Ok, somewhere out there I think someone really screwed up. LOL. I was comparing manuals today, Impala and Vibe. The Impala states a maximum 1000lb towing capacity, but that is sometimes too much depending on weight dist. The Vibe manual states 1500lb towing cap. Um, whats wrong with this picture. I ...

robodoc

Ah, don't fret Colonel, Linux, your Vibe.....you can't win them all!! LOL

robodoc

Riley? Cute. Sorry, I like it. Ok, bbq sauce, huh? Never heard of that before. They were just jealous, that's all. Not everyone can be a Vibe lover. I would give it a rinse though, not sure the acidict content of bbq sauce but you don't want that eating through. Riley...

robodoc

Wow, sounds to me like a hole or flaw that I am sure someone can turn into a virus. Better keep that one to yourself.

robodoc

Yes, this is sooo true. It's the people that make the site, not the car. But if it weren't for the car I never would have met any of you. The Vibe will always hold a special place in my heart. BTW, have you been reading my rantings about custom tail lights? I think I have officially lost it!!!

robodoc

I was reading their site and it mentions that they use robotic automation in the press shop. Did a quick search of our customer database on line but didn't find them listed. So either our system sucks(BaaN...it does suck) or they use the 'other guys' robots. We will succeed one way or another. Muhah...

robodoc

Can I reply to myself, is that allowed in the forum?? Ok, here's the scoop.....Stanley Co. Automotive Lighting, Battle Creek MI. They list in the awards section as being past GM Supplier of the year(we had that too, haha) and Toyota Performance award. I think we found it. Now all we need is an insid...

robodoc

Ok folks, please bear with me, I have been working 12hr midnights for a week doing production support, which has to be the all time most boringist job in the world. I seem to remember company names being stamped or molded into most parts that are made. So, I went and did some parking lot research. T...

robodoc

No scathing posts!! That just isn't nice. I may be right behind you Colonel as my Vibe may turn into a Trailblazer. Do you think anyone will notice if I get the same color and just say that my Vibe fell into some steroid juice? Or maybe that it took some Vibe-tamins?? Oh bad humor, so very bad humor...

robodoc

All right folks, time to take this to a new level. Now this plan will take some work, a lot of inside help, and probably a huge reward for someone in the end. Here's the plan. Our tail lights are one piece molds. The machines that make them have injectors that bring in the plastic pellets in the var...

robodoc

No apologies necessary. This is how you make any big decision in life, you ask a couple thousand of your closest friends on the internet what their opinions are. Maybe I will be making it to the Super Vibe meet in Fenton after all, when I am turning in my Vibe and picking up my new Trailblazer.

robodoc

Yeah, mine is an '02 and it is so better than the Vibe on mileage. Actually considered(shhh!) trading the Vibe for the Trailblazer and keeping the Impala. The Impala is almost paid off, the Vibe is not. Bought the Vibe for work for the mileage factor, 36mgp(sticker) and $.40/mile = cash in the pocke...

robodoc

Soldierguy: Thanks for the help, it helps confirm that the Trailblazer is the way I am going to have to go.Kari: Thanks for the words of confidence. I haven't heard many good things about the truck, so I am glad someone is having good experiences with it.

robodoc

Ok, here are some more specs. The camper is just a pop up, maybe 1400lbs total when loaded. The reason I mentioned the Trailblazer is the third row seats. Need the extra room, but NO MINIVAN!! The GM discount is a big motivator since I want to keep my payments down. Gas mileage is a consideration as...

robodoc

Problem: Found that the Impala won't pull the camper. Oops. Solution: Need something that will and still be family oriented.Specifics: Can't be minivan.So I am looking at Trailblazer XL or something like that. Would like GM since I get the discount(hell everyone gets the discount). I have always own...

Ok, here it goes:70% Ewok97% Admiral Ackbar70% Luke Skywalker90% Obi-Wan7% Princess Leia???? What is that all about....Leia??

robodoc

Ya know, that brings up an interesting question. I used to work at a place where we made dashboards for boats. I have some locking glove box latches somewhere that were sent in as samples. I should find them and see if any of them fit the Vibe latch. I will let you know what I come up with.

robodoc

I will take the floor mats, I could use them for work mats when I am in the plants. My boots get pretty messy and I have towels down on mine right now. You coming to the MI meet? You can bring them if you are and I can get them then, or we can arrange shipping. Let me know.

robodoc

That's great. They need some of that around here since there are no 2 tracks or muddy roads at the malls where the yuppies who drive the hummers go.

