Did anyone get a Vibe for their wife?

[Fialchar]

And if so, do you feel you got the better end of the trade?

Earlier version - Bill Clinton gets off AF One with a new puppy. Marine says to President "Nice dog SIR!" Clinton says "I got it for my wife." Marine says "Good trade SIR!"

[Fialchar]

The original version goes back way before Clinton was ever elected.There were versions like "I got a gun for my wife" "Good trade" in the 70's

Yes she got a 2003 Vibe and I got a 2003 PT Cruiser. Other then mine has more power, they are equal. She loves hers and I love mine. Mine is leased for work and hers is not.

[Mavrik]

no I bought the Vibe for myself (yes I am selfesh haha) but for the gf I had at the time I "almost" got an automatic... thank god I didn't because I am not with her now and still love my car. oh, and love the gf I have now who doesn't need her own Vibe, she has her own. "His and Hers"

[AKLGT]

no, i got my own vibe and since i am not gay and don't have a wife, i would not get one for her. and since my beau has his own vibe, there would be no need to get him one either! LOL

[Fialchar]

I think the general idea of the post was missed by a few people, but good to hear the news everyone

[AKLGT]

but one of the new members said he just got a new/used 03 vibe for his wife. and vibeok got one for his wife.

[Fialchar]

I was more reffering to the wording. IF you read it a different way it means "Did anyone trade their wife for their Vibe, and do you think you got the better end of the trade?" (Meant as a joke, although a bad one maybe )

[AKLGT]

apparently, joatman was the only one who got that.

[joatmon]

the ironic part is that I took it the way you did, and was trying to twist it into a joke. Half expected to get hammered for thread hijacking.Anyway, if a person was looking for a fun economical car to get for a loved one, then the Vibe would be great. If I had a loved one (sniff) and I saw the pics in the "damn good car" thread, i'd want her to be in something that safe.

Mine is leased for work and hers is not. I had a 2001 PT Cruiser AT (non-Turbo) until late last year. Owned both the PT and the Vibe together for most of 2003 I can't say the PT had any more power than my '03 Vibe AT (base - not GT). Someone somewhere has the stats on each I am sure, e.g. the 0 to 60 in xx seconds comparisons. Neither are "hot rods" - think they are about equal EXCEPT the Vibe mpg is about 6 mpg better and I have a little more faith in the Toyota parts; and in PT's favor, IMO it rocks style wise inside and out.

so if I said I traded the old ex for the Vibe does that count? cause she hated it and didn't want me to get it. Well she still has no car and I don't know where she is now

Well she still has no car and I don't know where she is now (removed)! actually, you kinda DID trade her in for your vibe! so the question still remains.... did you get the better deal? and i think under that philosophy, vibechick also traded her ex for a vibe.

[Mavrik]

Oh I definatly got the better deal.

[AKLGT]

well you got the better deal out of that too.

[Winter]

Heh, even though the question is moot at this point, I'll still go along with it.I originally got the Vibe for my wife, but when I traded in my Elantra for the Aztek a few months later, my wife just started taking the Aztek to work everyday leaving me with the Vibe....not that I mind, but still...

I must plead guilty to this post.Quote, originally posted by nepvibe04 » i got a vibe for my wife, and i drive my 99 sunfire i guess it's equal i like driving them both thoughAnd I got the 04 satellite Vibe for the wife while I drive a 96 Sunfire to and from work. Deja vue.

[meathead333]

well i got my vibe for me orginally, then i got married and my wife learned to like it and fell in love from all the stares she got while driving it i guess. as some of you may know, i just bought myself a cool 73 bronco, so we are both happy i think

I got a vibe for my fiancée, but I drive it a lot more than her. Whenever we need to run out for something I jump up and race out the door to the Vibe.But "my car" is a 99 Protegé. It's a fun car, but nothing at all like the Vibe.
