AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.

i have an 04 pontiac vibe. it's a nice ride. it's good and all, but i want to do some work on it. i've already done the sound system, but now i want to increase the performace of the car. where do you all get your parts from? there are a few parts stores around where i live but i'm not sure if the are just stock parts, or if they have upgrades also. what kind of stuff should i look at or look for? i was looking to get a cold air intake, probably a turbo, new cam-shaft, plus i'm almost positive i have to upgrade the computer/electrial system. i plan on also doing some visual mods after i'm done under the hood. thanks for all advice.

How many miles to the gallon does that new one get? Or is it like gallons to the mile?
I spend just under 2k, at its highest price this summer for 3.89/gal, a month in gas and diesel month for 6 trucks and 12 pieces of equipment .
A 550 gets about 8mpg with my biggest load, 32 footer with a Toro 455 and 580-D on it during the summer. When its winter locked in 4wd 10 foot straight blade plow with a 22 foot trailer with either my Skid steer or Kubota Tractor, about 4mpg on the road but will down a 19 gal tank in 6hrs of being on jobs plowing. Thats why I carry a 5 gal and a fuel bong to get it clean ups done with enough to get back to the gas station.
Yeah they are shaped like a brick but they get the job done and put money in the pocket.
