  • Festiva your only vehicle?

    I just got to wondering today how many here rely on Festivas as their sole mode of transport. I figured the are a second car or a work car for many, but alot of people have multiple Festys. Who has a Festiva only and then maybe back up festys for when the main one is down. No other cars.
    I have one, My wife and daughter each have one as well. That's all we use for daily driving. I do have the Econoline I could use if I have to, but they couldn't drive it. Its a three on the tree, no power anything! Plus its always garaged and I don't use it for daily driving. Only when I need a truck or car shows/cruise ins. The hawk is in pieces.:0(
    Anyone have only Festivas?

      Yes, since my Malibu crapped out on me, my Festy is my sole means of transportation. The only plans I have as far as changing that would be addtional Stivas. :mrgreen:

          My blue Festy is my daily driver; Casper I drive about 1/4 of the time; the others not at all; the Subaru I drive once a week to keep the seals lubed more than anything. That's my winter car.

                    my 89 l is also my DD which I get nervous everytime I work on it because if I make a mistake, I would have to borrow my exz accord.

                      Yes, the DeathEgg is my only vehicle I use. (btw, it turned 21 years old last week!! Yay!)
                      I do have my '69 VW Fasty in storage in Pittsburgh, which I hope to get running again when I return soon. Also hope to get another Festy that is a bit less rusty than mine.
                      If it has boobs or wheels, sooner or later you're going to have trouble with it.

                        I have just my one Festiva. If it were to be out of commission and I needed to drive somewhere, I would borrow one of my parent's cars. If I couldn't do that, I would be stuck riding my 50cc motorized bike.

                          The wife and I rely on a festiva everyday. I did drive the EGT to work twice this week though, that was unusual. Wanted to run it some.
