I love the out-west adventure threads. Haven't been out there in a while and want to get back.

I'm convinced the VibeGT/Matrix XRS is the best winter car I could have bought. Ground clearance, 30mpg, cheap parts, and room for 4 in the engine bay. Bonus points for being entertaining to drive. I'm seriously pleased with it.
Glad the lift repair was easy and you like the car. But, uh, room for four in the engine bay?! After doing the clutch, in particular the rear engine mount, I have to strongly disagree with that assessment.
