2003 Toyota Matrix XRs.

Please tell me you're joking, the 30-70 time in that car is probably more like 8 seconds.

I knew about the Vibe. I cannot believe you could look at the sheet metal and not know it's the same car. The only difference I can see is the ugly Poncho nose and some trim details. Oh, well.

My only real beef with the Matrix/Vibe is the el-cheapo Delco radio. I know a lot of Matrix buyers who have been long-time Toyota owners are pretty unhappy with the stock radio. They are used to the Panasonic radios that Toyota has used for years and years, which is vastly superior to any Delco radio. One of the first mods that a lot of Matrix owners making is upgrading from the stock Delco radio.

You know, I always kinda laugh in GM's commercials where they try to pass the Vibe off as their own. They did have a hand in the styling of that car, but mechanically its all Toyota. It always has baffled me that GM rips on Toyota all the time, yet Toyota has been one of GM's longest partners. Toyota came in and showed GM how its done at the GM plant in Fremont, CA and in less than 5 years, that plant went from being one of the worst in the industry in terms of quality/efficiency to being the best. Not to mention the fact that if it werent for Toyota, GM would have never had the Chevy Nova (a redbaged Toyota Corolla) Geo/Chevy Prizm (another rebadged Toyota Corolla and a car that was VASTLY superior to the Cavalier) and the Pontiac Vibe I once had this lady at my work actually argue with me that her Vibe wasnt a Toyota. You should have seen the look on her face when I had her pop the hood and showed her the tag on the side of the engine that said, "TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION, NAGOYA, JAPAN."
Please tell me you're joking, the 30-70 time in that car is probably more like 8 seconds.

Id say that 2 seconds is probably being optimistic, but 5 seconds is a pretty realistic 30-70 time. The Matrix/Vibe is a quick little car, especially the XRS that milelz has. 180 hp + a 2300 pound car = 1 quick little buggy. The AWD Matrix/Vibe is a little pokey because it has the 130-hp engine and has the drag of AWD, but the XRS only comes in front-drive and they get up and go pretty good.

Today on my first day of school.. at lunch time I am walking to Mcdonalds and there is a freakin Lambo in the parking lot!!! I have never seen a lambo in person before and nobody owns them in Winnipeg. This guy drove from Nevada in his Lambo.. IT WAS SOO SWEET!

He is currently the only one in Winnipeg right now with a lambo.

and how did you manage that?

I have my ways

No but really, I live in Alaska and every year we get a dividend, and that is usually ~$1000 so 14 years gives me around $14K, and this years was $3300, which gives me $17300. The car is an '08 and it was used as a rental fleet so I got it for $16,649. It has like 27K miles. But the real question is do you like?

    • Day 79 - 2024-12-18 Got some work in before lessons while finishing the charging of the R50.
    • Matt, the equation is simple from my perspective. Stronger the grip, greater the potential of application for twist torque at impact. And if it it is combined with an extreme outward path as you say, god help you. Not too many skilled players with super strong grips, are there? Sure, it's all about match-ups but the connection to super strong grips and duck hooks is common from what I see and have dealt with myself.
    • Day 154: not feeling great, so just 5 minutes of mirror work. Working on backswing stuff still. 
    • I have been a big follower of this technology ever since I saw Positive Putters display at a golf show in the Revealer they invented and patented. That would have been around 2000. It made sense to me that staying target line balanced was a better way of balancing.  Early models of these putters were often too flat for me and I struggled to hole more putts. I was fascinated by all of them - Positive Putters, the Railgun, the SeeMore blades and the Backstryke. I have tried the DF1, which was great for long putts, and currently use the DF3. I am still really good at long putts with the DF3 3, having made a 90’ putt and a 34’ putt in my last two rounds. My first round with the DF3 I only had 24 putts making almost 200’ of putts. I don’t quite use the putter the way they suggest- I don’t swing harder, and only a little longer, on longer putts. All my putts are at the same tempo, or strive to be. Therefore, I am swinging harder on longer putts. I do love putting with the DF 3 and I have become much better at putting through 50-60 mm gates at home, rarely hitting the sides.
