another festy

[FlowmasterFestiva]

i might be getting another festy in the next week. its a black 89L with 177xxx miles on it. if/when i get it ill get some pics of it. its in fairly decent shape. test drove it earlier today. first time in a 4spd and carb festy. stalled it puling out of his driveway. it was a little sluggish being carb and cold i think. its got the shifter console. orange non tach cluster.

if you decide not to keep it, I'll take it!

My carb'd car seems faster than an FI car. Atleast to me anyway.

[FlowmasterFestiva]

it wasnt warmed up fully and im used to my grandmother 5spd contour.

I don't mind the carb in my '89. I agree with Brian. It's as quick or quicker than my FI car. I do mind the 4 speed slightly on the highway. The engine screams at 75. I still get 38 mpg. It's just very scary sounding. There's a 5 speed swap in my future.

There's a 5 speed swap in my future.

Hope you get it. Black ones are rare. Dont know why, everyone seems to like black.

Jason - do you still have the other Festiva?

My dad loved his carbed Festivas when he had them... they seem to get better gas mileage too.

[FlowmasterFestiva]

i commute to far to go in the am class plus my job has me working in the morning.

the festy is on rt113 just down from 100. im going to the dmv tomorrow to switch my license to pa so i can buy it on Saturday.

how far is your commute? ill be in the area of uti on sat. are you going to go the the open house on feb 14 there?

[FestYboy]

oh great, two MORE UTI grads... (me too)....do yourselves a favor, (especially shorestiva) PAY attention, it pays... i was short only ONE SOC when i graduated and missed one again when attending NTI in NC. it looks very good on your resume.

[shorestiva]

Im staying in downingtown during the week so I have a 15min ride to school every day. Weekends I usually go home and try to thin down the fleet of cars sitin in the yard.

My GPA is a 4.0 with a attendence rate around 97 only one soc though. I do pretty good but theres always one or two people that will beat me.
