Kay, I'll submit mine! A 92 5-speed.

I bought it late summer, last year. $400. It needed work, but ran well enough for a daily driver. It's seen it's share of work thus far, as well as it's share of miles. It's seen a camping trip where me and two buddies of mine slept inside it for two nights, rather than using our tent! lol It was also on that trip I overshot a spot when I drove up a small incline. I was just looking for a spot out of the way from the main road (backroad) to park for the night. It ended up that we got stuck there the night anyways. haha All worked out though, we pulled it out fine in the morning. But, there's plenty more of those trips to come. My friends like it too! Dubbed the "character car".

When I made the deal to buy my buddies Festiva project (with the B6T) I decided some of his stuff would be better suited to my DD Festiva. Sport interior. Power windows. I also have a gauge cluster with tach and a center console going in. This is in addition to some repairs I've been making, and am in the process of making, using parts in good shape from his extra parts.

The PO made a custom speaker box for the hatch cover. It's pretty good. I put an amp inside it and ran power to that. I did a radio delete with a power supply switch for the amp. I just plug my iPhone directly into that. It works well.

All in all, this is becoming the car I'm most attached to, well especially being as that it shares that attachment with my project Festiva. I'm really into these cars now though, and this car is where it started!

I 'll give it a try:

I was walking down the jy looking for a carb for my 75 lincoln when My daughter asked me if this little white car was an Ice Cream Cart (The one the ice cream man pushe's while he is walking and ringin' the bell)parked outside of th JY so Wife and I laughed and walked closer to the car to see it, and explain to my 6 y.o. daughter that there was no ice cream in it. The owner of the 1993 ford festiva gl asked me if I liked the car and Luna (my daughter) replied;Yes, He told us that he was selling it for $600 bucks and that it didn't passed smog. Since a car in CA needs smog I thought it would be cool to work on it and try to fix it myself.

A couple of weeks later in mid october '08 I called him back to see if he still had the car he did but now someone hit the front fender driver side, since he heard me not that much into the car anymore we agreed to meet to view the car again, while I was test driving it he asked me what was the highest price I would pay for it, and this automatic 1.3 has power and it is a gas zipper and I only had $300 cash with me.

Let me say that Luna Loves her car I just borrow it to go to work and take her out.

This is our first Festiva, and we love our Ice Cream Cart.
