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

[m715]

When you go to pay for your gas, intending to complain about the fill up being 15.00, and decide you need to keep your mouth shut when you are standing in line between two SUV owners who just put 80.00 each in their trucks.

You write congress to patch things up with IRAN (y Venezuela) just for plastic car parts.
You compare the 2011 Fiesta to your Festiva with 250k and call it a tossup.
When posting you're lazy to capitalize states, countries, or peoples' first names but hit Ford, Festiva, Avella and Pride nearly every time.
When CL browsing every festiva gets a mental festy name if it was yours.
You buy another festiva and check the member list on here to see if there is the same festiva name taken, in case you want to PM a mod and make it permanent.

What show is that??

I remember seeing that too, seems like it was the Newest Star Trek. Not sure.

Not to turn this into another Festivas in the Movies thread, but there's also a burned out Festiva in an early episode of NCIS. It's a target car at a Marine bombing range.

My family thinks I'm a nerd because every time that episode happens to come on, I pause the TV and go, hey look a Festy. :tard:

Dollhouse.

* If you spend so much time correcting people that it's a Festiva that they INSIST on calling it "The little red car".

* If you've been known to wait around for another Festiva owner to come out of a business just to tell them about FF.com

* If you've spent half your day persuading your wife that a Festiva is the next car she should buy.

Haha! I wanna lift it and ride on 17s! Just kidding. God no.

As for the parts, this car only has about 60. Including engine internals

i'm putting 22s on mine. I gotta keep up with the times. Nah I am joking, I love my 13s.

*Your car breaks down, and you're able to diagnose, repair, and drive it away within an hour

*Something FINALLY starts to wear out after 200,000 miles, but still holds up for another year

*You know every little sound on your car and just how much longer the part will most likely last - but you have a spare in the hatch anyway.
