I would like to thank my Festiva's PO for...

[marinepolice03]

for selling me the car instead of selling it to some kid that don't care about it.

[Festiva_Fred]

For not paying the mechanic for repairs on them, so the mechanic could get a lein on them and then sell them to me, and for the mechanics neighbor trading his festiva for a lawn mower I think. That allowed me to get 3 festivas at the same time for $750

[blkfordsedan]

for these:

Hmmmm...................Peyronie's disease ?

[Sparky]

For taking good care of the Baron! And LOTS of highway miles....

I'll add a couple more:

Thanks for never changing the original fuel filter it was a blast to change.

Thanks for leaving the washer off when you rebuilt the wheel bearings in the back.

I'd like to thank the PO of paint II for...
Being too cheap to buy a wiring kit for the radio,
So the "installer" cut all the wires and used end crimps to connect everything.
Eating apparently every meal since 1990 in the car,
and making sure to drop potato chips and frys under both front seats to the point of clogging
the rails so that I had to tear them down to get them to adjust your seating position.
Never changing the air filter and wondering why the car kept losing power/ failing emissions.
Never changing the sparkplugs.
Re-capping the tires 55 times.
JB welding the Speedo cable.
Buying replacement carpet from JcWhitney(doesn't fit.)
hooking up a 125watt stereo to the dry rotted stock speakers.

that's about it.

I'd like to thank the PO of Hula Baloo for not replacing the valve cover gasket, cam and crank seals, and oil pan gasket. This allowed copious amounts of engine oil to generously coat the underside of the car, thwarting what surely would have been epic rust, due to it's habitat of the salt-rich environment of northern MD/southern PA roads!

I'd like to thank my car's po for keeping the body and paint in such good shape. I'd also like to apologize for covering it with 8 coats of spraybomb...and counting...

Definately is a good by-product of oil leaks! My Festiva almost looks like new underneath. Every fall I'm going to coat the underneath of the Escape with a layer of oil... need to get a sprayer and remember to keep some of my old oil. Used a paint brush and some old PP 5w20 on it last year worked good.

-completely messing up the reverse threaded wheel spindle that actually went bad on me when i was driving on the highway
-not replacing the valve cover and everything said about the oil before "dito"

-using every seat as a cup holder and spilling the drink every time apperantly
-misplacing the drivers side door window weather striping (dont know why you would ever take it off but they found a reason.
-i should have known something was up when i drove to va to get it and they didnt even show up to the pick-up
