. Swap out front speakers
2. Engage AC compressor when all the refrigerant leaked out, with just a paperclip
3. Install a trailer hitch
4. Install trailer brakes wiring hardness
5. Swap out a headlamp bulb
6. Change own oil and tranny fluid , tho i still went to a mechanic coz disposal of old oil and jack ...
7. Find correct tranny cooler part number

Probbly a few more that Im leaving out. Ya'll who are and have passed through here are great, and the vibe is still a fantastic car.

Glad you're okay!

Goes to show how stout these cars are, a hit like that in an early 90's, or older, car would have done major damage to the driver.

Ouch. Hate to see photos like this Time to look for another Vibe to replace this one!

Yep already looking... compact cars that are rated for towing are not so easy to find...

Man, that sucks ! You weren't seriously injured though, which is most important. Will you be getting another Vibe?
