  • Lots and Lots of Festies

    So, today I think I broke my record for number of Festivas sighted in one day.
    16 different ones! 1 black, 2 charcoal gray, 3 blue, 4 red, 3 white, 1 yellow, and 2 silver. Average day around here is 7 or 8 different ones. Yellow one was pretty pathetic, but it ran. The rest looked like decently cared for cars. Just wondering how many you guys see in a average day. Not counting your own. Otherwise, I'll have to change my count for today to 18.

              Wow, granted the Festiva is the state car of WV, but on a bad day, I still see 3 or 4 minimum.

                I might see two or three in a week. All beat up and driven by highschool kids.

                I drove past a black one the other day in my Jeep. It had hand painted flowers all over it and in it were three young girls all talking on cell phones! I laughed.

                    At the rate I see them around here it would take me about 3 1/2 - 4 yrs to see as many as you seen in 1 day. And some of those might be repeats.

                      I see one blue Festiva on the way to work most days. On days that I work in the early afternoon, there's a rusty grey one that an employee drives. I've seen maybe one or two others at work. Most I've ever seen in one day is 3, I think.

                          Now I know where all the Festivas have gone!! They moved to WV.

                          I used to see one here and one there, and when 5.0zone and I went to work on the same schedule, I would spot his car a 2-3 days a week. I haven't seen one on the road now in a couple of weeks. Last one was at supper two weeks ago when a couple pulled in driving a silver right before we left.

                          Last year when gas was $4/gal. they were coming out of the woodwork, but still I would only average spotting 1 or 2 a day.
