i got blizzaks from tirerack.com, they slapped a piece or cardboard with the address on the bare tire and rim and sent them unpacked. they're a reasonable price, good quality, worked well last winter on slush and heavy snow, they also got me out of icy parking spots....No problems except for that on...

LocDog

Thank you for taking the time to type all that... In the case of the girl rear ending me and the nearby cop pulling up, i should have asked for a report but no one seemed to care that my car got hit As for the lady that merged into me, i would have had to make her pull over and then wait hours for a...

I keep having bad dreams with my vibe.....Ive had two dreams where my vibe flipped over on its side turning or going up a hill , several where I'm driving and the brake pedal isnt doing anything and I'm about to crash(once it was rolling into water, the other time into a ditch), and the other night...

LocDog

Hmm when i got rear ended, some paint got scratched and there where minor nic's... right after i got out a cop rolled up.He acted like nothing had happened, he wouldnt write a report and told me to not "worry about it because that happens around here"I didnt know it was ok to play bumper c...

Five here...-left rear passenger door clipped when it was opened without looking, crunched door by handle -slipped down icy hill into intersection, bumped car crossing that stopped infront of me aftering seeing i couldn't stop -slightly rear-ended a old blazer that stopped short-got rear-ended at a ...

LocDog

LocDog

Its different from the cellphone interference sound... but kinda sounds like it when the noise starts.it only happens if the radio is on... changing the station, to cd or even shifting into park/neutral/reverse, doesnt matter, the noise is constant, it only disrupts if the radios gets turned off.Acc...

LocDog

LocDog

I ran my line the same way... but it kinda pinches where it comes out from the fender and goes into the dash, nothing serious tho.The wire is a little smalled than my pinky, not sure of the gauge cuz i got it from my bro-inlaw.Wat problems would this cause?

LocDog

LocDog

LocDog

do they only replace the moldings under warrenty for the two-tone vibes?

LocDog

I agree!

LocDog

i went to the dealer in search of new retention clips and they go for $4 a pop... i think i need like 6 of em.I cant make myself pay $4 a piece for some crappy clips... im thinkin about replaceing them with stainless screws from home depot but that might be too permanent and tear off the actual plas...

LocDog

The oil pan looks worst from the side, and the flash kinda gets rid of the shadow made by the dent.. so its hard to see.As for the radiatior.. that "dent" is suppose to be there, it just goes down because it meets up with the mounting point. i looked on the other side and it has the same &...

LocDog

Crap now that u mention it.. it looks the whole radiatior is shifted from where it mounts

LocDog

i got those chrome things on the driver and passenger doors replaced under warrenty... it wont hurt to try

LocDog

nope theres no leak... im just afraid that since its dented in it might hit something inside.

LocDog

Alright i cleaned it up a bit and took more pics... how does it look?

Attached files

LocDog

it looks dented right where the crease starts.... it guess it doesnt look that bad at this angle

LocDog

that was there... there arent any leaks

LocDog

And what i think is the oilpan...

So0o i was driving down Rt 1&9 (an industrial area) when i saw the car infront of me bounce up and it ran over this black and metallic object. i was too close to the car ahead and didnt have room to swerve out of the way. I aimed for it to go right under the middle of the car thinking i had enou...

LocDog

i got like 20K miles on it.... im startin to see some wear under the gas pedal and it seems like the pontiac emblem is falling off from the passenger side mat

LocDog

Hey i got a ???Where did u get the front pontiac symbol from and how much was it???

LocDog

I dunno... My dealer seemed convinced i that i was suppose to get it... But dealers arent too reliable

LocDog

Yea i agree. its not that bad when its a little dirty... and i dont have a driveway to be washing and waxing all the time. Actually i dont think i've waxed it yet

LocDog

I talked to my deals and they said that i was suppose to get some touch up paint in the mail a couple months after i got my car... i havent gotten anyting Has anyone else?

LocDog

LocDog

I looked around auto stores but could only find replacements at the pontiac part dep.... for like $31!I cant pay that much for such a flimzy filter, if neone has replaced their's or know where t...

LocDog

The covers snap in... being gentle doesnt work.I dont think using a screw driver would help, wouldnt it damage the edge of the cover?to do this properly u gotta go out there and act like its not ur car.... get pissed off.... and pull on it like you wanna break it. Then everything will be ok

LocDog

I got mine April 5th of 2002... and i got like 18K miles on it

LocDog

Hmm someone should make a poll for which is worst... the element or the ass-tek
