  • Got a SPOILER today!!!!!

    So here I am just drove 800 miles on saturday. Came to my home town with my wife and kids to visit family. As I am running to the store I spot a festiva (red) with a spoiler sitting at an apartment office. It was beat too. So I thought what the heck I'll stop and offer something for it and see what happens. So I pull up to find a little old lady sitting in the passenger seat waiting on her husband. I ask "who's car is this?". As she is telling me that it's hers, the seat she is sitting in reclines all the way! I thought she was going to have a heart attack! She sits back up and her husband soon comes out. I introduce myself and trying not to act too excited about the spoiler ask " Will you take 50 bux for it?". The guy answers "well i have a guy that wants to trade the festiva for a van for it and he's already seen the spoiler." I said well i would love to have it if it doesn't work out. So I come back thinking oh well. About two hours later I told my wife to come see one in person, so she did. As soon as we pulled up (in eurotiva) the guy comes out dragging his jaw! He was really impressed with what I've done with the little car. Soon after his wife came out and said "I just got off the phone with the van guy and he said we can't trade." I thought what timing! So he looks at me and goes i guess it's yours. Man i couldn't have been more excited. I'm glad my wife was there to see that. So I gladly, and gently took my new spoiler off his festiva. He told me he didn't like the way his looked now but he wanted to see it on mine. So out of fellow festiva goodness, I took his passenger seat out and fully disassembled it and made it safe again. He also was arguing with his wife about how much more junk they could fit if they removed the backseat(because i never carry a back seat). So I showed them that the seat folds twice. They could not be happier .ME NIETHER!!!! I will post pics soon of the spoiler(which is faded but a ford part). Before and after of eurotiva. And the kind folks who generously gave up their spoiler to make another festy shine!!

          LOL, I was going to ask you if you looked under their passenger seat for a tray. Ive got four extra motors. Unfortunately they arent stackable. Congrats on the spoiler. I would trade you an underseat tray for a spoiler.
