Gotta love the U-Pull-It yard

Two Vibes in the local U-Pull-It junk yard. Got me a front fender flair and roof rack cross bars for $13.32

My favorite place! Scored a rear (steel) Gen1 bumper for $29 today and 2 flawless wheel-covers for $18. :D

I miss going to the junkyard :(. I used to go all the time when I had my Sunfires because Cavaliers and Sunfires were always plentiful, but it's not the same with Vibes.

All the Vibes around me are still on the road. :x It's currently a 50 mile drive one way to find a wrecker that has one.

Not often that I see a vibe or matrix in this yard. But there are two now. One with some significant front end damage.
Just chased down a blower motor issue on ours. Seems the connector at the motor is burnt.
Time for another run to the bone yard! I'll replace the blower motor as well as the connector.

Today's trip was for a blower motor and the connector for it. Wife said the A/C wasn't working. Turns out it was. But the blower wasn't. Not sure why, but the connector was burnt. Going with the theory that the motor must be drawing to much power. Parts $15.
