"Come on, folks, there are some things with which we need only be careful and not careless."That line is, in fact, very condescending. It's as if you think that those of us who have chosen to use a different product are small, dull children. I really hope you (removed) the edge of your bum...

You always hit the end of the bumper, not the inside. Mine (the silver one) has saved my bumper numerous times already.

Just got our $297 power bill. $221 was gas... Looks like I'm splitting some wood next week...There should be NO reason for natural gas prices to be so high. Our local power company raised prices 48% last month. My bill went up 100% over the same time last year. Same therms used (within 10)...Maybe i...

I see you have some Super Weight Gain 4000....BEEFCAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So the shifter in the GT was notchy, sticky and just plain pissing me off. I did a search and found a thread from 03 about pulling off the shift boot and lubing the linkage.Well, I used some light grease and some Phil Wood Tenacious Oil (bicycle stuff) on all of the parts that I could see that moved...

Always wait for the cops...It makes the claims process way easier for everyone, incldung the adjuster.

Together and in the back. The air coming over the windshield is already dirtied when it hits the rack and continues to get muddled as it travels over the car. The crossbars will be in cleaner air if pushed to the front than in the back...

Go to the Art Museum. Run up the steps...Rocky...South Street is always cool. It has scores of cool clubs, restaurants and shops. It's within walking distance of the river too.Check the schedule for The Palestra. Philly college teams use it for basketball games. It's about the size of a high school ...

Nope...Mine just shuts down at about 6000rpm...I need three bars on the temp gauge to get it to hit lift...

Dude, does your Grandma know you are looking at her car? I'm 35, juvenile and immature at best, and love my Vibe. 26 year old guys should be driving cool cars, not a flipping Mercury Sable...(screwy)

merckx56

I feel for the folks who are losing their jobs, but damn, do you guys not understand that the union is the one that is strangling the life out of the American auto industry.I just watched a thing on MSNBC about the GM plant closings. GM has 1 active worker for every 2.5 pensioners!! GM is paying idl...

I'm guessing this is for base cars only...

Xa & Xb- 1.5 liter 16v VVT-i motor = 108hp/105 torqueTc- 2.4 16v VVT-i =160hp/163 torque (Camry motor)

merckx56

*********! TC wheels fit the Vibe GT just fine. I have had no problems since I got mine installed. The stock lugs worked as well...They are 5x100 lug pattern.

My mother has an Equinox. It's a great vehicle if you just want a small SUV. Power is okay and the handling isn't bad, but there really isn't anything special about it.The front seats are board flat (read-no lateral support), the driving position is way too straight up and down and it feels like you...

merckx56

The white plastic thing definitely has something to do with smoothing the airflow into the intake. I just went and did some tests without it and the car seemed to stumble a bit on the 1/2 shift when jumping back in the throttle. I'm putting it back in...

Must....resist...selling....Vibe....The wife wants a Solstice BAD...maybe I could talk her into this iteration.....I can see my car insurance going way up with that in the driveway. I should probably just get my DL and registration info etched into the driver side window glass...save the PO PO some ...

merckx56

I'm guessing GTs don't have this piece. I just removed the snake of an intake tube from my car. I looked in the airbox for what is pictured and didn't have that exact thing. There was a markedly different piece in there that popped right out.Without the two, it "feels" like there is a bit ...

merckx56

Matrix one fits perfectly, see other post...

merckx56

You mean like this...

merckx56

Yeah, my shifting is really notchy and just way harder than a Toyo transmission should be...Next oil change, it's getting the tranny done too! I only have 10K miles on my car too!

merckx56

Zero Problems here....

merckx56

The car itself looks ricey. The side skirts on the Vibe just aren't my taste. Throw in the midgate spoiler and the wing on top and it pushes it over the edge.Our cars are borderline rice anyway, those things just toe it past the line.Lowered with cool rims is fine though, consdiering I'm sitting on ...

I know there cheesy and ugly...That car is a bit too ricey for my tastes!

I put Hankook K106s on my new wheels and they seem to be really nice tires. Good in wet and dry and cheap from Discount Tire. $86 each I believe.

merckx56

The hubs on my 04 GT have surface rust on them. It's visible through the wheels and quite annoying. Anyone else have the problem? I was thinking about getting caliper paint (silver) and fixing the problem...oh, and I know to how to prep and paint...

merckx56

Go drive a GTI at a VW dealer and you'll sit in good seats...They just suck for lateral support. Overall, the cushioning is okay but JC, this little car begs to be driven in a spirited fashion thru twisty roads. The seat isn't holding up it's end of the bargain...! The seat in my wife's POS Vebture ...

merckx56

No lateral support, waaaay too soft, etc, etc....What is a viable alternative w/o spending a poopload? Do the seats out of a Celica fit the mounting points??God I hate my seats...that's my only ***** about the car!!!

merckx56

$0 a month for 0 months...CASH baby CASH!

merckx56

Okay, question answered...I would just worry about light escaping around the edges...of course I get up to check if my car is locked a few times a night...OCD is a *****...

merckx56

CP, is the fit really that poor on those things? It seems to have a huge gap on one side...Everyone seems to love them but every photo on here show fit issues...Not trolling, just curious...

merckx56

You must remeber too, that EPA tests are done at constants speed, inside a building, on a dyno!! They do not take into consideration the real world driving habits that are either by choice (wot all the time...) or forced upon drivers (stop and go traffic).Consumer Reports just did a story and found ...

Kinda reminds me of the old one...Define mixed emotions---Watching your ex-wife back over a cliff in your new Ferrari!!

You don't necessarily need to HIRE a lawyer, just get one to write a letter summing up everything that has happened since your initial injury. A well worded letter that includes the threat of litigation and a jury trial will make most employers snap to. Especially if you have documentation of everyt...
