We have had our Pontiac Vibe for almost 7 years now. It has guided us through many an adventure, both in travel and in life. Before dad's big RV, before our travel trailer, before even our minivan, we had the Vibe.
Without a doubt its greatest moments were enjoyed carrying Steph and I, before kids, on the 2003 Road Trip, the one that started them all. It took us 7,501 miles from Cincinnati to Seattle and down the west coast, bringing us back safe and sound with a tire blowout in 105 degree Kansas heat on the way back being the only mishap.
This car has been through it all with us. Ironically, this car outlasted its own maker. Pontiac is no more. But our Vibe, at least for the moment, lives on.
Today, on the way home from work, just before the intersection of OH-32 and Glen Este-Withamsville Rd, our Vibe's odometer turned over and crossed the 100,000 mile mark. I beamed with pride and nearly had to pull over for the tears that welled up in my eyes. So many memories. So much time. So many trips, so many miles. So much has changed.
Thanks for the memories and the miles, you old grey beast. And...here's hoping you can last to give us a few more.
Matt
