Another successful oil change... No drips, but a little bit of condensation around the oil pan. I didn’t drop the drain plug or get a single drop on the driveway. Second time in a row!

I then attempted to clean it... I dare not call what I did “Svending.” But it’s better-ish than it was. Yes, that is a bent hubcap, which I suspect was the tire shop that didn’t know you can’t pop it off and then I guess decided to hope I would never notice.

Driver’s foormat is nearing the end of its life. Various stains in the cloth remain, but I try. I need a professional. Or better gear. Just be glad you didn’t see any ”before” photos.

I will say that while a base Vibe is unremarkable in every way imaginable, it’s also mindlessly reliable. 52,000 miles over 3+ years and all I’ve done is replace the tires, the radiator fan, three bulbs, and changed the oil.

Eeeeyup. Mindlessly... Mindlessly reliable...

Sorry I replaced the oil with cooking grease. Hope you noticed.

I’ve used them on all of my cars (except for my VW because they have a silly plastic oil pan), no leaks and no issues. Makes an oil change so much easier, especially if the bolt is in a weird place and/or can prevent the need to jack up the car. Totally worth the $25 to save all the frustration and mess.

Admit it. The dog did everything. You’re just stealing the credit.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo 06/10/2018 at 18:44

I think the hard plastic load floor, and seat backs is my favorite feature of the Vibe

I want one of these. So reliable, so more cargo capacity than a sedan

21 cubic feet with the rear seats up, 54 with the rear seats down. You can get a lot of crap inside these things.
