    Thanks for the compliments. Took awhile to find identical red ones, in standard trans. Junked the blue GL when the 3rd red one came up. Difficult to find clean ones, especially up here (Ottawa, Ontario) where the salt has eaten away virtually all of the daily-driver Festivas. These ones are still in good shape because they've been oil-sprayed right from the start. 250K on all of them because they're driven in rotation.
    One of these days I'll decide to get a life.

    I've been driving my festy as a dd for over 2 yrs now and wouldint trade it for the world! Well maybe a ford gt-tt! I prefer to drive my festy over my jeep bc of mileage and the tires on the festy aren't 450$ each lol

    Mine's been my only car since my mom gave it to me in 2001 after high school. I love it and am going to cry when it eventually dies, but hope to get another 100k miles out of it at least. I love it even more when I have to fill up a tank on a full size car *cringe*.

    Still wish you could too, but I am not hurt about it. I am trying to convince my wife instead of getting another car payment or a different DD, we should just put my other (3rd) festiva on the road that needs some work as it gets good gas mileage and would save us from more debt for another car. She just can't wrap her head around a vehicle that is 20 years old getting her safely around without worrying about it breaking down. It is annoying really to try and win the argument because it is hard to find parts sometimes, but Festivas are the only cars I have ever owned that I truly trust. ...for the most part.
    Solution: Sell all aftermarket race parts off the "Roller" and use massive amounts of profit to fix up the DD. Then install a diamond ring and she will agree.
