Well that's a shame. Next year then! It'll have to count. And it won't be in August, because I'm already missing something cool going on locally that just so happened to get scheduled same day as the meet...

Being stuck in the left lane during a slow moving traffic jam on the Interstate or being stuck in the right lane on the Interstate behind a a person doing 10 miles under the speed limit. I have had plenty of either, and being stuck behind a -10mph person is less infuriating. Only because I really d...
My mother has had the worst time trying to cancel the XM for her Traverse. She just begrudgingly buys into the stupid-low offers and deals with it every once in a while. That must be how XM keeps going... Once you're in, you're in. They'll get a dollar out of you one way or another. I'm glad the For...
I just shot him an email about the little diecast Vibe, along with the following picture. It's a great show. The Weekly shows are also great. Well worth the watch if you're into the auto industry at large.
If you don't watch these daily podcasts from Autoline Daily, you at least need to begin watching today's (8/17/2020) podcast starting at the 6:44 mark. Do we have a Nick Hernandez on our boards? http://www.autoline.tv/daily/ Hey, look at that! I watch Autoline Daily, and figured I'd send in my scav...
And yet I'm considered an "OG" over in The Facebooks. I've seen a couple generations come and go in my nearly ten years. But relative to some here I'm still green.
I believe they're item 16 in this diagram. The site has parts diagrams and numbers you can look up to find on Amazon or Ebay if you want to price-shop.
In my defense, the drama site has drama that must be dealt with. The day I just had... Anyway, all graduated now! Working up here at the entity formerly known as TARDEC. Finally working on my own Vibe since I have the time, money, and single-stall garage to do so. I'll be trying to coordinate more b...
Greetings GenVibe forums! Long time no see. The Facebooks have been busy, and so have I. If you didn't already know, I have been selling decals via Etsy for a little while now. However, stock on the decals is low, and I need to fund a vinyl cutter. So I had some keychains made! They are a rubber mat...
Ack... cobwebs. I really need to visit here more often.... ANYWAY here's something of an itinerary: FRIDAY: Everyone arrives. I'll be there some time in the afternoon to meet & greet. However, since I live just an hour away, I will not be staying at the Utica hotel overnight. As per usual I susp...
GenVibe Meet 2018! Location: Clinton Twp, MI Date: June 30, 2018 Activities: Carting, mini-golf at CJ Barrymore's! Potentially museums on Sunday, such as The Henry Ford, if demand exists. Hotel Details: Comfort Inn Utica on Hall Rd. Block of 15 double rooms with refrigerators and nukers and big TVs ...
We have no plans... Going to go free-form. Plan on joining us at the Red Roof. Tim, you should have my number just in case. We can easily try and stick around, then once you arrive we can ship off for lunch or something.
Ladies, Gentlemen, and Zane.... I am pleased to announce the location and date for GenVibe Meet 2017! We are meeting in tandem with the HCMO; Hard Core Matrix Owners. Big thanks to Justin Wheeler on this one... Date: June 2 - 4, 2017 Location: Louisville, KY Hotel: Red Roof Inn Louisville Expo Airpo...
Are projectors worth it? I do a LOT of night driving. It's the reason why I don't do silverstars or ultrastars... they look pretty, they are brighter, but they last a month. No joke, even on the packaging the ultrastars say 150 miles life, where the OEM type say about 1200 hours of life. They are d...
Things you need: Supercharger Idler bracket (hard to find, and might be your biggest hang-up) Belt (Dayco 5060850) Colder plugs (NGK BKR7EIX, I believe it's NGK 2667 from auto parts stores) Colder thermostat (160 ideally, but 170 will be fine) Engine management Some form of extra fuel delivery If yo...
The Plan for GenVibe Assault Day One: 10:00am - Meet at the Lane Motor Museum. We will get a head count, pay, and wander about the Lane. We will have the conference room with refrigerator, and the grassy area outside for our use. Shaded trees will be there and I will try and remember to get some bev...
GENVIBE MEET 2016 TACTICAL UPDATE: T - 31 days Ladies, gents, everyone in-between, and Zane.... The meet is coming up fast! We are one month out so I wanted to just post a refresher AND see who is confirmed as going. THE PLAN: Day 1: GenVibe Tennessee Assault Alpha Convene upon the Lane Motor Museum...
Thanks everyone. Main post updated. And Zach, with the Corvette museum on Sunday we could find some fun roads and caraVibe on up there. I wholly support the idea of a micro-roadtrip. Heck, seeing Jeff & company in the middle of nowhere, Ohio at a rest stop was a fun diversion. In fact, if you wa...
And I suppose this is a good time to float the idea of a caravan from Michigan to Tennessee/Kentucky? Who might be interested in that? Or would that be a bad idea?
Alright folks, I have received and responded to the Lane's contact. If I am correct, we will receive use of a meeting room from 10-12:30, go on the basement tour at 1:00, and be free to do stuff every time near then. There's a covered garage in which we can park that's the same room as the museum, b...
Cruze hatch, meanwhile, is an attractive and useful car. I got to sit in it at the Detroit Auto Show. Three-prong outlet for the back, USB ports up front and for the rear, heated rear seats... All good things. I'm glad to hear the Cruze hatch looks good in-person! The picture looks like GM stole Fo...
Alright folks, I have official emailed the Lane Motor Museum, and will get back to you with details! June 25th is our date as of the moment of my typing.... That's the problem with living out west. It would be a nearly 5,000 mile drive round trip. I can't justify $450 in gas and 4-5 days of constant...
It's worse than that, all we're getting appears to be the coupe and the sedan! They might bring a hatch over if Cruze Hatch sells, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

