...Only 364 days till the next one so everyone start planning and preparing for it. I would love to see 100 Festivas at Madness V.
I want to thank everyone who attended it was a blast meet new folks and seeing old friends. COME ON MADNESS V!

Started some preliminary planning, or a feasablity study I guess, a few weeks ago! We're hoping to make a family holiday of it, taking our time to get there and heading back in a hurry. Five of us in the Festiva should be lots of fun!

Just got home a couple of hours ago. What a fun Festiva meet! I had a blast -- wonderful people and great cars. The Madness Committee did an excellent job of putting this together. Thanks to every one of them and especially Barb for opening her home and making us all feel welcome. Can't wait until Festiva Madness V!!

Made it home about an hour ago. Truck had no problems even cut about a hour off google map time.

Had a great time just wish we had spent more time there instead of messing with the truck. We've learned our lesson the fastiva will be driven down next year.

Just got in awhile ago, had a great time. I brought my grandson with me, he will be 14 in Dec. and he had such a good time he talked all the way home about fixing up a 90 L I got recently for him to drive. He's hooked lol. Thanks to Barb and all the committee for the hard work and dedication. Just a few pics here. Will put some of the convoy from FL.

I had an interesting day! I was going to get up and head towards Barb's place when I checked in and found out that we had a problem for Dustin (driverone? don't knw sn) and his wife, Jamie (sp?)....

They camped out at a national park and lost their car keys while gathering wood. So he, wifey and bebandit looked for them all morning. No luck. They called a locksmith figuring they might accidentally locked them in the trunk. Nope... not there. So they waited for me to arrive with the metal detector before moving onto the next step. NO luck with it either.

Next step, they called another locksmith who attempted to make a key for their '02 Saturn. The guy cut 6 keys and not a single code he had worked. So I called Jiminy cricket and he brought over my car and towdolly from barb's....

BUT the Saturn's front bumper was too low for it to roll onto the dolly. (thus a marred up front bumper and hunk'n'chunk taken out one side). So a tow truck was called.

Tow truck arrived and drove off with the car. Then the driver called to tell us the "now-locked-up" Saturn was in neutral and rolling at the dealership. So he scotched the tires and told us to get up there ASAP and put it in gear.

This total event lasted about 8+ hours today. LOL

All in all though, it was fun just hanging out and getting to know some new friends!
