BTW, I just filled up for the first time on the hypermilling routine. 36 MPG out of the Vibe GT. http://blogs.kitsapsun.com/kit....html

Way to find it, lol. It's been an interesting process so far. I'm just about half done with my first tank- probably more like 60-65 percent, I'm guessing, and I'm over 250 miles. Driving like a granny can definitely help with your MPGs in the Vibe GT. Just DON'T hit lift, lol.

Yes, I absolutely wanted ABS (it's wet almost all the time here in the Northwest.) Anyway, here's an anecdote about why I'm glad I got them. It was the first big rain on the fall, and for whatever reason people always forget to slow down. A freeway interchange is a sharp right, blind, downhill curve...

Nope, doesn't make the sound when I'm parked and in neutral. Only when in gear and moving. It's definitely not a chirp, chirp sound, either. I'll check out those bolts as soon as I can.

I got the Vibe because a kid pulled in front of me and totaled my previous car. I've been advised against filing an insu...

Wow, 232K on an 04. I just bought a used 04 with 41k. I've got some serious catching up to do.

Thanks everybody. I'll probably head to the local junk yards this weekend, but you never know what people have kicking around.

On Monday I joined the Vibe club when I bought an 04 Vibe GT. It's the most fun I've had driving in a long, long time. My previous two cars were an 87 Subaru wagon with about 75 horsies, and a 90 Chrysler New Yorker (It was free, OK?) that handled like an aircraft carrier. Anyways, I'm loving the ca...
