Members come and go for various reasons. In my online travels I've been a member of many forums, most of which I can't remember the URL's for. There would be thousands of registered members, but just a fraction of regular contributors. Most would join, ask a question or two, then suddenly disappear....

Pulling the fuse has worked for me in the past. Just pulled the fuse which disabled the alarm and car started right up. This was done in a friend's car where the alarm wouldn't shut off.

Here's my favorite (if you can get away with it): FAAAAAQ

What I would really like is a roll up cargo cover. The one that came with the Vibe just isn't working for me. I find it too much of a pita to unhook it all the time, so I just have one side hooked now. Does anyone know if a roll up cargo cover exists for the Vibe?

crazytrain

I think it's supposed to go on sale in the fall and priced from the low to mid $20's.

I've been a member here for about two weeks and there's a great bunch of people here. The search function works very well. I use it before asking questions and find the answer most of the time.

I have the A/C & recirculate on all the time. It will be that way until around November....maybe into December. When the cool air comes it's such a nice relief from the heat & humidity, although alot of you have worse heat than FL lately. Ya'll need to come down to FL to cool off. There's us...

You know you live in FL when the national Hurricane Center is on your favorites list. It's really too early to tell where this will make landfall or what it's intensity will be, but as of right now I'm within the cone. **sigh** Well, if I ever need to evacuate at least I have a vehicle that can carr...

I keep it down most of the time and really love the hard surface area. Being a service professional my car doubles as my office during the day. I just need to get some velcro so my stuff doesn't fly off during turns and short stops.

crazytrain

Well, I've been a Vibe owner for 10 days and already put on over 900 miles. I've very happy with the purchase. The car drives and handles well and for its size the fuel eceonomy is great. Sometimes I'd like a little more HP, but I'll forego that for better fuel economy. With gas at $3+/gal. it's tim...

(removed)!!! When I see something like that I can only imagine the worst. Glad you and you're wife survived and have recovered. To only break a leg & rib after seeing that sort of damage is amazing.

crazytrain

After 1 week of ownership and driving just over 800 miles I can say that I really enjoy driving the Vibe. It gives me a nice smooth ride and I'm averaging 30MPG with an auto transmission and the A/C on all the time (split between city & hwy driving w/ some stop & go traffic). MPG mileage est...

Quote, originally posted by DHelm72 Â»Nice car. I test drove an HHR with my wife. The only thing that kept me from buying that car is that the front seats were very cramped.

Hey, that looks just like the one I bought last week. Schweet. Lots of luck with it.

crazytrain

I really like that color on the HHR and may have gotten the same if I had purchased one. Looks great with the tint.

From Palm Beach County here. However, I lived in Pinellas from '96 - '01. I get back every once in a while to visit friends.

I got ABS and Front & Side Airbags on the Base w/ AT. My insurance company did not give any discount for the side airbags - all they cared about was front airbags & ABS. I don't know how much of a discount I got because of it, but I was quoted $122 a year more for the '06 Vibe than the '99 S...

OK, the headlights are my first peeve about the Vibe, they're always on. Tonight was the first time I drove it at night and it was weird to have the headlights come on without me doing anything...and not having a way to turn them off irritates me. What engineer sat around and thought this up? Was it...

Thanks for the compliments! I was actually about to buy a silver Vibe, but I had a question for the sales guy and we went out to the lot to take another look at the car. We came back in to the showroom via a different entrance and the Stealth was sitting there. I really liked the color and went for ...

Quote, originally posted by Mrizzle05 Â»I wish they had the color when i chose my vibe Looks good... mod bug soon???Yeah, I'm planning on a clear bra (complete package) and window tint. I just need to find a reliable place by me that does both.

I was considering the HHR. Congrats & lots of luck with it.

Came home this evening and needed to wash the bugs off the Vibe. Had bugs splattered all over the windshield, front grill & side mirrors. It was getting dark, but I decided to snap a pic. I looked into my crystal ball and I see better pics in my future, but this is it for now.

Thanks to everyone for your warm welcomes. Pics will be coming when the timing is right - meaning it stops raining and I have the time to snap 'em. Soon.

Toyota reliability, huge cargo space, great gas mileage - that sums it up for me. Purchased the Vibe yesterday and already put on 250 miles. I still have 1/2 tank. WOW!

crazytrain

Yes, I got the extended warranty. 5yrs., 100,000 miles. It was expensive, but I felt for this purchase it gives me some piece of mind. I hope I never need to use it though.

crazytrain

Thanks to everyone for your replies. Strike "almost" from the title - I went and bought one today - Stealth, auto, ABS, side airbags, preferred package (power) and premium monotone appearance package. I plan on having the windows tinted and alram system installed within the next couple of ...

Hi all.So, I've been thinking of getting a Vibe for quite some time now. I like it's looks, fuel economy and utility.
