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

If you buy a dead festy (I did) and a whole donor car (I did - egt) then part out the donor car (I did) then you can make a profit on your swap. I did. I'm a little into the green on my BP/G25.

--When the guy selling his $400 KIA w/ 5 speed can't understand why you are so excited. Then he changes his mind like he's forgotten money or drugs in it. =/
--After 20 years in the sun your 300 dollar festiva looks so much better than the $300 tattoo of roughly the same age.
--the endless fat momma/gf/wife insults when a group of guys always want to try and pick up your car. (they've got practice or what )

Done that. I passed an F-150 stuck in some freshly uh, plowed? earth. Road crews removed a part of road. It was really chunky. The truck was stuck stuck. I started coming toward them with a pizza in my festy. They were waving me off! NO! NO! they yelled. I laughed as I passed them delivering, and laughed again as I returned past them after the delivery! LOL!!

* When at night you drive beside someone just to use their headlights
* When at night, and there's no cars around, your well trained cat eyes and amazing ability to identify vague shadows takes over
* When 5 people, 3 snowboards and 2 sets of skis fit better in the car than in most regular sized modern cars
* When you pass those same modern cars on a snowy uphill with said cargo
* When getting a clock is very exciting!
* When you have windex and a squeegy (or paper towel) on hand and instruct your passenger to lean out their window and clean the windshield while you're driving

^^ there's a place where I can match the speed limits and coast for 1.5-2 miles into a town until I get to the first stop sign

spin off #1:
The place is the local soap box derby track.

spin off#2:
If you enter your car in the soap box race, you are not disqualified.

spin off#3:
....... even with your engine running.

You know you are a Festy owner when snarled or stalled traffic only makes you look around to see how high the curb next to the empty bike lane/sidewalk is in order to get you out of there.
