    I just hit the BIG 100,000

    Sorry no pics yet but I just noticed it when I came home from a run tonight. At the moment it sits at 100,212 miles. Funny thing was at about 99,940 miles, my car was running horrible and I thought to myself "Is there a 100,000 curse?" which is when your car gives you problems at the century mark. I got home cleaned the cap and rotor, switched the wires for 10.95 (Napa) then she ran like new again.





    Pictures up by tomorrow.


    BTW: I know he doesn't come on here anymore but BIG THANKS to APARATUS for selling me a great problem free (minus waterpump) car

    Hey as long as you do the simple things you'll see that Festiva roll-over a couple of more times - Lots of them out there with 300 and 400 thousand miles.

      yep the simple things like making sure the sparkplugs are in tight as i found out on our 91 mazda that my mother brought home saying it was running bad...spark plug blew out of the head but no damage was made to the threads.

        Congrats on the milestone Collegeboi!! Never had a Festiva below 100K. Kind of creeping up on 250K on mine now.

        1988 L - 232K miles Batstiva
        1989 L - 247K miles Slick
        1990 L - 281K miles Orphan Annie
