Re: Power window help.

Can we change this thread to "I'm a big cotton headed ninny muggins!" Window lock button? Can't see the forest for the trees. Would have bit me if it were a snake.

I'm debating giving away all my tools and my man card after that one.

Re: Power window help.

Are you that computer tech guy that asked me if I had my computer plugged in? I told you I plugged it into my new power strip! http://hifi.nt.rs/images/Siltech/siltech%20proizvodi/SILTECH%20Octopus%208.jpg While I hope that is the case, I'll be checking into the retirement home when I left my pants ...

Power window help.

Ok, the other day I had some snow on my windows. I decided to roll them down to remove the snow. I hit all of the briefly, but realized there were enough ice frozen on the car to keep the windows shut. Now the only window that responds to any of the buttons is the driver's window. The other 3 are DO...

I think it was my 8th Christmas. Dad bought me and my brothers one of these pinball machines. 29 years later we still have it in full working condition. (This picture is not actually our machine.)

I've put 3 full tanks through my vibe (09 base w/manual). I was happy with the results. First tank was 27.8, second tank 28.4, 3rd tank was 31.1. All of those tanks have been roughly the same 75% city driving. My highway runs are usually less than 5 or 6 miles at a time. I did have a couple 80 mile ...

Re: (journeyforce)

There is probably a good inch between the bumper and the rack. With nothing loaded up the top of the rack doesn't move an inch in any direction. Once the glider is tied down, for all intent and purpose, the roof rack is connected to the front rack. Any movement of the front rack means I have more to...

Racked my Vibe

Racked, not wrecked. Hope no one was expecting gruesome pictures of CARnage Being a hang glider pilot I regularly carry a 17' package on top of my car. Since I bought a new car, I had to get it racked up for the up and coming flying season.As always the first issue is how to attach the rack to the c...

Like canker said. If the timing chain is broken your car doesn't run. If your car is running the chain is not broken. If that be the case, I would strongly urge you to find another shop.

Re: (MrHatchWagon)

I've sworn off black cars. I've never had much luck keeping them clean and looking good. Every little spec and every little ding shows up. I also thought I preferred long legged brunettes. I currently own a Jet Black Vibe, and a black Equinox that my 5'4" blonde wife drives. Go figure.

Re:

It is a Base model, FWD. If racks didn't come factory, then the dealer must have put it on. I have the original window sticker that lists the roof rack. The worn mat and the sub par sound I can deal with until I find time/money to change it out. I had to de-stink it as it smelled like a wet dog. Had...

Here is a picture I took "hanging out" over Florida. Just a few miles out from Disney World. The bloke you see there is actually my dad, so you can see where I get it from.

Re: Another member joins. (chassan)

I'll get some more pics after the dealer details tomorrow. I just hope they do a better job than they did when I drove it off the lot. I've not signed off on the "We Owe" yet so I'll keep taking it back as long as it takes to get a decent detail.

Hi, I've been lurking here for a couple weeks. Thanks to this forum, and my need for a new hangglider transporter, I recently pick myself up a 2009 vibe. Mettalic black, 5speed, power locks and windows and what not. The stereo doesn't impress me, the dash squeeks, the driver side floor mat is toast....
