OK, Here is the story, I had a red '89 L , stock as can be from a guy in Tulsa. I found that one on autotrader and drove 4 hours to find out he didnt take pictures of the drivers side because it was all bashed in. So I bought the car anyway. I was mad until i got back here 4 hrs. later and put 4 gal. of gas back in, then i was happy 
more on that later.
Then about 6 mos. later my friend was looking for a car, and I found this one! It was on a "Car lot" which was pretty much a dirt lot with junk piled all around it, and a plywood sign spraypainted, sayin "cars for sell" , Im not making that up . The "salesman" was your typical, Fat, bald, greasy, polyester wearin, 2 teeth, "graduated" 30 years ago but still wears the letterman jacket he stole from someone else, and wears gold chains with everything because its cool guy. My friend actually bought this car from him. by the way the guy said it ran great no problems, and didnt really want to sell it. YEAH RIGHT!. The car ended up litterally using more oil than gas, Im not making that up, all the tires rubbed, and were different sizes, some flat. EVEN HAD DESKTOP COMPUTER SPEAKERS WHERE THE INFINITY SPEAKERS ARE NOW!! So now my friend is stuck with this "lawn ornament" festiva and has no money to get another car. He ended up going to Iraq(we do that regularly around here) and came back on emergency leave for a death in the family. He didnt have a car to drive back home to Miss. so i told him I would sell him my red '89 for whatever he could had at the time and trade him strait across for this one, just tryin to help him out. so i got a couple hundred bux for my red car that ran like it was new by the way, and got this "Gem" in return. no big deal I had a GTO to drive to work anyway. so over the next year, I slowly put it together in my spare time, got new tires, struts, coilovers, stereo, real Car speakers, a head unit that is worth twice the blue book of the car, a new fuel injected BP, converted the car wiring to accept the new harness, new clutch, cleaned and polished her up, to what you see now, a nice festiva, but no Ferarri. My friend still drives my old '89 and has done nothing but put gas in it. we recently retrofitted it with a supplemental Hydrogen setup. he now gets 50 MPG average. Dont think i left anything out, but thats pretty much it.
