The car runs solid with no issues. The car has never been to a race track or drag raced or anything like that just normal spirited driving. When I purchased the car about 3 years ago it was a certified pre-owned car and had a warranty which has since expired but this means the car was gone through with a fine tooth comb by a GM dealer just 14,000 miles ago!

2008 GXP 2.0l turbo engine
5 speed manual transmission
Limited slip differential
Black exterior & black top with Premium Acoustic Headliner
Black leather interior (seats, shift knob, steering wheel) with power height adjust on driver seat

I have the manuals and all service records for the car, it needs nothing right now

Mods on the car (Everything below was done within the last 5,000-10,000 miles except the tune)

Replaced stock silver headlights with the all black Street Edition Headlights from 2009 (brand new not used parts)
Silverstar headlight bulbs (for a more white color headlight)

DDM Probeam rear brace (makes a huge difference in handling)
DDM Venom front brace (made a considerable difference in handling)

Staggered 18x9 rear & 18x8 front OZ wheels (just 16lbs each that is 10lbs each lighter than stock, these are made in Italy & have NO CURB RASH AT ALL)
Hankook EVO v12 275/40 rear & Hankook EVO v12 245/45 front (still have 80-90% of tire tread and grip way better than the stock tires did)
Debadged back of car (removed “solstice”, “GXP” and Pontiac arrow, chrome pieces on back)
tinted front blinkers and rear tail lights (looks so nice on black car black car & light still gets through just fine)
blacked out the A-pillar around the front window as well as the 3 Pontiac arrows with plastidip (easily removed if you want to go back to silver)
Shorty antenna (still have the stock one if you want it)
Modified stock Airbox w/K&N washable filter (removed front noise baffling for better air intake and more turbo noise)
One step colder NGK iridium sparkplugs
20 gorilla lock nuts (to protect the OZ wheels from thieves)
T-bolt clamp upgrade (all clamps replaced with stronger t-bolt clamps so no boost pressure leaks out)
Car cover (the car is black, you need it!)

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.

General Motors has another spate of recalls to announce. This time they cover 312,280 vehicles worldwide, including 269,041 of in the US, in a total of six campaigns. In 2014, the automaker has recalled 29,079,765 vehicles worldwide, with 25,754,356 of those in the US.
The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.
Next is 72,826 models worldwide (48,059 vehicles in the US) of the 2013 Cadillac ATS four-door sedan, 2013 Buick Encore and 2013 Chevy Trax in Canada. It's possible that the for lap belt pretensioner to retract but not to lock, which could increase occupant movement during a crash. Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.
