      My aspire addiction will end with the V6 itself, but then there is custom "mufflers" and a supercharger intake idea I've been having... oh and then there is body work and maybe an attempt to cover the plastic panels with some padded vinyl. Then I'll need plenty of frame reinforcements and a larger fuel cell, rear disk conversion plates, threaded rod sway bar mod... etc...

      so I guess it really never does end!

            There is no cure and it gets progressively worse. At first one car is all you need and then one day you find a good deal on another, and another, and another, until all you think about is the next big score. I'll have to get an updated pic of the driveway for you tomorrow

            AMEN BROTHA!!! Festivas are the closest thing to old school hot rodding I've found in a long time. All my other cars are easy; if I want an upgrade I can just open a catalog. Festivas are built in the theme of true hot rodding. If you want an upgrade you start looking at other donor cars and/or try to fabricate your own parts. Partially because you have to (just like back in the day), and partially because you WANT to :mrgreen:

                        1. The first step is to admit that you have a problem.
                        Okay im a addict. There i admitted it.

                          Some say addiction...I call it a passion. And in the case of Festies; it's also an investment :mrgreen:
