Assuming it is a '03-'08 Vibe Base, Get some of these http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=24144 for $2K or less, then put the rest into savings.

And I just noticed your location... I've driven through Angola... taking 20 from I90 to I69 on the way to Indianapolis! It's kind of a shortcut and there are a few more spots to stop for a snack.Nice monument on the roundabout!

But why let our governement use your money all year long when you could be using it instead?A big return means that too much was taken out to begin with and that someone profited from investing YOUR money.I/we always claim "single" and "0", even though I/we am married, and still we get a reasonable return each year.

Unless it was for something random, like a homebuyer credit or something.

Pontiac didn't seem to change anything else on the exterior. llIs this V the one????
