I have been wanting a Tesla Model S plaid for many years, and my intention was to hold onto the Pontiac for another 2 years or so and then get the Tesla. Elon's decision to cut the Model S (and ...

Re: FS 2009 Vibe FWD 95k miles $4,500 near Chicago

Sold! And so I must say farewell to my beloved Pontiac and to this distinguished group. I really feel that the Vibe was an unheralded diamond in the rough. I bought her new in 2009 for $15k. She was not a looker, but offered so much. She had a tiny 1.8L engine, and yet from 0-30mph she was surprisin...

Well played! If, by some (Oliver) twist, you could have worked Chuzzlewit into that post, I would have been utterly astonished!

Epic Fail head unit install

Greetings Vibe community. I am the original owner of a 2009 Vibe base model 1.8L auto trans. Back in 2018 the radio got wonky so I replaced it with a Kenwood Excelon DPX793BH. I recently got the urge to upgrade that to get Android Auto and a backup camera. So, I bought (from Crutchfield) a beautiful...

CharlesDickens - 2009 1.8L FWD auto trans

Hello. I am the original owner of this vehicle. It used to be an inside cat, I mean car, but for the last 6 years has been outside. I don't drive too much - it has 92k miles. My wife is not fond of it (cheap econo-box), but I am. Sure it only has 132hp and 128 ft lbs torque, and a cheap interior. Ho...
