Hey Guys, For the last few weeks I've been hearing grinding and screaching coming from my front breaks. I thought it was the fqaarily new breaks I had installed not long ago so I bought new ones and when I went to replace them the pads were still new. So it isn't the breaks. What could it be? It sou...

Hi Fellow GenVibers, I haven't been on the board in a while. I got married had a kid and life just went crazy, also now expecting a second kid. :) I knew when my Vibe started having issues I could come back here and get solid advice. My beloved Salsa Red 2005 Vibe's tranny is slipping and I want to ...

That is by far the worst product description I have ever read. And I've read some really bad ones. That is just plain stupid and idiotic.

ProVibe

Not really sure about the ethics on this idea but I'll throw it out there.What if I find someone who lives in South Hadley, town near my home, and is willing, payed or otherwise, to let me use there address if it where my own. Then I would be able to notify the insurance that I moved and save over $...

Wrong thread!

If it is a run of bad luck it could not have come at a worst time in my life. I'm getting married in ten months and I'mt trying to save money. This really sucks.How can I get rid of my car without messing up my credit? I'd like to get a cheaper car. I have no idea what to do right now.

Quote, originally posted by Houston Â»That's an old wives' tale. I've had only red cars for many years and no tickets since 1971.As was said above, obey the driving laws and you have nothing to worry about.Then why no tickets before now?

ProVibe

Thanks for the input but other then the red light I am obeying traffic laws. I had not gotten a ticket in 6 years and then all of a sudden since I got this car I've gotten four in less then a year. I seriously think it has something to do with the fact that it's red. It's statistically proven to be ...

I have in the last year been found liable for three motor vehicle citations (speeding, red light, etc.). Each one of those bumping my insurance up by $344 thats a grand total of $1032. $1032 is not pocket change for me by any means. The main reason for such a high surcharge, other then Massachusetts...

Thanks guys, I'll definately check those things out.I made a mistake though. The miledge is almost 24K not 29k.

Hi guys,My '05 is running a little sluggish lately, other then a oil change what should I do to it. I was thinking of taking it in for a Tune Up but I've heard that new cars don't need tune ups, is this true?I've been a bit carely with my baby. I've only had the oil changed about three times. I've p...

My New Salsa Vibe (Monotone) is also my first brand new car. So I share the sentiments. Though I don't think the two tone looks better. But to each his own.

Well, I'm also glad to hear both of you made it out with slight injuries. You're right the descrition of the accidents sounds reallly bad.Where are the pics you promised. I want to see what a Vibe looks like after a head on collision with a semi.

Welcome to GV! I would have loved a GT but just out of my price range.

I had the exact same color car ('03) about amonth ago, just traded mine in for the 05 Salsa Vibe shown below.

Welcome to the Jungle!

ProVibe

WHOAH!That is crazy. I can only imagine what's going through your mind at that very moment. Thank God you are here to write about it. Sorry to hear about the Vibe but the most important thing is that you're ok. God Bless, and be safe.
