You know you drive a Festiva if.......

[freshtiva]

You know someone that made fun of your car(s) until gas hit $4/gal and then they bugged you to sell them one.

People constantly ask you how many MPG you get, ignoring the numerous other benifits.

* You consider a 1.8 liter engine BIG POWER

* You have a picture of that same 1.8 liter engine on a T-shirt!

* You proudly wear said T-shirt in public & brag that you have 127 HP now!

People you work with, who don't drive Festivas, have to tell you they are happy for you, but don't want to hear anymore about your "new" Festiva.

Scott I know how you feel. Everybody at my work must get tired of it too. I'm always thinking turbo this and turbo that....

I think that bug has bitten me. I'm already mulling over a B3T, just to get my feet wet.

That's what I had planned to do with Blue, until Greg talked me into a B6/rear turbo. (It didn't take all that much convincing.)

BTW Greg I'll be there on Friday 29 January.

-You know you drive a Festiva when you don't have a trip counter in your cluster
-You only have one windshield washer nozzle on your hood
-You have no heat in the winter
-You hit your passenger's knee when engaging fifth gear
-You can flip your rear windows open by flipping the seat rearwards and reach back
-Your car changes lanes when a semi or big SUV flies by you
-You're one of the only FWD cars still venturing on the road in the worst possible snowstorm
-Your monthly insurance payment costs less than filling up your car with gas (at least in my case)
-Your window frames look like they want to tear off when catching a severe wind drift
-And finally, you know you drive a Festiva when some people lust after your factory rear spoiler hehehe!!!

^Those are pretty good.
I've noticed three different Festivas in my town (3000 people) and the neighboring town(<1000), that I never saw before a couple of weeks ago. And every time I see a little car with a square front, I stare to see what it is. There are two whites and an aqua? blue. I wonder if they'd notice if I removed a hatch from one of the white ones...
