Audiovox XM Xpress, a car kit, and power

I recently acquired an Audiovox XPress XM radio. It came with a boombox for home use (cool!) and a car kit (cooler!). Installation was easy, except for the power issue. Currently I have the cigarette lighter adaptor powering the unit, but the car kit also came with this mysterious item: OK, ok, it's...

I haven't, I am consistantly getting 30 in the city and 35-ish on the highway. That said...I keep getting a strange film on the inside of my windshield. I have to wipe it with Windex about every two weeks. I run the A/C, sure, but not on defrost. It's weird. I don't smoke, and I brush my teeth, so i...

My one-month review is, in a word, Awesome. I'm getting 30-32 MPG city and got about 36 on the highway on a trip to St. Louis. I have an '06 and am not having the starting problem (but think about it every time I turn the key).I've done ArmorAll and wash it and am babying the thing, and am just enjo...

http://www.pontiac.com/current...ionalAt least in my neck of the woods, the offers for the 2006 Vibe say "As low as 0% APR for qualified buyers" but the caveat is "Length of contract limited. See dealer for details. Take delivery by 9/5/06."So that's a lot of ifs. Likewise, I str...

With the exception of public radio, FM radio doesn't play to my fuddyduddy over-40 age group, and I haven't worked out the bugs with my AM radio reception ...

I saw my first Fit on Sunday, and man is that puppy small. I also keep seeing those Dodge Calibers, too, and while they look nice, they're still Chryslers (sorry DaimlerChrysler, I never forgot what a dud my dad's '73 Duster was, sorry).

umbriago - 2006 Vibe base in a well-liked color

Yeah, NEPTUNE! I've been lurking here for the past few weeks, and I understand Neptune is the coolest color a Vibe can come in. What happened was this: A long-time admirer of the Matrix/Vibe.Honda Fit, also cool, if I didn't mind waiting until 2007. Buick gasping for air at 135,000 mines. What's tha...
