Sorry to hear about your rotten luck. Because of people like that, I now drive this:The irony is, three days after I bought it, it too was keyed.

That's awesome! Good luck at your new position! I know that everyone's situation is different, but my best friends from college I met in food service. In fact there are only a couple of people I met while going to school that I am still in touch with that didn't work with me. Just make sure to keep ...

Quote, originally posted by Nervous_Dog Â»I understand completely. I'm not knocking your saving plan. I would never take on car payments that I couldn't comfortably afford either. You're going about it the smart way and I'm all about that. I got one heck of a deal and I just like to tease people som...

VERY cool. I wanted to take some shots last weekend when we had a good strong storm, but low and behold my batteries were dead. I will make sure my digicam is charged for the next one though.Thanks for sharing.

Quote, originally posted by Nervous_Dog Â»I used to dream about the GTO. I don't anymore since now I get to drive one everyday AND it cost me less then $50 a week.

Everybody has their dreams. I like cars but hate payments. The only way to lower them is to put down a payment of reasonable size. Thus the saving. After all $50 a week is very little money as it goes, but $7500 is alot to come with at the drop of the hat. If you think that is bad you should see wha...

I share the dream of a GTO! In about three years I am going to try and get one. Between now and then I am saving $50 a week to the cause. That wiil be about $7500 down. I can't wait!

As others have stated, the tibby has a solid aftermarket if modding is your thing. The V6 powerplant isn't the most powerfull in the sea of cars out there, but it scoots pretty well even in stock form. I personally _love_ the new body style. I see a black one pretty much every day on my way home fro...

Today is beautiful day. Sunny, high about 80Â° (that is 26Â° for those in Canada) and after a week of rain and cool temps, a welcomed change. A perfect day to ride. Though I have only been riding for about a year, I now prefer it to all other means of transportation. If driving my Red Line = 10, rid...

As a Ion Redline owner, I will admit that the SRT-4 is beyond the RL or Cobalt SS in terms of straight line performance. The engine and turbo setup is a stout little power plant. If I recall correctly, Dodge had used the same 2.4 turbo in their minivans from the early 90's. The engine has been aroun...

Now there is a natural defense mechanism: Fainting. Not fight or flight, but faint. That is going to be great next time a coyote gets in to the goat pen!

MonotoneSatellite

That is a very good point. To this point Saturn has been panned in the press for being almost too cheap. "Fit and finish" are words repeated over and over in every review I've ever read. If the Sky and the Aura can beat that reputation solidly, Saturn should be on the edge of being the nex...

At the moment I hit about 26-27 MPG and I drive like a maniac. I have a K&N CAI that I need to install so we will see what that does to my gas mileage.

Lets hope that Pontiac becomes the true performance division. It would be nice to see the tin indians running faster, handling better and looking cooler than anything else in the General's ARMY.

I went for a rather long test drive today as both my wife and I took our turns at the wheel. Both of us are accomplished at driving a standard transmission, so the lengthy drive was fun. We both babied the tester as the salesman told us where to turn. I only had one chance to open it up a bit. We we...

I was bored so I Photoshoped a Carbon Fiber hood on a pic of a Neptune Vibe. I thought it looked cool so I thought I would share.

Yesterday (Thursday, January 6th) we ended up with a bit of snow on the ground here in Wisconsin. My drive to work went without issue, but when I got there the parking lot had yet to be plowed. The 8-12" inches in the parking lot was almost too much for my car to handle with my crappy tires (St...

I have had the vibe since April '03 and have 14,5xx miles. Not the lowest by far. But I am much closer to the low end than the high end.On a our other vehicle (Chevy S-10) we have just over 7500 miles in the same time frame. We planned it that way to save gas. The V6 in the truck gets much worse MPG...

Both GM and Chrysler have displacement on demand engines. Under heavy driving, all cylinders are used. While cruising on the highway or at constant speed, the engine shuts off up to half of the cylinders to save gas.For many years the Vette has used 1st to 4th shift in the six speed transmission und...

The other day I saw one on the road and I truly dig the TC. It would be on my short list if I were in the market to buy a new car. However, I would need to have some sort of utility vehicle in addition to the TC. The overall size would make hauling my 95lb golden retriever a little tough.
