I'm an accountant working in the natural resource industry.

Fritzburg

Well, at least you received a tenderized duck dinner for free...

Fritzburg

Well, I don't have one yet, but I live in Cambridge, an hour South of Toronto. If I close my eyes while I drive I can pretend I'm in a Vibe...does that count?!

Fritzburg

Hey, why do your want an Auto so bad?

Fritzburg

I just spent a half hour playing that...LOL! I love it, thanks for the link!

Fritzburg

Well, I'm gald I waited then

Fritzburg

Yup, a stinky ehaust will always be around, onless you covert it to battery power...I'm not sure how many "AA" batteries you will needfor that...anybody know?

Fritzburg

Fritzburg

A Hoe To or Garage section would be good. That way people can see what i takes to mod/repair things on their Vibe.

Fritzburg

I agrre, that is your best course of action.

Fritzburg

A New Years resolution then...I will not drive a car that is not under pressure.....

Fritzburg

How do you know they are too high? Do you have alot of weight in the back?

Fritzburg

There should be a small switch located behind the clutch pedel arm, put a shim in there, or tape it down, that way you never have to do it. Just remeber not to try to start it in gear.

Fritzburg

What!? You don't like my winter car? Geez, do you know how hard it was to find those rims?

Fritzburg

Take a look at the link below, this may help out http://www.matrixvibe.net/techdocs.shtml

First off, I don't think it's a dumb question. I had the same concerns when I lowered my first car.I dropped my Cavy 2" with Eibachs. I also had the strut tower bar installed. The strut bar will help turn in, but does little if anything for up and down suspension movements.I would strongly sugg...

Fritzburg

I didn't even consider that! Great, another point in the "Why the Vibe is So Cool" column.

Fritzburg

Things I will get done within the first year of ownership: 1. Tinted Windows 2. Supercharger 3. Lowering Springs 4. Cold Air intake (Not Sure of Supercharger Intake Setup) 5. Sound System (It's Installed in my Cavy Right Now) 6. Shave ALL Emblems/BadgesThings I MIGHT mod: 1. Full Exhaust (2.5" ...

Fritzburg

Salsa! I think the are rookies, what that magazine called Kiddy Kar Kraft?

Fritzburg

LOL! That sounds shag-a-delic man!!

Fritzburg

sweet! what colour?

Fritzburg

Ya, i would only seem right to buy new if you have the discounts coming to you. You can never know what the owner before you did with that car either...

Fritzburg

I never treated synthetic oil any different then dinosaur juice, chaged it at 5000km. I can't say if there is a difference, but I went back to dino juice because of the price point.

Fritzburg

I can't seem to believe we are talking about this, tress for cars, lights, inverters...whats next, someone have a small blender to make egg nog? LOL!

Fritzburg

quote:I somehow still get this magazine, yet haven't seen a bill or paid anything to them in years.... Uhm, you could give them your new address, it's over on the left of this message...lol

Fritzburg

It would seem that the reviewers were not as impartial as they should have been from the sound of it.

Fritzburg

I think buyer beware is more like it. I've purchased computers on E-bay before, never any problems...yet...

Fritzburg

I was watching the Speed Channel last night, and Motor Trend TV had a comparison of the Vibe GT, Mini Cooper, and VW Beattle Turbo S.I was a strange comparison to say the least. They loved the Vibes engine but complained about the "knotchy" shift motion.FYI.

Fritzburg

I'm really not impressed with that rear wing under the hatch, it eems out of place with the other one on top.

Fritzburg

If GM offers it as a dealer install when you purchase your Vibe, I'll do it, and just finance the extra cost into my monthly payment, it doesn't get easier then that.

Fritzburg

I would prefer the supercharger for usable power throughout the powerband.

Fritzburg

Dude, you have an AC outlet, chirstmas light all around the interior!! The blinking ones!! and a small tree in the rear, also with lights!! LOL!

Fritzburg

It might be cheaper then a turbo or supercharger, but i'll keep the laughing gas at the dentist...thank you.

Fritzburg

I can't believe that that Toro keeps turning up! LOL I love that thing! You have to give the "inventor" credit for original ideas...

Fritzburg

Oh ya Baby, lots more!

Fritzburg

I remeber that thing! I love it, too bad I can't get one...so sweet and not ugly, like a Mitsu...LOL

Fritzburg

Right forgot about the broker fees, and yes you would need to safety the thing, and maybe even a emmissions test too, a complete pain in the a*s

Fritzburg

Ya I know, but I only use it maybe 3-4 times a winter, only on the REALLY cold nights.

Fritzburg

You will have to pay GST or QST (7%) on the value, plus all the ownership stuff. I would be a real pain to do it.

Fritzburg

Always hide it! It looks ugly. I leave it on all night. I plug it in when I go to bed, so maybe 6-8 hours tops. I'm not sure if thats good for the engine, but at least I have a warm car

Fritzburg

No really difference between the two, just paint the embelem red and you are set! Very cool though, i would love to get one, guess I'll have to talk to the guy at the local model shop. Anyone else want one? I'll see what I can do...

Fritzburg

Aspect ratio my friend, you have to increase the size of the side wall if you reduce the diameter of the rim.

Fritzburg

Ya when I use my block heater the car is so nice to start in the winter, and it heats the interior quicker...sweet heat!!!

Fritzburg

I'm sure you could beat the hell out of your tranny, but you could do that without a supercharger.With boost you are demanding more from the engine, and adding great stress, but I would assume your engine/tranny, and all parts in general will last about as long with a supercharge as without, provide...

Fritzburg

Ya, try declearing that at the border. One bottle Wiskey, one carton of smoke, oh ya, and one Vibe...GST? What is that...LOL!!

Fritzburg

I know my Cavalier has a 10 or 12 Year rust proforation warranty, so why bother with it. I hope I don't need to keep my Cavy that long!

Fritzburg

What do they mean by surging ahead? Does the car just keep accellerating? Geez that would be rather alarming!

Fritzburg

It only makes sense to offer a turbo for the 2ZZ, think how big the market is, with Matrix, Vibe, and Celica, they could sell hundreds in the first month!
