Just got home from the rink. My 8pm hockey game ran a bit over BUT I was able to watch the last 2 minutes of the game (when close that it all that matters) then have a few brews afterward. Glad to see the Pack pull it off. Proudly wore my Wisconsin hoodie to the rink also

tpollauf

Looks good Also if it were a "southern car" from the beginning then you won't have any rust issues to deal with EVER Keep us all posted on mods & maintenance as they happen

Welcome Rob. I can't comment too much but Scott (musicmanmu) on this forum, who is probably at around 84000 miles on his 09 Vibe GT, would be one to contact about dependability issues as he sounds like an owner of the 3rd generation Vibes with the most mileage I'm almost half your size (5'-7" &...

I believe Toyota & Honda are probably identical as far as the positioning of the airbags. These two pics show where the airbag deployed out of this 2007 Honda Rigeline drivers side seat. This pretty much tells the whole story. Hope this helps

tpollauf

OK, so I'm going a little overboard now that I'm stuck indoors and my imagination is getting the best of me. This could be good OR bad. Anyways, while repairing my bro-in-laws 2007 Honda Rigeline drivers side seat, I studied and admired the electric grid which heats up the lumbar section of the seat...

OK. Seeing how I missed the Detroit Auto show, I'd be up for attending the Chicago one. The Presidents day weekend Feb 19 (end of the show weekend) would work best for me as I'd have a 3 day weekend and could afford to "blow off the whole day" at such an event. Don't forget about the 1/2 o...

Just received my case of 10 oil filters, via FedEx today I'm set for the next ten years now This would not have been possible without the helpful tips of you GenVibe members

Looking good up there in lower Michigan I knew you guys got a bit more than we did down here on the Ohio/Mich line I just got done shoveling off my driveway which is only about 70 feet long. Look like you got a sizable drive to clear there. Have fun & be safe

tpollauf

Damm girl, sounds like you had one hell of an interesting evening. Not surprising to any of us, the Vibe made it through your journey Seeing when you sent this out, you should still be in bed sleeping. Enjoy your day off, I know I am

tpollauf

Nice job Brian Your Vibe looks awesome in the snow Hope to see you again at a meet sometime later this year

Congrats Tim From the looks of our weather, you'll be able to do more ice racing for a while

Quote, originally posted by 06pvibe Â»Tim, I checked out your page. I appreciate the running/brake light mode on yours.

Quote, originally posted by J_TO_ENVY Â»On a bit of a side note, you can pickup a box of 10 genuine Toyota oil filters from TRD Sparks for about $3.50 ($1.10 cheaper than the dealer) a piece.

tpollauf

Not sure if this makes sense BUT if using synthetic oil, to where you'd drive an extra thousand or two miles, then you'd be better off with the larger filter as it would contain more surface area for filtration. Thus it wouldn't plug up as soon/often! Also, when filling up the crankcase with the pro...

Go for it. If you want to shift gears then you won't let the stiffer ride or other minor potential issues stop you from getting this Vibe. It usually boils down to personal preference with us all.
