wow it was a pissing match until the post right above this one... and I actually lernt some'thin...Thanks man... But people are so worried about their speaker brands... never mention the amp behind it or the eq settings... it all plays a part doesn't it?

binary

Don't forget the big battery packs you're using to save the environment --- are made in China... land of environmental disasters at the expence of making cheap junk for the competive market that only cares about a lower price.

I'll kick my two cents in here... Windows gives me job security. Linux gives me security. OS X gives me sanity.Gento is a great distro to cut your teeth on. Go get it!

looks like the horns survived!Hurray for Hella! Crush zones suck... if that were my 74 Caprice, we'd all be eating tenderized venison steaks.

Ha, I wasn't going to let someone else get this question, I already had the answer... The car has automatic headlights and DRLs, so I think that light is on pretty much all the time. God knows why the choose to have it lit up.Anyway - there are modifications you can do to disable the auto head light...

binary

Welcome to the boards!This is the light that indicates your headlights or DRLs are on, I believe. Mine is green - but mine is an '05 with the redesigned dash board lights.Googling led me back here - this light?

reformulated fuel really kicks down your mpg. A more extreme example is the E85 engines that burn ethonol... they get a considerable amount of mpg less than if they burn e10 or e0.We have two gas stations that sell e0... they both happen to be Mobil and take speedpass!

It's amazing what a difference that makes - it doesn't seem like it would be a big deal. But I've also ran in to that too... going from a muffled woomf to a thunder boom just by flipping a pair of wires.(post 999... tee hee hee... I'm saving the big 1k for something good. )

Quote, originally posted by 1oldbanjo Â»Before I bought my Vibe I noticed that the painted cladding on all of the Vibe's was duller than the paint. The other Pontiac cars on the lot around the Vibes had paint that matched and was the same shine on the plastic and metal parts...but every Vibe in ever...

lame...The cladding on my '05 chipped when the gas cap from it's lofty (cheap-ass hook) wrest and fell the extrodinary distance of about 4 inches... took a nice chunk of paint and primer right off...

Quote Â»Pontiac could be betting its survival on a gradual shift to rear-wheel-drive cars and a renewed emphasis on performance, although the future of the troubled brand still hangs in the balance.Emphasising performance and rear-wheel-drive...

I'm with David - the non-skid stuff is solid.Kind of ironic that the dash matt manufacture would instruct you to use velcro on your dash... when they're selling you something to protect it. No matter what they say - it'll always leave a mark.

binary

Damn that looks effin' sweet! Tint, graphics, and the wheels... great setup!My steelies look like crap - but I just checked out ebay... they're not too pricey. Maybe next year... :-

binary

No pics... it looks exactly like the drawtight's I've seen around this forum... but it has a different sticker on it (That I peeled off alredy... it's some sick debadging disorder I have...)It almost makes the Vibe look better because the black painted hitch hides the aluminum muffler.

On sunday I was shopping around for a hitch for my vibe so we can use our hitch mounted bike rack again (used to have an Escape).I visited a couple of places to get quotes...

Wouldn't the "cracking" sounds indicate the window is broken? I mean, maybe you can't see it, but maybe it's chipping away the edges?I can't remember if the side windows are laminated or not... I don't think so. Man, I'm going to be really pissed if I roll my windows up one day and booosh ...

You may want to edit your post before an admin sees it. It's bad form to post requests for illegal software on public sites - especially when you can get a copy legit by signing up for it. At least I did... YMMV.And no, I won't share - I registered the key when I got it, and they probably linked it ...

For the present time - I'm stuck with my steelies. They're faded and if nothing is done - probably start rusting this fall when the salt arrives.Has anyone primed and painted their steel rims? Any luck?

Ceramic pads produce dust, it's just smaller and lighter in color (not clear).

Hey Blue - toss me on that list as an interested party... I pretty much have nothing to do on weekends. I mentioned in another thread that linked here that the first weekend in Aug would work great!

I've already got the first week off in August and I'll be in northern Wisconsin for most of it. Damn great timing if we can hit the first weekend.
