    Sweet

    I love the rat rod scene. No dumb questions asked here. Just be sure to use the search button first. Also, put your location in your profile in case there's someone close to you that can help.

    Welcome to the site!!!

                            you could prob find one for cheaper if you need to welcome to the site. dont feel too bad i got jipped on my first festiva too the seller didnt even show up to the drop spot and i drove two states to get it... come to find out it had all bad wheel berings and bad rear spindles and bad suspension and all kinds of stains inside and... the list goes on. since then i have only spent about 500 and have a car that is like new and looks great. again welcome to the site and dont give up im sure there are more cali festivas for sale for sure. stick around
