    Why the phuck does that thing have such huge motors? It's on screws. That thing is a brutally slow pig. When you try to spin those motors fast they don't have any torque. I think it's hilarious that JD's garage makes an even sshitier clone of this thing lol

    I just picked up a 2005 Vibe GT with 335k from the 2nd owner who had it for 15 years and ran Mobil one in it. Going to do a compression test and see how it looks. Has a rust hole right behind the front control are mount so I plan on parting it out as it has a bad clutch, cracked windshield and rust along the top of the windshield. This car will be parted out so other GT's/Vibes can live. I did cut a Vibe in half to see how it was constructed and under the pinch welds, there is another frame structural member running the length of the rockers. These cars are built tough. I have 7 Vibes in my driveway right now. 8-)
