Posting in testing, because that way some people will see it, but it will go away after a while, and won't clutter up a real forum. More like testing the idea, not the post itself. Had a couple of ideas for threads that might be useful, but figured it would be better if they made it into a regular f...

As a seller, you can cancel someone's bid. SO if you don't like them or trust them, or they send an email and beg to be let off the hook, you can cancel their bid. I think as a bidder you can retract a bid, but doing so probably shows up somehow, making you a less trusted bidder for the next time. I...

The quality of available music is irrelevant. The artist creates a copyrighted piece of intellectual property, and people are accountable to the copyright laws. If an artist decides to make their music freely availble in order to get publicity and develop a fan base, that's fine, but not the norm. F...

Probably either don't know or can't say, but how long do you think you'll be over there? A couple of years? If it's going to be a long time, a third option would be to sell it, and buy a new one when you get back. As much fun as it would be to get it on the autobahn, and with all the cool mods you'v...

When the dome lights are on the red with black should be a ground. When the dome lights are off, the red with black will be floating/open, but since it's hooked up to the dome lights (a resistor), it will probably float up to 12V, If you measured the red with black using a meter , it would appear th...

OK, somehow I thought that it might be possible to add the GM external Cd changer to the single Cd stock Vibe radio, and then you could get the PIE adapter to work, but I was wrong.

This is one of those threads where those tags would help. I can't tell who's being serious, and who's kidding.

I figure it's close enough to 10 gallons gone when the needle is at 1/4 tank, and that makes getting a MPG estimate easy while driving along. (I also do a halfway at 6.6 gallons, which is harder to figure, but it gives me something to do)

I agree that there are some problems that would be best addressed by the dealer. I have been really lucky with my vibe, no real problems.

Do you mean that black plastic stripe that fits in the channel between the roof front at the windshield and the front of the roof rack?On mine, the back end of that piece just slides under the roof rack, and the front end sort of clips into a small retainer.

Some radios have an output for a power antenna, Turn the radio on and the antenna goes up. If a radio had such a signal, couldn't it power the antenna amplifier?

Mike, did you know that if you rub peanut butter on your CAI filter you can an extra 20 HP out of it? It has to do with adding the extra complex hydrocarbons to the air/fuel mix. Disclaimer: if anyone is actually gullible enough to try this, they deserve the results.

The shifter is probably more in the way with the outlet in the center, but not sure that it really matters. There's still space between the outlet and the shifter, which is closest when in third. Having the outlet on the right side is probably better for running a power cord off to the side. So not ...

When I had mine apart, I switched the AC switch and outlet. Figure this must be giving me an extra 10 HP at least.

I agree, there are no easy answers.
