2003 - Pontiac Vibe on 2040-cars
Kalamazoo, Michigan, United States
This has probably been my favorite car I have ever owned. The Vibe combines the features of a car, a hatchback wagon, a crossover, and an SUV. It is both practical and stylish. I am the second owner and have performed all scheduled maintenance on a regular basis over the past five years. I have always used semi-synthetic oil and had regular tire rotations and balancing. It has newer all-season Falken tires (10/13) from Discount Tire that have a warranty until 208,533 miles. The front brakes and rotors were replaced 8 months ago. I had the tires rotated and balanced last month. I had the oil changed this week and also had it professionally cleaned by a detail shop. It has new premium wipers, new engine air filter, new cabin air filter (many people forget to change these.) The only issues that I aware of are that there is a brief whistling noise from the exhaust that occurs on hard acceleration. I have had several mechanics tell me there is nothing wrong with my exhaust and I have this in writing. There is also some minor paint flaking on the rear bumper. You can see in the pictures that there is paint missing from the upper part of the rear bumper about the size of an index card.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
