There's No Better Forum...

Not to take away from the quality of the people here, but I do think the Festiva itself has something to do with it. It's the type of people that the Festy attracts. I spend some time on some Mustang forums, and sadly, the vulgar language, sexual content, egos and lack of respect for others seems to coincide with the "Fast & Furious" type and age group of enthusiasts.

Sorry, no offense meant to our younger members and those that have migrated here from the "tuner" side. It's nice to have a blend from the different facets of life! It keeps things fresh!

The problem isnt tuning or mods , its the attitude/age.

And the younger , the worst it gets. Hondas , Volks , Mustangs, These cars are produced so massively , it attacts massive amount of ''enthousiasts'' , and amongst them , a massive amount of kids that have nothing else to say but idiotic stuff - cause they donno squat (about the car in general- specially when its time to get your hands dirty.)

I'm not afraid to admit that Fast and the Furious is probably why I like cars Pheonix Sho has it right, most people my age wouldn't be caught dead in a Festiva. It takes a different kind of mentality to drive a Festiva(I like to think a smart one). I have yet to find anyone my age that actually knows what their talking about when it comes to cars.

I hate the "kid" attitude and mentality.

I love FordFestiva.com

I'm not going to lie... I don't know much at all about working on cars. But I love Festiva's and would say I am a car/festiva enthusiast. Fortunately the festiva community is much more willing to teach than others. Whats the point of a forum if everybody knows everything already?

I do agree though people really don't understand the Festiva. Especially younger people. I get these 15 year old kids talking crap about something they have no idea about haha. It can be irritating but eh there loss.

Hey I'm only 18 and I can assure you I'm a pretty level headed kid. I had a beautiful dodge ram truck, but bought a Festiva because I couldn't afford it. Now I sold the truck and might have two more festivas by next week. I love getting my hands dirty and accomplishing something under the hood. Not trying to get mad or get on your case about this, I just had to say not all us young kids are stupid tune kids. Lol just my two cents

Me neither. I'm 22. A guy at work once told me he put a turbo on his ranger over the weekend, then his excuse for not outrunning my neon was, "I didn't have it in overdrive or I would have taken you."

One older "backyard mechanic" I work with once asked me(when I told him one of my front tires was bald), "Is it on the pullin' side?" I couldn't even laugh. I just stared in disbelief thinking, "This guy works on his own cars?".

This is typical of the "car guys" I am around most times. This place is refreshing.
