off topic, but how do you guys like photoshop elements 5.0?i'm new to the photoshop world. i have this HUGE picture(s) project and need good photo editing.

mcgusto82

hey, give them a try. maybe they can put you in a new solstice.

mcgusto82

that doesn't look so bad. i'm sure it can be buffed out.. lolwell, the vibe is definately a great family car. good luck with your new car.

personal usage of a company vehicle is a taxable income. Most companies are required to keep track of business miles and personal. Reason being is that anything after 15-17% of the miles put are a taxablebenefit. so that money he pays is going towards paying that 15% monthly usage. this way, it isn'...

mcgusto82

great. now all you need to do is get rid of those bloody hub caps. !It looks great.

mcgusto82

Yu can always also get a autodim mirror with the built in home link. Huyndias are populr for thaving those. So are nissans.try ebay.

mcgusto82

I bought on off ebay, installed it myself. it didn't work ofcourse. couldn't send it back, so that left a bad taste in my mouth.

for 30K$ you could be looking at a fully loaded Mazda CX-7, Or a Nissan murano SL AWD. What sold me on the murano, was the standard back up camera on the SL

mcgusto82

Those numbers cannot be acurate. The idiots at Consumer report must've goofed up again. I've driven the CX-7. It's TONS faster than a vibe!! a 5 speed vibe at that.

mcgusto82

congratulations!! it would be nice for me to keep a car long enough to pay it off. again, congratulations.

i know nothing about log cabin it up. But i want to maybe suggest jamaca man?? i know, that's where my wife and i are going next year.

mcgusto82

ohh oh. Transmission problems?? it's time to get rid of it!from what i read, people either get a great time with the vibe, or entirely bad. never really in between. I loved my vibe, only went to the dealer once. For some noise that went away by itself.

Sorry to hear about your vibe. Maybe a murano is in your future... thye are NICE!

mcgusto82

15$? and pay the shipping.?

mcgusto82

hey. i actually have all of those things sitting in a closet. maybe you're interested?

mcgusto82

That's my whole point. It's the first mas produced HYBRID. Yet i've seen mags called it an electric car.

mcgusto82

Wow, that's nice! so it plays DVD video also? or just audio? either way. i've heard nothing but great things of DVD audio. Hell, even Giga MP3.

From the responses i've gotten from friends. Direct TV rules. i currently have the Basic antenna channels and internet from cablevision. 15mps Down/3mps Up. All of this 49$ a month. not bad.

The EV1 was critizied by everyone and their mothers. I'm not saying it was a bad car, just wasn't widely accepted. Also, the program was only in Cali. not sure what area. typically everyone doen't remember the EV1, but praises the Insight as the first Electric car of america. what i'm saying is that...

i have it. i love it!!!!

when i left the military. I had 2 cars to ship. The vibe and an CL. I am fortunate enought to have family that cares so much.

i'm soo jelous of all that snezzy!! i can't wait to put the murano on AWD lock!!

mcgusto82

GM doesn't give enough credit for it's EV 1 cars. They were the first to mass produce electric only vehicles. They pulled it off the shelves because it just wasn't a great performer. you could only get about 150 miles out of a full charge. but they did try.

mcgusto82

well, the vibe had it's good run. maybe we need to accept the reality that GM just doesn't love us Vibe owners. (ex-owner my case)

mcgusto82

GM is not going to make the same mistake it did 20 years ago and fallow the trend on Ford, and Chrysler. This time they are going the Toyota, Honda, Nissan way. NO AWD FO YOU!!! lolThey are however releasing some unibody midsize SUV's this and next year. wait, Ford and Chrysler did that already... h...

This post is useless without pictures!! lolothers have said the same thing.

The 3.5 is supposed to become the standard engine on the 500, Freestyle and Edge. Optional on the Fusion. The 3.0 needs to be taken out back shot till it doesn't move. AFA = Amarican Families Assosiation.

mcgusto82

Hell, i just compared the vibe and the Trix, the vibes looses 1k on trade in.

ohh man, that' the worse car based news i could get. Sorry to hear. I ran the vibe hard as hell. luckil it never pooped on me.

mcgusto82

Actually th corvett really is among the best in the world, but it isn't very long hooded. it's on the short side, plus is a nice drop towards the bottom. this new camaro is a long hood kinda like the early 90's town car. i just don't like it.

mcgusto82

I wouldn't look at a Ford for personall reasons. I am member of the AFA. Too bad cause the CX-7 is sucha nice car.

mcgusto82

What's R&D

mcgusto82

Good article. Another thing i found, was that vehicles with excellent rating that were AVAILABLE with ESP did not make the cut. Vehicles like the Excellent Nissan Murano.

mcgusto82

i went 2 years with the vibe and i can count in one hand how many times i used that feature. if it was a roll down like the 4Runner, it would get more usage, i think.

mcgusto82

i also recommend trying out different models, so you can tell the difference in them.

mcgusto82

The doors re-lock after 30 secs if no door is opned after being un-locked byt the key-less. 05 and up auto vibes lock after going into gear. just adding some info. maybe it can help.

mcgusto82

you're right. Ford hasn't made a product i'd buy in.. well, ever. lol

mcgusto82

The stang has projectors, the camaro i can bet won't have projectors.even an impala SS isn't available with projectors. but to each it's own.

mcgusto82

The styling is nothing like the next Camaro. It's tons more like the 6 series. which i have to say are very handsome. The next camaro will be just like before.. extremely long hooded. Look at the world's best sports cars. none are long hooded. The MB SLR is a poor example of a sport car. Like top ge...

i also keep a firebottle in my car. i kept it in the glove box in the vibe. Not really to put out a fire , but in case one of us could be stuck in the car asfter an accident. it would be accesable from the driver's seat. i've read soo many stories of people burning alive because they were stuck insi...

mcgusto82

yeah the vibe radio is on the crapy side. mine just before i traded it. It stopped keeping memory of the EQ settings. it went back to off. it kept time though.

mcgusto82

seems like a 2 din size unit, so yes. it fits.
