        I'm pretty southern. Zip is 25650 if you're curious enough to google it or something.

        More sad stories? I was only counting ones I see drive on the road. I've been trying to get a great body 8X for years that my family is determined to let rot to the ground(they can't find the keys and it's blocked in by other cars), and I know of one black one in a mix of a bunch of other junkers about an hour from me that hasn't moved in years, and a green one in the same shape. People just won't let go of them even if they obviously aren't going to use them.
        Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

          Have you tried your keys? Often times our keys work on several other festivas. Maybe that will motivate them??

              It really sounds like just an excuse to hold onto it. I could swap out the whole column if it really came down to it. Some people just pointlessly hold onto things for dear life.

                    Don't get me wrong. I understand it if they had more of them and needed parts, but it hasn't run in years and it won't run now, but they'd rather have a yard ornament than sell it. They just like to look at it I guess. I don't know.

                      I know where there are about 15 festivas sitting at 3 or 4 different locations. The current owners will never do anything with them, but they won't let them go either. Doesn't stop me from trying, tho.

                          I don't see any on my commute but that's because of my hours. Do see a few driving around on my days off though. Saw a green one going west on I70 on Friday around Columbia. Used to see alot of Aspires around KCK. But that's because the mexicans needed something cheap drive after arriving here illegally. They must of got better jobs rarely see one now.
