i had the same experience as far as the slipping. At first I thought that it was the tires...then i realized it's my heavy foot.

spideymike1

well i noticed that my windows seemed to fog up much more than normal. I suspected a leak. Put my hand up toward the sunroof because I recalled hearing others complain about a leak there. I just happened to left a little and noticed the movement. Good news no leak but i still cannot figure out why m...

spideymike1

i would guess it's not much more than that - and eighth of an inch. I suppose, based upon your responses that it's probably fine. However, next time in the dealer I'll mention it just to see.

spideymike1

ok, i got a question for all - should there be a little lift to my sunroof? I mean like this: Sunroof is closed, and if I stand beside my car with the door open I can reach in and push up on the glass, it looks as it the whole assembly (glass, frame, seal, etc) will lift slightly. As if maybe there ...

as far as I can tell this now makes Boston the city of champions!!! See what happens when a sports franchise follows the Patriots plan to winning??OK, seriously, it was a LONG time coming but now as a Bostonian I have to confess, with the World Series title now in hand after 86 years, there's a bit ...

just talking to my mom who has a 2003 AWD. She's had it for 18 months and bought it with a little over 2k on it. she now has just over 8k on it. So that's what? 330 miles/month?Just as a side (not wanting to hijack), she traded in her 1996 Olds that had 12k miles on it. I mean she barely even breaks...

Fusion Rules!

spideymike1

I bought mine in Jan '04 and have 3784 miles as of today...ok so I haven't had the car the longest but so far the least miles!

spideymike1

we're only right next door!You love the mountains and the hiking, that is if you are into that - if not, dude, ya picked the wrong state to visit! No seriously, the more I was thinking about it I suggest you drive to the top of Mount Washington - it's a cool ride, just make sure those brakes work fo...

sputnik,It sounds like you are heading to the North conway area - a great family area really, they have Storyland which if you are say, 7 and under, it's a blast. If not, you aren't missing much.In North Conway, there are some cool shops, Zeb's country store is neat.

spideymike1

do a search on ebay under the matrix. Last time i looked, toyota owners had a bunch up there.

spideymike1

dino,Was it this one?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...%3AITOf course I ask knowing full well that they might all be the same, right??

spideymike1

to all my NE vibers!Just curious if any of you have replaced the OEM antenna with one of those short ones - like the 3" one. I hear that the FM reception is fine but AM isn't? Anyone have good luck and where did you get them besides ebay? does someone like Pep boys sell them?

spideymike1

frosty,did you upgrade speakers as well or running stock on those as well?

spideymike1

hey, those are nice rims. Simple yet kinda stands out. I like it. good luck with the new vibe.

spideymike1

just from personal experience from leasing in the past but most dealers barely look over the car when you return it. As long as there is no major damage like doors missing they usually assume any scratches are normal wear and tear. I wouldn't even worry about it.

spideymike1

i wish the 2004 came with the subwoofer...you'll have that going for ya...

spideymike1

first, i see where you are going - i like that look, it's not bad. But i do think the centercap looks like it is missing something. I think, and this is only a suggestion, that I would get the silver reflective ponitac arrow of the centercap. something that blends during the day but stands out at ni...

spideymike1

well for the price it sounds cool...I can't wait to see them!

spideymike1

hmmm...this sounds intresting. I have one question and sorry if it seems naive but is the paint durable? Meaning does it adhere well?

spideymike1

great color - i love the car, looks nice. Good luck with it!

spideymike1

if nothing else, I would kill to see a pic of these on the vibe....

spideymike1

meat,This is exactly what I was thinking about buying before I went with the vibe. I loved the look and size of the colorado - orange of course. But I have to ask you, what do you think of the interior? When I finally did see one in person I was a little disappointed. Either way, good luck with the ...

spideymike1

happy b-day to Genvibe!

spideymike1

buy a second vibe for you and Let the mod'n start all over again!

spideymike1

good to have ya aboard! I'm sure ya gonna love the GT - if i had the $$ I would have so been on a GT - but no complaints. love the the vibe...what color you get?

spideymike1

wow, what can I say but man you put the effort in on this one! great job... Raging, how did other meets get organized?

spideymike1

yeah, where'd you get those wheels? don't hold out! Let us know!

spideymike1

well i live in the Boston area and after reading this started thinking where would it go? I can't think of any dealers with a lot big enough to accomodate too many cars...how many people do you think would attend? 10 cars? 100? I would say a great central location would be Gillette Stadium where the...

spideymike1

dino,well I might be able to help - I'm seriously thinking of going with 16" Konig holes - are you still intrested in the OEM's? Let me know...IM me email, carrier pigeon, whatever...

spideymike1

wmassdino - did you see the post for the TSW rims? kinda nice - I know you're rocking the steelies were you only intrested in the OEM wheels? the shipping might be the killer though...http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=9045

i wanted stick at first - the car I traded was a civic 5spd. I loved it but in reality i have a wife that uses the car part time and 2 kids in the back occasionally. As you get older your needs change I guess...even still the auto is ok - still pretty peppy....

spideymike1

i bought mine from David Ferraz in Woburn MA - he has a few dealerships in the northshore area of boston...he's pretty fair as far as price goes - Mine is the 3rd Vibe my family bought off him...

spideymike1

I see only the grey or the white around here and I have never really seen more than say 7 on a lot at any one time. I love the fact that mine is really the only one I have seen. Anyway, good luck with yours.

ya know it's funny, I live near Boston - I assume you are out in Western MA? Anyway, the dealer I bought the car from told me the fusion was the only one for miles - I kinda believed him thinking, gee, i haven't seen any others....maybe I'm just driving on the wrong side of the state to see them?? l...

i've owned my vibe since Jan and went through the car wash twice. (I prefer hand washing but it's too freakin' cold!) I just unscrewed the antenna. Also, since we are talking about car washes, for some strange reason the attendent puts a little baggie on the back wiper - he says it protects it from ...

spideymike1

congrats and welcome! I know you'll love it!

spideymike1

Actually, I'm from MA too - I just never posted here because I didn't think anyone else was around! Welcome Wmassdino and it looks like we have the same great taste in Vibe colors! LOL...

spideymike1

as far as the miles on the car i would say it is new - but the thing I would be thinking about is the financing. I know that here in MA if the car was titled then it is used. That meaning when you go to finance you will get the used car rates not the new car rates. Now I know that you said there was...

spideymike1

nice - i like them - and it seems like a good price. Good luck and post pics...

spideymike1

these are nice. Look a little like the Konig Holes. Where did you find them??

spideymike1

as far as figuring out what I was going to replace them with - i'm still up in the air. I know I have to go with something that isn't too deep - I was hoping something from Polk - Honestly as much as I want to upgrade I haven't had the time to start yet...gogo = thanks for the post - I was looking a...

Yank,Great job - I like it. I just started listening to the Grey album and love hearing other producers put there spin on it. I would love to hear your whole album! Save a copy for me! Quote, originally posted by yank dini Â»I am passing out some CDs when Im done so if you're interested.......

thanks for the link - i did a search and must have missed it!

I'm thinking I want to upgrade the speakers in my car. I have the moon & tunes package. The problem is, I personally don't like seeing the aftermarket grills. I want the door skins to look stock. I know that there are tons of you out there that have swapped out the speakers - anyone leave the do...
