Just as a note... GM Vehicles are sold in a *ton* of countries internationally where DRLs are law (and it may be in the US too, but I'm not sure), which is why these things are just wired like that from the factory. Easier to make all the vehicles operate the same than different versions for differe...

So the stock stereo sucks. But we're cheap. Luckily for her, I have the speakers that came out of my Volvo when I upgraded to Focals. I've got two 6.5" speakers and two 4" speakers. I have no idea what size the Vibe speakers are. Crutchfield says 5.75 and 6.5" speakers fit with adapte...

she got like 80mi to the quarter tank. by comparison, i get like 80mi to the half tank. so that's pretty damn impressive. Even more so since I'm sure the Vibe's tank is smaller than the Volvo's 15gal.

Nice buy! Very lucky to find a low mileage '03. Doing the math, it's only about 7,000 miles a year. Someone drove it mighty lightly. Now about that color... where have I seen that combination before? Do all the normal engine fluid checks and changes, filters too, treat it nice and your Vibe will la...

Girlfriend and I went trolling around the dealerships locally to look at cars and get ideas about prices. Loved her old Volvo but it wasn't a properly maintained car before and after 20 years it was starting to show it's age and wear. 294k on the odometer which was broken when she bought it two year...

FWIW vehicle manufacturers figure tire pressures based on vehicle weight, in order to keep the tread completely in contact with the road. When you overinflate, the outside edges of the tire don't carry as much load, and you effectively reduce your overall traction and increase tread wear in the cent...

If you're still looking, it may be worth looking at local auto parts stores. I know we carry GM-style lugnuts at my work (the ones with exterior threads) in various sizes for like $1.50/ea. Not the cheapest option but you'll know you'll be getting clean, new lugnuts with straight threads.

I don't have AAA but I do have roadside assistance through my insurance (Farmers). I know AAA limits your roadside assistance but I have unlimited on my insurance which is nice, because I traditionally drive old european scrapheaps, so having that coverage is good. Honestly I don't know how much a m...

Well, my girlfriend did. She bought a 2003 Vibe. only 70k on the clock, 1ZZ, real nice shape. https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/993775_10151636332797180_532890829_n.jpg Neat little car, I dig it. Pretty much joined up here since I know enthusiasts tend to have a pretty good idea...

Title says it all. Looking for a door lock keyhole trim (the plastic bit) and the cover that goes over the shift lock override. Both for a 2003. I understand some people may be reluctant to deal with a new member but if anybody wants to see it, here's my buyer/seller feedback thread from another for...
