Hey, have you heard of the new Ipad? It's called the Ipad Nano! Oh wait, that's an Itouch. Nevermind.I'm just an Apple-hater. Not quite sure why. And I think the Ipad is useless when for much cheaper you can get a nice netbook or a laptop. It's just a bigger, more expensive Itouch. (Though the Itouc...

After reading a few reviews, I have to say no. They aren't good cars, and the Patriot, the better of the two, has only one attraction, and that's the off roading package. But I'll still sorta mention it to her. Best thing I can come up with is the Equinox or Escape. So that is what she may end up in...

KITT222

The thing is, she isn't entirely clear on the car she wants. The Equinox fits her perfectly, but she doesn't like it's styling, and she insists she doesn't want a small car. I kinda use her as the 'average American car buyer' standard. She wants something bigger, fuel efficient, and good in the snow...

Domestic as in American automaker. The Vibe would do because it is a Pontiac, and was made in America. We have looked at Tuarii'(?) and Fusions. She doesn't like the Edge's big gaping grill, but is interested in the SHO. ou.grizzly: Why an '08 and why only FWD?

KITT222

Wow. I never would have thought it was that capable. Thanks! That'll be a helpful testimony. I'll have to tell her about it when I go Christmas shopping with her this weekend. Jake, trust me, I have recommended Subaru's many times, but apparently she is struck with the idea that only lesbians drive ...

Well the time has come for my mom to replace her Trailblazer and Wrangler. She wants something more efficient, and good for the Minnesota winters. She is attuned to driving SUVs, and doesn't really like small cars. One big thing for her, is her driveway. It is almost a 45 degree slope in some areas,...

KITT222

Same thing that the Cruze has, the 1.4t and probably the 1.8.

KITT222

Yeah, I went to Mapquest. The time is the same as yours, but I still come from closer. Stupid rural midwest!

KITT222

How is that possible? My time (if I drive) is almost an hour longer, and I come from 40 miles closer.

Quote, originally posted by Whelan Â»Most cars that try to upgrade the mpg's that I have seen from a design perspective focus on the trail end of the car. Making it less of a cutoff as you did with the tailgate but even more so for noticeable differences. The concept was that the airflow off the bac...

To Hell, I vote! Though the when is important to me as well.

If you want the Vikings to play outdoors, tell them to hock of the Metrodome's roof, because unless the new stadium is privately funded, it's not going to happen in this economic slump. The reason the 'dome was built in the first place was because they were whining about how cold it was. Okay guys, ...

I removed the Vibe's cross bars, and broke the rear caps in doing so. We can fix them, but it's enough of a hassle to get them off that I don't think I want them back on.

KITT222

I took off my jacket, since the garage heater was on, and the mirror was the closest convenient thing. Fuel economy did show an increase, although I think some of it was counterproductive because I didn't see an increase that was too great. I think things like maybe the skirts were increasing drag, ...

If I were to get into Clarkson's frame of mind, I'd say that nobody could tell if they kept lasting or not, because they'd all be dead before too many miles would be put on them.

The SS Badger looks like the cheaper, and more fun, alternative, if we were to take a ferry. And if my math works out, the price of gas for the trip if we were to average 30 MPG (low-balling MPG for sake of my math) would even out the price of the car ticket. Then again, that is just one way. $130 o...

I don't want to disable the DRLs, I want to make it so some LED strip lights are the DRLs, and the headlights are just headlights. Maybe something like have a switch to change the lights from the headlights to the LED lights.

657 miles and 11 hours, 57 minutes from SAVAGE, MN, and I pass by Crystal Lake on the way.

KITT222

Hello all! What I want to do is install some LED strip lights, and use those as my DRLs, instead of my headlights. Now since I have little to no electronic experience, I would like some help. How exactly would I be able to do this? Any help is appreciated!Thanks!

I touched up and recolored my steering wheel Pontiac logo. I touched up the silver, and colored the red, black, so it is now silver and black.

For Vibe's all coming from a similar area, there should be a con-Vibe, and they all travel down as a group. For me, the first week of June wouldn't work, since my school goes until I think June 8. Once there would there just be a big camp out?

KITT222

New rear tires and an alignment for mine today, and a car wash later.

KITT222

Just checked today, and the Vibe passed the 78,800 mark. 584 miles in just a few weeks. Woo!

KITT222

He traded his Vibe for a Scion. And I've done some ecomodding things too, though currently they have been taken off. The ones I had on were mostly temporary, for a science project.

KITT222

I've seen several Vibe's in my area, including two almost identical twins to my Vibe. One was just like mine, '03 style bumper, moon roof, cross bars, monotone silver, only difference I saw was abuse on the bumper, and steelies, and mine has alloys. The other was a post '05 Vibe, which was almost li...

It was fun! But after that picture was taken I almost got stuck, but I shifted to L and got out of it. My all-weather tires are good enough for me. The Vibe is really capable with what it's got.

I would assume that it's be easy to wire them into the blinkers to make them flash when you hit the buttom, if that's what you're looking for. By the sound of it, you want it to go off like the airbag or seat belt thing when the doors aren't locked. If you could wire a switch into the door locking m...

I might be in Minnesota, in fact I'm pretty sure I am, but a good 'ol road trip could get me there! I'm willing to meet up in Michigan.