That is the European Civic We never get the Euro Civic. This is the American Civic: http://media.caranddriver.com/images/media/51/2016-honda-civic-inline1-photo-662952-s-original.jpg Besides, Civic is a mainstay and staple of the compact car crowd. This new generation is the only good Civic since 20...
While technically fraud, if you have a car with 300,000 miles, nobody is really going to care that the display says 300,000 and keeps ticking instead of 299,999 and doesn't. Think of the reason behind the law: to keep fraudulent people from lowering a car's mileage to make an extra buck. Besides, di...
The problem with the odometer is a display issue. It still counts mileage, but wont display due to a code error. This page gives a bit of an insight on that.
No particular year is better than others. You can check out the Everything You Need To Know thread in my signature to check out the changes throughout the years, but they all function pretty much the same. Craigslist is hit or miss, and sometimes you'll find someone easy to work with, and sometimes ...
Lots of places are out there and will do them for you. I've done two sets for my Vibe and one set for someone locally. What's your location? I can either find someone from a group I'm in or we can converse about some work.

Greetings! Cool to see a Vibe doing rallycross. I'd love to give rallycross a shot eventually, but my Vibe is too much of a pavement pounder to enjoy rallycross. I didn't know you were relatively near me. I'm just outside of Flint. Doug Gekiere, another member, has a Vibe he rally races in Rally Ame...
Wow ! Thx for posting. I have been wanting to convert the halogens for a long time but dont care for seperating the headlight assemblys for a HID kit. Too much work for me, besides I wasnt going to purchase a new pair of headlight lenses ( cause they are 12 years old & have been restored twice....
Thanks for the compliment, and thanks for not going HID in the stock housings. That just won't work as well and will blind people. If you want, we can see about doing some projectors for you.
I saw your video pop up on Youtube this morning. There are many different LED bulbs out there. Two members that are also on the Facebook page have the LMZ kit with metal housings, better LED placement, adjustable front-back placement for optimal placement, so you can get the LEDs in the right spot s...
Alright everyone, GenVibe Pontiac Illinois 2015: who will be there? I'm going to send an email out tonight to the Pontiac People and want to get my numbers straight. And if you could also post your GenVibe forum username, that would be a great help. Thanks
