From my understanding when I got into a fender bender, if the frame was bent or damaged in an accident nine times out of ten, they will consider the car totaled as the structural integrity of the car's frame has been compromised. Or if the cost of repair > the appraised value of said car.

I think that too much emphasis is put on hybrids, there are far better choices out there than a hybrid. Hydrogen and Bio Diesel are very good alternatives as well.....why all the hype on hybrids?

Katscan

I love my lil Moonestone Dragon! Shes the best! Though, hehe I am looking at those new 2009 vibes.....they look nummy!

Katscan

What I find funny about hybrids is that they are not as echo friendly as they claim to be. Yes they use less gas....in a city environment, but thats about the only place you really get the use out of a hybrid. The electric motor only works at low speeds If you truely want to help the environment, ge...

Hehe well Im still in Japan and my home of record is Maryland....so blah But I will wait and see if I can get it re-registered in NE...though I get a feeling it will be a stretch.

HEY PEPS!! wow, longtime no see. How I miss this place sooo much. Got back from the big sandbox and was able to dust off my poor lil Moonstonedragon and take her out for a ride....though she needs new plates as the Nebraska tags are expired and the car is sitting in MD......really dont want to pay s...

Those signs cant be cheap....lol, its not like some shmuck would build one just for the heck of it.... Someone is either lying or the kid could have come from a different area perhaps? My guess is that someone might be lying, if it was a stolen sign, one of them should have reported it missing or wo...

Sooo right now Im out playing in the sandbox and I realized.....when I thought of the desert, I thought of sand...and lots of it....but this ISNT SAND! We all like to call it moondust as I am surrounded by this very fine powder that gets into EVERYTHING!! Anyhoo, its been a year since I last drove m...

Katscan

Outside, that car looks sweet! I like the Styling of that one and the SRT-4 Calibur......just the inside of the car is what kills it for me

Something tells me he has a bug up his patoot. I didnt get past the first 2 paragraphs to get the idea he;1. Hated Front wheel drive cars2. Disliked GMHe also thought to compare the Vibe to the Aztec.....yes he needs to be shot for this. Everything about his review spews utter dislike for the Vibe a...

Katscan

No Vibes or Volts spotted here Though I think a local Toyota Dealer has a supped up Matrix with a hoodscoop and all sorts of other nifty stuff....I want to drive up and take a pic but afraid of getting yelled at.....

Katscan

I blanked mine out because I thought it was a good idea, no need to make it easy for people who would use such knowledge for malicious purposes. Same reason I lock my doors when I drive, better be safe than sorry.That and I rather not get caught up in someones insurance scam by making such knowledge...

Katscan

Gah, you all might not realize how much I miss my Vibe but I do.....3 years without my Vibe is gonna be tough....lol But I do know she is in good hands. Lol I most definantly going to drive her when I go home on leave.......

Katscan

Wow, what can I say. Well first of all I SOOOOOOOOOO miss my Vibe I miss babying the crap out of it....ok yea so I have issues BUT! I digress...back on topic.Driving in Japan is something different indeed. The Japanese as a whole are very curtious individuals.....when they are NOT in their car...on ...

When I was getting my new car I went to the Pontiac site a half a trillion times building my dream Vibe. I wanted a Base Vibe, Moonestone color, AT, Auto everything, Moon n tunes package and alloy wheels. So one day I decided to go and test drive a vibe to get a better feel for it and guess what the...

Quote, originally posted by vibebuilder Â»You sure that wasn't a Toyota Voltz?There aren't too many of them.Good luck in Japan.Just bow alot and say "Hai" Well the front end looked like a Vibe.

Katscan

I honestly dont know what its for, though I have a feeling its for when you park near the curb as its field of view is aimed mostly toward the ground next to the front fender.

Katscan

Im not sure where to look man But here are a few pics of my current ride.And a just a pic of some of the scenery, will try to get more when the weather cooperates.The Elephant Cage

Katscan

Ive eaten at the Cheese Roll and everything was awsome! Also been to Vikings,...

Katscan

Wow, what a trip this has been so far! I arrived safely at Misawa Japan on the 7th of March and been spending my time trying to get a car, a place to live and inprocessing into the base. So far things are pretty cool out here, its a little cold but nothing too bad. I now own a little Mitsubishi Paje...

Katscan

Heres a pic of the ding....its right above and infront of the side badge....they even managed to scrape a section of the decal off the badge.

Katscan

Well the problem I have is that someone called in and warned them about water intoxication and they all laughed and made fun of her.....whose laughing now?She was complaining of having a headache and feeling lightheaded on the show, to me they should have taken her to the hospital, esp after another...

Katscan

Katscan

As much as I want to make this meet, unfortunatly I am leaving Nebraska on the 14th of Feb and heading home for a few weeks before heading to Japan.

Katscan

SilverStars on both Headlamps and Fogs. Only had one lamp burn out on me after 14 months, the other 3 are still goin strong.

Katscan

I cant remeber where I saw it but Ive heard rumors that Hybrid vehicles are actually worse for the environment than a regular gasoline engine.

Katscan

Dangit, lol I found this thread a lil too late. I need to show some of you up on those sigs!

Katscan

I have an interesting problem, either I am imagining things or there is something wrong with my engine. Have any of you taken a hit on your gas milage during the winter? I have been noticing that my mpg is significantly less all of a sudden. Usually by the time I have a quarter tank left I have driv...

Well when the weather clears up Im gonna go get that taken care of. And just to make sure, you remove the positive 1st and when putting it back together the positive goes on last.....is this correct?

Im 5'10" and 175lbs and I drove on several long trips. 2 8Hr trips and another that was 4 hours and I thought the ride was rather fine and the seat comfortable. I would pass this off that some people like certain aspects on how a seat fits. We each have our quirks.

Katscan

The other day I had to change my driver side headlamp and thus I had to remove the battery. My question is, when I removed the positive terminal there was all this white powdery crap all around it. Is this something I should be concerned about? What the heck is it!?

Katscan

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Katscan

I say test drive it yourself and form your own opinion.As for my opinion, I would not buy a Caliber. I drove one for a full week when I went on a buisness trip. First of all the inside feels very, very, very cheap and full of cheap plastic, its everywhere. Im suprised the seats arent plastic as well...
