  • You meet the nicest people in a Festiva

    I went out today to talk to a guy about a 5speed for project TroubleMaker. I got lost on the way out, then got stuck trying to turn around on a county road. After I finally got to the guys house we talked about the trans and afew other goodies. Well one thing led to another, and I'm still not too sure how it happened, but I bought two more cars. One is a beauty of a MetBlue LX. One is a red parts car missing alot of parts and with a little front end damage but may be great yet. TroubleMaker is now going to be the MetBlue LX with plenty of options, I'm going to inventory all the other parts as soon as I can. I'll have pics if I can just figure out how to use this darn camera.

                Nice stuff! Sounds good. Well, the first time I drove a Festiva, it was out of kindness from the owner. I'd gone to another city with my buddy (same guy got my project Festiva from) and I needed a ride back home cause he was gonna stay longer. So, his buddy lent me his Festiva to drive back home in! I've still never met the guy, but I'd like to thank him. haha I quite enjoyed that drive back too! I also had someone in town I'm a Festiva gimme a thumbs up for driving a Festiva. haha

                      Fresh, you can count on it! And that beast in the avatar is the one and only BRUCE! I miss him every day.

                      BraveKozak, I honestly don't know. The cars look awsome, the deal was sweet and as long as it's FI who cares?

                        really?! Down here, Subaru owners are either bleeding-heart leftist Nazis, or their Hollister-wearing spoiled-brat kids...

                          you would be amazed, its nothing like that here. i used to have a few brats and imprezas that i drove, and it was almost funny how courteous the other subie drivers were. waving all the time, letting other subaru drivers out in traffic, talking at gas stations, parking next to other subarus (and subarus are always backed into their parking spots lol) i think some people buy subarus just to be a part of the community.

                            Thats actully the Teal car I am driving right now (camera test)

                            This is TroubleMaker.



                            Anyone need a cluster?





                            I still don't belive it...

                            No driver side, but I should be able to remedy that.


                            Still waiting for the guy to call back and say APRIL FOOLS!!!
