Was that pic taken recently? You guys still have snow up there in Michigian? Wow. I would definitely not reccomend doing that with the Vibe.If you were actually curious about the rating of the Vibe's rack, I think it is 75 pounds. I'm not sure where I read that though. I think it might have been in the instruction manual.

75 lbs/34kg, from page 2-52 of the 2003 Owner's manual (from the pdf edition, may not correspond with the printed version).

Yeah, I had that thought (Chevy), but I figured, well, give it (Vibe) a shot anyway! That's it! We'll prevent thousands of needless deaths by doing a public service: Prevent fatal Vibe roof collapses! Don't park your snowmobiles on top!
