            My Festiva is my only driver and it's the second car I've owned ever! I technically don't own it though because the title is in my mom's name and I didn't really pay for it!

                  Mine was my first car, my dad drove it since 92 and passed it on to me. When I graduated high school, my gf's stepdad gave me a ranger he bought that I fixed the tranny on, so he gave it to me instead of paying me lol. Drove the festiva until I swapped a 5.0 into the ranger and now drive that since it's winter now and my truck warms up in like 5 minutes and I gave the festy back to my dad. I now got another one in the garage that I'm putting the motor back in but that might take a while since I didn't pull the tranny with it and I never have time to get out there to finish putting it together, but it will be done before snow hits hard here... I hope.

                      the festy isnt a only car but it is our daily driver.. 700+ miles a week, 7 days a week. tranny is starting to slip but we still drive it any way the other car only stays in town and doesnt move much (is it legal to neglect a car? LOL)

                        Not my only but it's what i drive 99.9% of the time. I have a '98 Cherokee that the GF/kids cruise around in and i drive if a blizzard hits or if we all need to go out together. I also have an '85 Mustang but it's a toy/drag car/stress reliever

                        By the way, ^^^ That's 99.9% city driving :cool:

                              Haha, nice Fresh! My first festy was my only car for a while, and then I was solely driving hulkstiva for a while until he went down for a heart transplant. Thinking about getting another for my dd so I don't have to worry about the civic getting stolen AGAIN! I pull the ecu from the civic every night just for piece of mind, haha. Don't know what I would do with the civic then....where to store/park it etc.
