Corrosion hasn't been an issue, fortunately. I did have to replace the engine in 2013; that wasn't fun. There is a very small oil leak somewhere (when running) but otherwise the drive and mileage are still very good. My replacement is a 2017 Mazda3 GT hatchback which I got in 2018. I lost cargo spac...

Well, it has been a wonderful ride but time has come to part with my 2004 Abyss Vibe. It's been relegated to "pickup duties" for the past few years and I don't really need two cars anymore. Proud winner of May 2007 VOTM. ;) https://images.craigslist.org/00A0A_habWFFdluIJz_0CI0t2_1200x900.j...

Again, GENVIBE to the rescue (joatmon, especially) All three of my lights finally went out on the stock radio (yes, I still have my 2004 Vibe as my daily driver!). So, after a couple of months of trying to remember settings, I went to Radio Shack and picked up a couple pairs of the 12V, 60mA bulbs (...

Love seeing this thread still active!Even though my prototype was a solid cover - and I like the look of a solid cover - I much prefer the hinged cover. It takes just an extra minute to install, but is much easier to remove and stow, if needed. Also, one can use thinner (eg., lighter) wood and still...

First of all, great work. Very ingeneous.Second, maybe I'm being overly-cautious, but if you plan on using this in public,I recommend putting some clear silicone over the tips to prevent accidental "Freddy-ness", IYKWIM.Third, I happen to know someone who worked on the recent remake on NoE...

Wow, APM; this is nearly a 2-year bump!My Vibe has taken a beating over the past year. Still looks good externally - and getting awesome mileage since I did a couple of oil treatments/changes last month. I've averaged over 33 MPG for the last three tanks (in an automatic, no less). And the interior ...

Quote, originally posted by VforVIBE Â»Actually it's cheaper to go aftermarket then OEM, so I'd say it's a rational thought. Are you including the painting in the cost, too? Most of the AM stuff isn't painted, IIRC.

Quote, originally posted by HawaiiPontiacLover Â»I'm sorry Just wondering...what does one use to heat it? A heat gun. It's like a roided hair dryer. Used for shrink wrapping and some hobby stuff (like mono-koting R/C aircraft).Heating and re-shaping should work. I did that for my mom's Toyota Camry ...

Yep. It was fun for a while, but after it got sold to Platial, things went down south.They did contact me at the end of 2009 and allowed me to save an archive file that supposedly has all our data, but I'm not sure. The KML looks okay, but I'm not sure if everybody is in there. Plus, I have no idea ...

A suspect has been arrested in the case.http://www.chron.com/disp/stor....htmlVideo Article:http://www.chron.com/disp/vide...25001Thanks for your suggestions. Am still hoping to find out what vehicle that was, out of curiosity.

ZubenElGenubi

Don't know about the newer Accords; not enough taillight. Also, rear window is clipped at base (the original image rear window looks like it tapers to a point).

ZubenElGenubi

I totally agree, Dave. I'm seriously thinking of asking CrimeStoppers if they'll send me multiple frames of the car so I can process them in PS with some noise-reduction software I use for my astrophotos. Might very well enhance the image significantly.RE: Honda Accord guess...still not convinced. T...

Welcome to genvibe.com!Sorry to hear about your audio issue. I assume you're using a factory radio. If you're getting no bass response when changing the EQ settings, it's most likely the circuitry in the head unit (HU) and you may be best off replacing the entire HU. They come up on eBay frequently ...

We expect pics or link to Google Street View when it does come out.I'd read somewhere that turnaround time was fairly quick, like less than 60 days.I kept a screenshot of our home since it was taken just before Hurricane Ike.

Saw UP (Digital 3D) with my wife last weekend. It was just short of excellent; I only had one minor logic issue (such as logic goes in an animated feature), but overall the story was very good. (BTW, I'd never seen a 3D flik before and Pixar did it right; it was very subtle, and felt perfectly natur...

That's frickin' hilarious, because I have a Threadless T-shirt called "Spoilt" that reveals the twists of those two movies, among others:I've seen a lot of bad movies, but I'm going to define "strange" as one that wasn't necessarily bad, but left me confused when it was over. By ...

It's still Toy Story 2 for me, but I haven't seen UP yet. Although I highly suspect it won't bump TS2 from its place. Since I did the last poll, Ratatouille has moved up my list some and Wall-E falls in the middle somewhere. But, I'm gonna wait until after this weekend. I'm actually hoping to convin...

A couple of years ago, I started a poll/thread on your favorite Pixar movies at that time. Since then, Wall-E was released and this weekend, Pixar's 10th feature film, UP is coming to theatres. I thought it might be time to do an updated poll to include those movies and see if time has changed anyon...

I use a pair of Oakley Flak Jackets with black Iridium polarized lenses. I originally had fire iridium lenses and promptly scratched them. Still, the best sunglasses I've ever owned.

I just got off the phone with a local branch of the Texas Dept. of Transportation (TxDoT). They believe that the 8-digit VIN is an indication that the vehicle does not pass federal safety and/or emission laws and that it cannot be titled. Also, I would need to get information on its Certificate of O...

Well, I just paid off my Vibe, but I'm seriously going to see how much financing I can line up. Count me in as a potential bidder.

My mileage has gotten better over the life of the car. Maybe I'm more conservative (heh, after I got my CAI, I gunned the cr@p out of it for a full tank!).Here's my mileage over the life of the car so far:

Well, I just completed two "mods"..First, I got a new windshield after a rock chip on the very far right corner created a two-foot long crack in about one month. Wish I'd seen the chip, but it was out of view from the cabin (over the black area near the weatherstripping).Second, and most i...

According to a Reuters UK news article, GM is only focusing on "the company's three strongest global brands -- Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick, as well as its GMC truck brand."Sounds like Pontiac is off the list to me. Guess I better get my recall work done and soon.

As a person who leans to free-market policy, I'm appalled that the government is considering injecting capital into the Big 3. But if it must be done, then some serious conditions should be made in addition to payback to the government. The 1979 Chrysler loan is a good example of how such an agreeme...

I wasn't worried about power up; they're only testing particle accelleration at this time (at least, until the transformer loss).The real surprise wasn't going to happen (if at all) until the first particle collisions started happening.
