i got rid on my ninja 500 and now have a ninja 250 which is okay....the thing about having bikes in this part of the continent is that with only two seasons your riding times are fairly short with the maximum of 3 months of comfortable riding and its hard to justify spending big $$$$ for something t...

FYI....there is a site called http://www.cyclegraphics.com that has reusable graphics that can go not only on motorcycles but can be used on cars also....some look fairly decent.

i want to get the system all finalized, then shoot pics...might need help in trying to get them put up : not a problemo...look forward to seeing ya!!

one of them had alaskan plates, so its not being tested but actually owned by someone! an older lady was driving it...seemed kinda funny to see a lady in her late 50"s tooling around in this car...the color was gray and really didnt do anything to enhance its shape (my opinion). The other gt wa...

well i pulled the trigger last thurs. and had a 2.25 cat back custom system installed with a cherry bomb mini turbo II muffler. its a clean design with the pipe going straight back from the cat , next to the rear diff hub and into the muffler. the sound is very nice and ddeeeppppp! seems to be some ...

mine does the low speed heater fan rattle at all rpms and even with the dial turned OFF of the defroster mode (so the a/c condensor motor is not activated) almost sounds like bearings going out when the heater motor is at low speeds i thought it was just me having this issue.

red

just kidding you trd.....we fairbankans think the quest is "the last great race" just to give the anchoragenites a hard time 'cause you got the iditarod...the last great race term is applied to the iditarod offically i think all that snow is getting to you !!! time for a hawaiian vacation!!

red

You are mistaken, i think you mean the yukon quest is the last great race dont ya!!! lol... I'm glad anchorage got the snow...i'm craving the sun and the melting sounds of snow myself !!! i dont think i've heard of frozen corneas before on someone....i would think they would wear goggles or somethin...

according to the latest nada book, the vibe gt is almost $1000 less than the matrix xrs in resale and the vibe awd is $400 more than the base matrix awd but $400 less than the matrix xr awd.....go figure....people really get brainwashed on the "toyota" name = more $$$$ dont they!

red

well i'm getting 160 mpg per tank and its mostly city (awd/auto) and dealer says that "awds get lousy gas mpg" . have they checked to see if the catalytic converter and all related equip is operating properly?? pmh013 had this issue and no check engine lights popped on at all!!! she was ex...

red

i guess i was looking for more of a change.....everything pretty much looks the same inside and out

red

it was a bright reddish/orange (?) color.....it looks like a shrunken fifties chevy pickup....the passenger compartment looked rreeeaaallly small though! the women driving it didnt look like she had alot of room in it.... it looked really neat but i think i would prefer taking that $$$ and putting i...

when the temp drops below zero either in c* or f*, machines act strange...i dont know if you can change the thermostat to a higher # eg 205* w/o affecting the computers.....i know on the chevy 6.6 diesels here to get them to put out heat, people disconnect the cooling fans for the radiator then bloc...

ground clearance is a hazy claim because each car company measures this difference in various ways.....i cant believe this car has almost the ground clearance of an explorer.....must be how toyota does their measuring...normally its from the diff down to the ground...hmmm anyway i still think i need...

well not every car is perfect! lets see here: the sub wrx is having clutch problems and ,for awhile, severe strut issues were rearing its ugly head on some models , toyota had an issue with denying thousands of loyal owners fixes when their 4 cylinder engines died due to excessive sludge and is know...

well if you could see how greg plowed the driveway.......he covered up the 2 foot drop off into the ditch so basically i WAS high centered sideways when i ventured over that way....at the time it seemed pretty pissy what was funny was when i got my 9 year old behind the wheel to help me free it, it ...

where i live in alaska we have ice and snow about 6 months out of the year so most vehicles sold here are 4wd/awd..in fact one dealership boasts that the best selling passenger car in fairbanks is the subaru legacy which i dont doubt.....i didnt give it a second thought about choosing awd over fwd e...

i know this is a ongoing topic but i have to vent i am so mad!!!handwashed by vib and my hood is sssoooo bad with chips that the paint is flaking off around the impact areas...looks like the car has measels (sp) have at least 20 impact marks ranging from ball point pen size to pencil eraser size (ha...

well, after our recent round of below -30* weather....my mileage bottomed out at 16.77 mpg....and that doesnt include alot of idling...i have been averaging 18 -20 mpg in the 0* weather but it really drops when temp gets below -20*....if my awd kicks in alot the gas drops also! overall the mileage i...

how cold does it get in you area, frostygirl? i know when it is -25* or colder here, the car struggles to get to the half way mark, idling wont help it.....when it gets cold like this, wedge a piece of cardboard between the grilles and the radiator, it seems to help.....no car that i know of will st...

i have fogging and icing also, mostly related to moisture and temp inversions that we experience here in the winter, what is worrisome is how long it takes the system to clear this up!!! vibs are not the only ones experiencing this issuse....my company has a 2000 and 2001 ford tauruses (sp) and both...

i'm too short to do so however my 9 year old loves to knee on the seat and the console and stick her head out of the sunroof....yes i'm a bad parent for letting her doing this etc etc etc but we are on side roads and she reminds me of the golden retriever i've never had, LOL !!

both my windshield and my left fog are cracked...the fog took one hell of a hit and if it wasnt for the yellow cover that i bought from import that turns my driving lights into fogs, the lense would be lying on the ground somewhere !!! seriously, that yellow film is the only thing holding that lense...
