Thanks ajflan.I was surprised at how poorly it was welded together. Not even the tiniest amount of bead is on the cat, it all came off on the pipe. It's definitely still leaking where I put the clamp on.

sloth

Ok, I really don't know much about exhaust systems. This morning I started my car up and it sounded like a tank. I have a 2003 Vibe GT.Right after the cat, the weld broke to the pipe going to back to the muffler. From what I can tell is that is all part of the cat so I'd have to replace all of that ...

Took the money and ran. It really doesn't look that bad. The worst spots are the hood, and the very top of the hatch. It was a good thing to because I had a very slow month of business after I got the insurance.

Been a while since I've been on here. Just updating this thread. I could never get any good pictures. Anyway I filed a claim with progressive, which I was really impressed with. Filed a claim at 10am and had a check by 2pm.They estimated $3500 worth of damage. If I remember correctly 320 nickel size...

If the engine every craps out in my vibe, I think I'll do an EV conversion. At least I hope to, just depends on if I can afford it. Then again hopefully that toyota engine will last forever.

When we got Kylee, she had 2 horrible matts behind each ear. I finally got them out. Finally got them cut/brushed out.Anyway, if you have any matt issues with your pets DO NOT BUY the "Fur Pet's Sake DEMATTER" from walmart. It's even poorer quality than most things from china. About as sha...

I've seen mothballs work for a while too. Also some of the stay-off sprays for dogs/cats will work for a while as well.I'd call animal control. Should be easiest enough to catch. A couple live traps would work well. Good thing about live traps is, if they can't raise they're tail all the way up, the...

All cute, until they rip up your yard looking for grubs. They can destroy a yard in very little time.Also skunks, raccoons, and bats contract rabies more than any other animals.

sloth

I was going to try the dry ice, but I'm going to wait until we get a really hot day. I think the next time it gets hot I might get the garden hose out and hit the hood with it just to see if it will pop a few of them out.Once I get it washed and can see the dents better, I'll post a pic.

Congrats, and the best of luck.One more comedian.A bride thinks of 3 things on her wedding day.The isle she'll be walking down.The alter she'll stand at.Finally the hymn her family and friends will sing.Isle, Alter, HymnIsle, Alter, HymnIsle, Alter, HymnIsle, Alter, HymnI'll, Alter, Him

The other dog was a black lab mix. Her mother was a purebread, but it sounded like the dad was most likely some kind of cow dog mix. She looked like a lab, head and everything, but she was about 60% the size of a lab.She would be a good dog for someone that ranched or farmed and were outside a lot w...

As a bunch of you might recall, I lost my golden retriever a couple weeks ago. She was a wonderful dog....like all dogs (owners cause the issues with dogs), but old age caught up to her. My wife and I talked about what to do next, we decided neither one of us was ready for another dog. Well after 2 ...

After buying my Vibe in April of 2002, and then moving back to the panhandle of Nebraska (known as Hail Alley, kind of like tornado alley). The Hail finally caught up with me.Have quite a few dents on the hood, and the top/roof part of the hatch door. The roof only had a few dents on it. I haven't r...

Even a pressure sensor to trigger a camera would be nice. Then you could put an automatic led sign in your window. "Thanks for dooring me, #explicative, do not leave as I will report you for leaving the scene of an accident."

sloth

Thanks,Just cleaned out from under, not as bad as I thought it would be, but still pretty nasty after 6 years of accumulation.

sloth

How do you clean under the back seat. My back seat seems to be a magnet for just about everything. If you remove the front 2 bolts can you rotate the seat up to get under it, or is there some release that you can use to get under it.I just reached as far as I could under it and found my bluetooth he...

sloth

Have to say this is the first Vibe since the 03s that I've really liked. It looks awesome. I didn't like the grill changes in the 05-08. But this car in this color looks pretty sweet.

sloth

Good movie.I really like the new series of batman, as they have a believability factor to them no other comic book movie does.Heath Ledger did a good job. If he was alive there wouldn't be any Oscar talk associated with this role though.

It's a rodent, get rid of it so it's not bothering anybody else. Residential area, I'd get/borrow a nice air rifle to get rid of it.

I wish I could of spoiled her rotten, unfortunately she was feeling so bad she wouldn't even eat a piece of bacon. I brushed her and got a couple last tail wags out of her. She's dearly missed.

Well that bad news has been confirmed . Her kidneys are shutting down. She can only get worse from here. My wife doesn't want me to do anything until she gets home.

We took her to the vet the first time. We were on a weekend trip with the dog when she got sick and she had gotten into the trash at my in-laws so we assumed she ingested something that got her sick. That was the vet's thoughts as well. Gave her a shot to settle her stomach down a little and gave us...

Things aren't looking good for my Golden Retriever at the moment.About a month ago she got really sick and it lasted for about 5 days. Last night she got sick again. This time it seems to be worse. Got her in to the vet this morning and things aren't looking very good with initial exam. They took bl...

I would think you had some kind of winter damage, frost cracking the asphalt. Then this mushroom took advantage of the damage and made it worse.

In our small town, Wal-Mart has been the best thing to happen in 30 years. A few small stores closed down, but mostly because they didn't learn to adapt.And for the most part, nothing was offered in our town. Almost everybody traveled 100 miles to do most of their shopping. It's actually keeping a l...

sloth

I also used part of our tax return to buy a new TM driver. I dot the Burner Draw model. Registered mine too, so hopefully they follow suit and I get the drawing too

sloth

I wonder if she just had it attached to one of the tie downs. That's what it looked like. Talk about stupidity. The driver probably tried to clip the claws on the dog and ended up taking the whole leg.

sloth

It took over 2 weeks for my bulbs to come in and I had the dealership order them before the recall was official. I don't think GM had all the bolts they should of when they started the recall.

sloth

Update: Went on a trip this weekend. On the trip there I made almost 35mpg (34.95). On the way back my wife drove most of the way.....I think I'll be lucky to get 27mpg out of this tank. We did drive into the wind most of the way, but she just hammers it when she gets onto the highway. No such thing...

sloth

Finally got mine fixed today. After waiting 15 days for the dealership to get the bolts in. Had an oil change done as well. With the change, washing and recall I still had the car back in about an hour and a half.

sloth

Since you have the AWD, you can probably get by with the A/S. I have some Kumhos that do pretty well. I think they're the Fuzions. However I still switch to snow tires during the winter, but then again I don't have AWD.

sloth

With snow tires they are great. I use the blizzaks and they've worked great for 5 seasons now. We had snow on the ground this year from Thanksgiving to the end of February and didn't have any problems driving by the wreckers that were pulling people out of the ditch.

1964 Chevy Pickup. My brother and Dad restored it, then my dad bought it from my brother when he wanted something newer. My sister then totaled it. My dad and I restored it again. I drove it for 4 years and then we sold it. Still on the road. It had about 250,000 miles on it. I loved that straight 6.

I've had mine on since late 2002, on my 03 GT. Doesn't fit as snug as I'd like on the fenders, but has saved tons of elbow grease on getting those bugs off the front of my vehicle. I take it off a couple times a year when waxing the car and there isn't any rub spots from it.
