I went to Tom's on 22&Gratiot. They did a good job. They were not very friendly and they didn't wipe the residue off my doors afterward, but I've had the tint for a couple years now and it has held up well.

Why don't you change your oil in the walmart parking lot? If you went in and bought something first, you'd technically be a customer. If you pulled around the side of the building, I wonder how many times you could do it before they told you to stop. Probably a few. Or what about those car-pool lots...

fire_502

I had mine done at Toms on 22 and Gratiot. Not too impressed. There are a couple messed up spots and everyone there was really rude.

fire_502

Hmm...that sucks. Apparently the government is charging $7 to request your own driving record. I wonder if they would just tell you what's on it if you stopped by the police station. http://www.michigan.gov/sos/0%....html

I had the silver flake off the radio bezel near the volume knob after a couple months. The dealer replaced it under warranty no questions asked.

We have Citizens. When I got the Vibe, they told me to stay on my dad's policy so we could get the multiple-car discount. I'm not convinced it's a discount. My sister was supposed to be looking into other companies, but I think she dropped the ball. How long do insurance companies keep tickets on yo...

fire_502

I pay just under 1400 and I'm 24 with probably only 1 speeding ticket still left on the record, but my mom told me yesterday that it just went up. I'm not sure how much yet.

fire_502

Since so many people are driving so far and there are several opinions on what to do, why not make it a 2 day event? We could do the dealership thing one day, then anyone that's interested could meet up at a park the next day. Just a thougt.

What length and diameter bolt did you use?

I got my new BF Goodrich Traction T/As yesterday. I also got to test them on the ice this morning and I LOVE THEM! Thanks Rob

I have never been to a Red Wings game, but my friend ended up with two free tickets to the game against the Avalanche on Valentines day. I guess they are pretty sweet seats too. For once I was actually glad I had no other plans that day.

fire_502

Your dealer might just give you some. Discount Tire ripped off one of my flaps (and left it just hanging by one screw thinking I wouldn't notice it !!!). They had broken the plastic christmas-tree and lost one of the screws. Long story short, the dealer just gave me a new plastic piece and a few ext...

I've been averaging 28 since I started keeping track last July. I figured it out the other day by month, to see if it got worse with the weather (and the fact that my tires suck and my alignment is off - all to be fixed on tuesday), but it is still ~28 for each month separately.

Ok, apparantly alcohol isn't the right drug to be on when you go to that site. I'm confused.

fire_502

that thing is really picky. It gave me errors like 4 times. Make sure you crop it and have it oriented correctly before you submit it. When I got it to work, it wouldn't show my "n"s. Oh well. It's pretty cool though.

What does your fan sound like? Mine has been doing this weird thing where when I turn it from OFF to LOW it makes this weird sputtering noise that I can only describe as similar to ET's voice. I'm really bad at describing weird noises my car makes. Anyway, the noise gets louder and faster when I acc...

I don't have anywhere near 20, but I got 2 in one day a few months ago. I even already had my hood deflector, and I still got them. One was pretty big and grew to the size of my fingernail in the 8 hours I was at work, so I got it patched that day. The other one was on my way home from the patching ...

I had braces for 5 years. I got them on in 7th grade and they didn't take them off until a week before I went to college and they made my mom sign something saying that we chose to end the treatment. I refused to go to college with braces. I think I was a victim of full insurance coverage. We had to...

That's weird. I lost a pen cap about a month ago. I have no idea where it rolled. You'd think gum would stick to something on the way down though. Good luck.

Yes, Tech is in the UP. It's at the top of the UP. It takes about 9-10 hours to get there from here. Tech has a great reputation as an engineering school, but they have been doing a lot to round out the programs offered lately to be able to compete with other schools in the state. No, I never saw an...

I'm a real engineer in the auto intustry and I went to Michigan Tech. I know a lot has changed in the last year or two because of all the funding cuts, but that's happening pretty much everywhere.

So I just got home from the car wash...at 3:45am. I went out with a bunch of people from work tonight and a girl in my group had a little too much and puked on my car. At least she got the window down and didn't puke IN the car...but the outside was pretty nasty. I feel bad that she got sick, but wh...

Screw anonymous, I want to know who is making over 100k and drives a Vibe!

fire_502

That's insane.I checked out a few H2s today, but none like that. I got to see an H3 today too. I agree that they are completely unnecessary for the average person, but it'll be a fun car to work on for the next few years.

fire_502

Jeez, there are a million for Auburn Hills! I pretty much know all of those though. It would be cool if they also had an option to search by road, rather than just city. A lot of the M59 and M53 cops tend to be in SUVs, so even when they hide behind bridge walls, you can still see their light sticki...

fire_502

Hmm..a note from a doctor should be good. My dad has a prescription from his dermatalogist because he had skin cancer before, so he's got 20 all the way around on his red stratus. Yeah, he's pimpin'. Anyway, I think you're golden if you've got a doctor's permission.

fire_502

When I got mine done, the guy told me that it is illegal to have any tint on the front driver and passenger windows. I got 23 on the back and 35 on the front. The difference isn't that noticable, so it doesn't look dumb and so far I have not had any issues with the law (knock on wood).

fire_502

I love matchbox 20. I'd have to say that Mad Season is my favorite and the latest one is my least favorite. Maybe I just have not given it enough of a chance, but it just didn't grab me like their previous releases. Some other suggestions: Maroon 5 (previously Kara's Flowers), Three Doors Down, Jack...

fire_502

Cool. I heard that they are getting rid of one building and jamming whoever didn't get laid off into one building. Sucks to be them! Good thing you got out of there.

fire_502

I think those are so tacky! I have never seen any around here, but last time I went out to kalamazoo, it seemed like everyone had them.

fire_502

Cool. We probably know a lot of the same people. Safety is a small field from what I hear. What did you do at TRW?

fire_502

Awesome. Congratulations! I can't wait to move out of my parents house. I'm thinking about another year or so and I'll be able to afford something.

fire_502

I wondered who did the bags for the Vibe. From the pic, I guess it was TRW. Does anyone know if they did all the systems, meaning bags and belts? Just curious.

Well, D&D are the last people that should be talking about girly cars being just the other day they were asking for opinions on how bad the winter is going to be because neither of them trust their current cars in lots of snow.

I have power windows. They shake whether they are open a half inch or almost all the way. I used to be careful and not open them when I was going really fast or it was really windy, but I stopped being careful now. I'd rather they break under warranty rather than last until just after.

fire_502

I'm not sure about the Vibe because I have not had a reason to take my headliner down, but typically headliners are held up to the sheet metal by coat hooks, sun visors, grab handles, and a few random magnets and/or velcro. Pretty easy to get down but really hard to get up without a second set of ha...

I've been having issues with my windows since I got the car. Both front windows seem to shake a lot more than any other windows I've seen on any other cars when they are opened even a small crack. Sometimes if they have been wet, they will clunk once or twice when I put them up or down, but mostly i...

We could see them really well in October/November when I was up at school in the U.P. It was always like 2am when they were the best. I unfortunately never got to seem them reddish or purplish, but I saw them greenish and dancing a lot. I really miss that.
