Almost all my free time I have, I spend it working on Old Red. Whenever I can't work on it I feel guilty kind of I guess I'm just really anxious to get it back on the road and start driving it And now I want to get a 2nd Festiva to swap a aspire engine or B6 in, and do an aspire swap on Dang FDD I already know of a decent shell I could probably get for cheap, that has very little rust, its a 90-93 5-spd, I have some pics if you guys are interested. I may buy it if my parents let me.....

-88' Mazda 323 SE, work in progress..
-85' Nissan Sentra 5 spd.
I've noticed very few festy owners at this point have just one. There's a coupel on eBay right now for sale with others in the back ground. I have three at the moment, and plan to sell at least one, possible two in the spring. Just awesome cars!
^^^Seems you're 100% right about that. Back last summer when I got "Madness 1", I don't know how many times I said, "This one car is all I want." Well now it's become 2 and soon, possibly a 3rd! Dang FDD!
Focustiva: Because I was told it was was impossible to fit a Focus bumper on a Festiva. In memory of Dean Allen - V8 Festiva 1955-2010

That about sums up my life. Unfortunately things like school and girlfriends get in the way...

I've noticed that too. Most of us have at least two. At one point I was the proud owner of 4 Festivas, but I didn't have the time or a place for them.

I know the feeling.................all I wanted was a winter beater...................and now??
Yeah all I was going to do with Old Red was fix it up so it was driveable, but it sorta snowballed, and I bought the new hatch, mirrors, LX moldings, other stuff. Now I'll be adding a spoiler, possibly getting a new paintjob this summer. I keep wanting to buy more parts to modify it more

Cool, I'm even thinking about building up a 2nd engine this summer to swap into it, if I have enough time

I've had 15 total. The most I've had at once is 5 or maybe 6. I have 2 right now, but one is traded off. I'd like to have 3 total. One BP daily driver, one stocker to rack up some miles, and some kind of race festiva. Maybe an autocrosser.
i'm still in the "1" category.... but i have a geo, does that count? maybe 1.5...
