Re: Damn Tires in the Road (Fun Bobby)

Thanks for the advice. I got a much better look at the damage this morning - unfortunatley though I don't have a camera to post pictures. The left wheel well plastic was hanging by one rivet so I just tore it off. I didn't notice if the rivets were shredded or the plastic just ripped off. The right ...

Damn Tires in the Road

Well, I've had my Vibe now for six months and someone sheds their tire leaving in the middle of the highway at night. Needless to say I hit going 70 and the entire plastic underside in the front is torn up. The car is still drivable and nothing serious seems to be wrong except for the scraping of pl...

Scion Ain't Cool!

Caught this on GMI earlier. http://www.gminsidenews.com/fo...=5391I know the problem with the A/C in Vibes was due to a different issue, but it did kind of ring familiar.

Re: Gas Prices!

Gas prices are not that high. Adjusted for inflation gas is still inexpensive. The true highest gas prices on record were in the late 1980's. Adjusted for inflation gas was over $2.80/gallon. Still - glad I own a Vibe While gas prices are rising, partially due to capacity and reduced supply from OPE...

I got my Vibe a couple of months ago. Pricing varies, but your first bet would be to go to Edmunds or Kelly Blue Book to get an idea of what the car is actually selling for. Each website has a pricing tool for new cars indicating what the car is actually selling for versus the sticker price - Edmund...

You may want to try computer screen wipes. Several of the wood polish folks make the stuff, especially for electronics and computers. The stuff is supposed to help eliminate static also - I've had mixed results. Also, the computer accessory manufactrer, Fellows makes them.

They say it will start for around US$20,000. Given its 18 months at the very least from hitting dealer showrooms I would assume it will go for at least $21,000.
