                      Congratulations, Jeff!

                      I'm hoping Luxstiva makes it to 300K. She's at 215K right now, with her original ATX. Newer engine ('94 B6) and suspension/brakes ('95 Aspire).

                      '93GL "Prettystiva" ticking B3 and 5 speed, backup DD; full swaps in spring!
                      '91L "AquaMutt" my '91L; B6 swap/5 speed & Aspire brakes, DD/work car
                      '92L "Twinstiva" 5sp, salvage titled, waiting for repairs...
                      '93GL "Luxstiva," '94 B6 engine & ATX; needs overhauled
                      '89L "Muttstiva," now a storage bin, future trailer project

                        I always get choked up on occasions like this :cry: Are you going to retire it now or go for the big 1,000,000 ?

                        Thats a real testament to you and the festiva.

                        Congratulations :!:

                              This is my 1988 Ford Festiva.I bought the car new so all the miles are mine.It tripped 500,000 miles on August 15, 2007.


                              TominMO - No, I changed out the tranny last summer after my brother blew the clutch out of it. It was starting to grind when you shifted gears anyway. But how many transmissions have you seen that lasted 460,000 miles?

                              Safety Guy - you could have the highest mileage automatic

                              freshtiva - I'm just going to enjoy the moment for now.

                              b3 madness - 500k miles - You can do it !
