Quote, originally posted by trdvibe Â»take it in and have the dealer look at it. if it's cracking or the stitching is coming out, that's usually covered under warranty. it's only an 05. i had custom leather in my 03 and trust me, it was well worn and used, no cracking or stitching coming undone. Wel...

Quote, originally posted by slvrvibes Â»Superman Returns, very good. They will definitely, have a series of them come after this one.That movie put me to sleep... sorry, but I was disappointed at all the movie cliches they used.

You'll see your mileage increase steadily as you break in your drivetrain. It's a wonderful thing Almost 30k miles on my car this year... went from 33mpg to 37mpg (once, I think I had a tail wind )... and now with the summer heat, I'm back to 35 with the A/C on all the time. Some of the increase was...

Quote, originally posted by scherry2 Â»take the part off and go to the toyota dealer. they should have the right onesThen take the part and show the GM dealer... and call him an ***hole.He deserves it. When will dealers learn that they don't work if we go elsewhere?

Quote, originally posted by meem Â»Pontiac had a TSB on this problem with recommendation to replace HVAC door actuator that lets outside air into the car. I did this but the noise persists.

Quote, originally posted by Abyssmal Â»Unfortunately, there is a speed limit in MT now, and I saw plenty of cops on the way out here that appeared ready to enforce it!

1. I was thinking - holy smokes, the resale value is awesome! Then I saw the location of your post... $CN 2. Start adding up the parts that'll need to be replaced under scheduled maintenance... don't forget the parts that normally wear out like brakes, tires, wipers, timing, alignments, 100k tune-up...

She's pretty... although Volvos are rarely seen on the budget lot.

Quote, originally posted by Psychobroker Â»What happened to shipping this crap by train?Too wide for a train... unknown why it wasn't assembled in place, that seems like a good idea. I say fly this crap out of there... they have jumbo cargos, don't they?

Depends on how much you take advantage of the no limit speed limit there... Well, we'll be at the Cabellas.. which I've been told can take hours to go through..

I've sealed the "bullet holes" in the lens... but it's not going to last forever - it's the third hole I've filled in. I'm going to be looking for some aftermarket insanely bright 3" lamps - I travel a lot of backroads after dark.

Painted my steelies today... tired of the flat black turning grey'er and grey'er...So while doing a rotation I washed them with wheel cleaner, dried them, and shot them with 3 coats of a black epoxy enamel.I made a nice template by tracing the hubcap - then used 2" wide masking tape to create a...

Quote, originally posted by MNMSGALL Â»Awesome! Thanks for the info everone!If for some farked up reason GM tweaked the air box of the 06 and it doesn't fit - my wife's 05 vibe could use it, drop me a line. My vibe has been very happy with it's K&N for 9 months now.

Quote, originally posted by BlueCrush Â»No it only measures the hp/tq on one axle. The other is to just make sure it spins the same as the front.How could they accurately determin the amount of power your AWD was putting out then?

Most places that have a good selection of car care products AutoZone, etc ... or your big box shops like wal-mart, Farm & Fleet (or Fleet Farm... depending on where you live)...Expect to pay about $10-$15 for the bar and a spray of quick detailer that you'll use to lubricate the surface you'll b...

Wow, that's a sweet setup... I had never thought about a special dyno for you AWD folks, neat!Were they able to tell you the power split between the front and rear?

If it was on mine - it was promptly removed with the other badges... Although I did see a rather beat up Grand Am with one of these badges today and was wondering where they came from.Is GM selling these to make it clear who made your car? If so, then they really need to ramp up their advertising...

Quote, originally posted by Mathias Â»only in your opinion.And in the market. The wholesale value of a 5-year-old Malibu is about half of that of a CamCord. Similar stickers when new.

Thanks for the info! That's good to know having power windows actually makes something easier. $17 gave me enough to complete the back cargo area - and that's it.I'd probably start with another two or three rolls - and expect to make one more trip to buy just enough to finish.Until I actually comple...
