Good to see you didn't abandon ship Can't wait!

where did he run off too? Its well past the "mid-septeber" mark...

*cough*

I would also imagine eletric cars wouldn't have an outlet, they would plug INTO an outlet

Didn't mean to imply anything Kari, please don't take any offense!One time I used the outlet for a crock-pot when I brought chili to work (pot-luck).

I'm starting to find this trend disturbing. It seems that when ever someone new rides in my car... and I show them the A/C outlet... the next thing out of there mouth is "is this an electric car?"So far, the misconception seems to be among women, in their low twenties (not implying anythin...

You're all friggen nuts! LOL! Just kidding. I take calls from New Jersey everyday for my job. Found all of this kind of amusing

like Mavrik, 6'5" and graduating from a sunfire. I felt cramped in the sunfire (had a headroom robbing moon roof as well), but still found a comfortable position.One of the huge pluses for the Vibe, is the massive amount of headroom. Finally, I don't have to be super reclined so my head fits in...

any updates yet?

let me just say that I have been waiting a long time for a solution to getting rid of the roof rack!One question though, do you know if these things will warp with the cold winers we have in WI? I have heard of some people having problems with fiber glass hoods warping with the changing temps.I woul...

The center instrument panel is sort of cool, at least they are trying something different. Makes a lot of room for extra fuage pods.

I'm fairly certain the shade does NOT close by itself.If it closed with the sunroof... then it wouldn't be able to open independently of the sunroof. Meaning, you could only gaze at the moon with the sunroof open... which wouldn't make any sense.I have a moonroof in my Sunfire, I usually keep the sh...

I don't get trucks. Their big, clumsy, inefficient... and trucks still seem to be a few steps behind every other vehicle in styling.I chose the Vibe for its gas milage (I'm getting 33.5 mpg), Styling (fusion baby!), room, performance, handling, interior, ride... etc etc.I guess I don't "get&quo...

Wow, I had no idea there was such a difference between having the smokers package and not.So you guys without the smokers package don't have the ring around the outlet? And you don't get the cool little cup-holder robbing asshtray?

The Thunder has nothing to do with the Vibe, nor did it ever. It was a Montana/minivan replacement concept.

I've never dragged at a strip before, but plan to this summer. I'm sure my times will be lower than most I would imagine dragging a GT to be harder than most cars, since it makes no power down low.I would say launch harder, and make sure you are at redline ebfore shifting, prractice shifting as fast...

I enjoy having the auto headlights most of the time. Never having to worry about turning them on. I have an 04, and some of the kinks seem to be worked out, for example.I have to put my hand over the light sensor for at least 30 seconds before the headlights turn on, which means the don't go on unde...

those aren't suicide doors, those are sliding doors, minivan style.

For all the Vibes I see, particularly in Green Bay, we don't seem very well respresented here at GenVibe.

I think Mitsu's major problem is they don't sell appealing products.I mean, besides the EVO they whave nothing. The Eclipse is a joke, the Lancer is unexciting, there SUV is ugly, the Galant is awkward, etc etc. They just don't make cars people want to buy.Take a look at Nissan, 3 years ago they wer...

I got to Autocross the 3 and the 6 at Mazda Rev It Up (Chicago) and I was very impressed with the 3. Sadly, they were all automatics. The cool thing about the 3's "manumatic" is that it stays in the gear you put it in, no matter what. So if you are in first, you can bounce off the rev limi...

We must be talking some serious LED's because you can buy a little 5mm bulb for 49 cents...

My sunfire developed a crack that spread mildly, maybe 2 inches total. My insurance covered getting it repaired and didn't even make me pay a dime.

Bah, it looks nothing even close to the same. It looks more like the Titan and Aramada than anything else. And it should, since they are all Nissan products.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...79655I don't know if its legit or not, but the pictures looks pretty good. Anyone heard of this company?I'm sorry if this has been posted before.

That would be great! Either way (fit or no fit), would it be possible to take a picture?

I've searched the forum and the matrixowners forum and have found nothing. There is also some question as to what size the stereos in these cars are.My sunfire had a 1.5 din for sure. I put an aftermarket 1.5 din stereo in it and it fit perfect. Now the Vibe stereo is considerably bigger. So I know ...

Thanks for all the kind words!I noticed before that a few of you guys are former J-Body owners. Great little cars if you have the 2.4 Twin Cam engine. I havn't really let the Vibe loose (want to break it in gently) but I am going to assume it is quite a bit slower. Oh well, that's what money is for....

I'm in WI. My Vibe actually came from Janesville. I will be in Green Bay soon, for now though, I'm in the great North Woods *sigh*...

I just picked up my Vibe today!!Its Fusion Orange with 16 alloys, power package, a couple of nets, that carpet thing in the trunk, and I think thats it. (it's a manual)Anyway, my name is Kris Genthe (male), I'm 20 and this is my first new car purchase. My former ride was a 97 Sunfire GT (stick, purp...
