I've been entering mine every month just so there is actually enough cars to vote for! Mine isn't in nearly the condition I would like it to be. When is the cut off date for voting?

Well, since nobody is entering, I'll keep this white and red theme going for this year.
Many of you have heard me write or talk about my 93 auto "Rosie", well here she is.
This is how she looked the night I bought her. Paid a whopping 650 bucks for this lovely girl. She was solid, a few dents, but mechanically two wheels in the salvage yard. Her P.O. was driving her daily into the ground and he knew it. He was a Festiva lover, and this car along with several other festivas had been in his family since new. He wants another one, but a manual trans car. I think he felt good selling her to someone who would care for her, and the love started the day she came to me.
Heres a list of what I've done so far.
Cleaned, cleaned, cleaned!
New copper dual core radiator (her radiator was half plugged with stop leak)
factory auto radiator fan and shroud (thanks Arty!) because hers was missing
rubber accordion intake pipe from the salvage yard, hers was cracked
New thermostat, coolant flush.
tranny flush
new cd player, and speakers (all 4! yay!)
good used dash bezel (thanks Max!)
New trans mounts, front and rear (rear was a PTA)
used brake pads (she's getting tweaks old capri swap when I get around to it)
spark plugs (the old ones were horrific, can't believe she even ran!)
O.Z. rally edition wheels with 165 45 15" Federal formoza tires
She still needs a lot of work, but at least she runs good and is reliable now. In the near future she is getting a B6t mounted to the auto tranny, capri brakes, advance suspension system, rebuilt steering rack and LX interior (she is a GL with A/C).

Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.
