I finally got it tonight!! Ordered July 1, 2002, so it took a little over 8 weeks. Here's a rather low res of it below. I already have some aluminum wheels to replace the steel ones. Hope to get those on before the weekend. Gotta go play!!See Ya,Carl[Modified by cohocarl, 11:05 PM 8/27/2002]

Carl, thats a nice looking car. About 3:15 today, did you drive into Bay City? I seen a shadow base vibe on Euclid Ave. today. I knew that you was getting yours today and that was the first shadow that I seen in the city. Enjoy your ride.

Nope, wasn't me. I picked it up at Mcardles in Midland, but only drove it home here in Auburn, then around the block a couple times. I even let the wife take it for a spin. I'll call Discount tire tomorrow to see if they can fit me in. I picked up some inexpensive 5 spoke "X-Wheel" 16 in to replace the stock steel & hubcaps. I'll store those up in the barn till it's time to sell. I think it will look fine. Actually, I think the stock steel wheels & hubcaps look pretty good too.Rasermon- you get a 4 day weekend coming up? I'm sure we will be heading over to B.C. sometime this weekend.See ya,Carl

Should be back home Sat. nite. Maybe we can meet some place on Sunday. I'm looking forward for my first road trip in my vibe, i'll have to keep a log on my gas mileage.

I like the looks of 17 and 18 inch wheels on the Vibe alot better, but for now this will work.See Ya,Carl[Modified by cohocarl, 11:07 PM 8/28/2002]
