My old job had me commuting over 35 miles one way to work. Half of that time was spent with a carpooling co-worker. Despite having a *loud* soundsystem, and said co-worker enjoying music, I tend to be a bit shy regarding forcing my music onto other persons, so when he was in the car I would turn off the stereo. We didn't ride in complete silence however: all the plastic door lock posts *rattled* like crazy. Here I added adhesive backed green felt I purchased at Home Depot to various spots on the lockposts in order to silence this buzz.

I have a touchscreen driven computer in my Vigor. Computer in the trunk, touchscreen on the dash. Having fought with mounting / dropping the touchscreen in my Oldsmobile, something more permanent needed to be done on my vigor. Here I chop up a spare center dash picked up from eBay, epoxy in the facia from my touchscreen, and bondo the join for a seamless look. This is the first of three times I build/rebuild this dash piece, the others have their own subgalleries.

**OCCASIONAL STRONG LANGUAGE WITHIN** 6 months after I re-worked the touchscreen in my dash, my Vigor was broken into. 2 amplifiers, a subwoofer, a USB hard drive, and one REALLY old broken down screenless laptop were taken. They rifled through everything looking for anything of value. They tried to rip the touchscreen out of the dash, but missed one screw. This screw held on long enough for them to break the epoxy/bondo on the screen. Seeing they had broken it the thieves stopped there. Thanks for leaving the most expensive component guys! Seriously - that screen alone was over $300 new!
