Re: Summer rims, winter tires for sale

Short of it: really really bad rain storm + flooding in area + CAI + hidden dip in road. : (
I still miss that car. The subie doesn't have all the cubbie holes the vibe had. Although the subie is faster overall, it doesn't have the little issues that made the vibe fun to drive.

Summer rims, winter tires for sale

Lost the vibe in summer of 13, I've been sitting on a set of summer wheels and winter tires. I don't know exactly how many miles are on the tires, but they have tons and tons of tread left. They are Blizzak LM-25s. 215/55r16 93h. The Rims are an alloy. I can't recall the brand and the center cap tha...

Re: 2003 headlight issue

the bulb needs to be replaced. there is a filament for regular beams/DRL and one for Highs. the low is burnt out.

usually when you replace one bulb you need to replace another. drivers side sucks a bit cause you have to remove the battery to get access.

Trailers

I'm looking to get a small trailer, maybe 6' long at most. How many people have trailers and where did you get it from? I'm trying to find one, but I can't find any.

Going to be using it to carry my kayaks and maybe a lockbox around so class 1 is all I need at best, maybe 200lbs of gear at most.
