Woooooooooo!!! That Vibe sure can take a lot, as well as do some cool things in the snow. Those are things I'd expect to see only a Subaru or proper rally car doing, not our modest economy cars! I'd like to see a base compared to that though. More power, a different diff, and FWD.

I want to tell you all this car is a tank in the snow. Last year it REALLY impressed me and how well it go around. Only wish it had 4 wheel ABS.

I don't believe my 05 Trix does. What year did they start that? I've got drum rears on it. Maybe it does?....After some research it appears you are correct. Oh well open mouth and insert foot again. Please pass the salt! LOL

Wow awesome video! I can only dream of doing something like that in a car, but looks like fun! Sidenote: when did they offer the 3 holed outlet, though? Mine only has the two slots which surprisingly limits its usability.
