Hehe, I thought from the title of this thread, Wave was going to brag about how he had to push start his Vibe by getting it rolling and popping the clutch...lol

thanks god no...im surprised seems like im the first one to post such a thing on here...i mean after a quick little search it yield just a thread on pushing and starting i think it be neat to just buy the thing to stick in place of the blank panel even if you didnt hook it up....if you felt like blowing some money that is...lol...maybe in the future when i win the lottery..hahahha..i was really thinking bout getting remote start though but if i were to get it id prolly kick myself if i didnt also get an alarm system with it...butttt alarm and remote starters are expensive

For some reason I really thought it was about someone push starting their car that we could poke fun at, but I gues its just me with a lack of sleep.Aron

haha, i've always kind of thought about doing something like this. thought it would be fun to try. as for the push starting, i learned it about 8 years ago when i was learning to drive, but i haven't had a stick shift car since then, how do you do it again? isn't it put the car in 2nd with the clutch on, push the car, then release the clutch?
None. Vibe is gone.