robodoc

The Impala is a 2002. I know when I did my truck, the passlock bypass module was about $50, and I think that was for Passlock II. I am not sure what the Impala has on it as far as Passlock generation.

robodoc

When I bought my GTP, prior to my Vibe, I started at the employee pricing(GMS price) then worked down from there with rebates and other incentives. So it would seem that the GMS pricing did not include the rebates.

robodoc

Wow, that is awful. Glad to hear you are ok. When they total it, before they haul it off, if you have access to it, be sure to scavange parts that people on here are looking for. Like the crossbars, center consol with cig adapter if it has one. Radio. Things like that. I always try to scavange befor...

robodoc

I am still waiting for someone to come out with some. I would really like some all clear, I think that looks great on any dark blue car.

robodoc

How much do you want for them? I am looking for a set too.

robodoc

I spent 3 months in Canada earlier this year, and I know for a fact that the Bud is better there than here. I can't stand Bud here, but there is was very tolerable. But it didn't beat Keith's or Kilkenny's. The the Warsteiner at the Concordia Club is always a good choice.

robodoc

Can't hear the rattles over the music. Actually drove with the radio off for a bit today and still didn't hear any rattles. Haven't noticed any major paint issues. No paint thus far has been able to stand up to the barrage of stone on I75, so a front end full of chips is normal to me. I have had min...

robodoc

Welcome to the club. The only thing I use my OD switch for is to drop down a gear to slow me down to the speed limit so the nice officer doesn't see my brake lights.

robodoc

Ah, you just gotta love those pink robots. Yes, it is true, the video coloring was not skew'd, the robots were pink. Hyundai worked out something pretty special with the parent company and managed to order all of their robots pink. You might not think of that as a big deal, but it really takes an ac...

I got 30 again this last fill up, 30.48 to be exact. I filled up at 321 miles and put in 10.535 gallons. I usually go 2 clicks past the first when I want consistant reading to test by, or to the nearest dollar all other times. Still I am not seeing much over 30mpg. I didn't think my foot was that he...

robodoc

Bought mine new/used. Basically that means it was a dealer demo with $5k miles on it. Used because it was and they knocked the price down on it pretty good. New because they extended my warranty and gave me some 'extras' for having GMS. It was kind of the best of both worlds. If you want GMS(GM empl...

robodoc

Now that is what I was waiting for. Does it come filled?

robodoc

Yes, I know that. The fact that I am driving a Toyota with a Pontiac badge was the humor in that comment.

robodoc

Yeah, buy the bra. I need the bra. Anyone got a link to where I can get a bra, besides the Secret .

Chrysler Kokomo wasn't all that much to rave about the last time I was there. LOL. They are just trying to get their employees to by Chrysler vehicles because most of them drive others.

Poutine is just awesome. I sometimes ask for it locally just to mess with the drive through people. Just got back from a 3 month job in Kitchener and had all the poutine I could handle.

I have never seen anyone get fired for driving a competitors car, but I have been told I had to park in a special section for foreign cars at a Ford plant once when I had my old Toyota. Apparently the last guy who didn't park in the 'foreign car parking' area was buffing key scratches out of his car...

robodoc

Ok ok, I had absolutely no plans on doing any mods, just found this site my search to find some idea for running my XM antenna wire. Now you all have me hooked. Damn it, damn it anyway. So, um, where do I get some flames and yellow and cool overlays from?

I have hardly been able to get above 30 on mine. '05 Base model with autumatic trans. I bought in Nov.'04 and never really gave it much thought because it was better than my previous GTP. Then lately I got a little curious and dug out my old spreadsheet(you just gotta love engineers). I will leave o...

Hi, I am fairly new to the forum. I found it by randomly searching for Vibe stuff on the internet. I bought my car at Joe's(Joseph Pontiac in Fenton) but they never mentioned anything about a Vibe rally. Is there any interest or has anyone ever investigated whether the dealer would be willing to pro...

I looked at the connector to try to see if it was a standard AMP or someother that I would be able to order, but there were no markings on it at all. I would hate to buy the 12 volt socket just to get the connector off of it. I know I could just use taps or just cut the wires, but being an engineer,...

robodoc

I did pull my center console out and the wiring is still in place for the 12v recept. I am going to add a plug I picked up at Auto Zone to this hole, but am going to wire it back to the main block to have constant power, that way my phones will charge while the car is off(I hate having the power shu...

Are those blue hoses in the pic drain tubes for the moon roof surround? I was looking at my opening trying to figure out if it was possible to leave the roof tilted in the rain and not get flooded. Anyone have any experience with open moon roof and rain??
