  • RIP My Festy PIC festy seatbelt approved

    Well I have been having a bad week yesterday i went fishing and parked my truck and trailer on the side of the road in a gated community came back and it was towed that was 330$ they cut my trailer lock and charged me separate for each and then tonight delivering pizzas this







    I will say I'm Perfectly fine thanks to a festiva seat belt!!! wear it .

    I was following a group of 4 cars in front of me on a delivery down a 2 way semi main rd. I and the cars in front of me came to a stop and go motion 4 times in a row, due to the front driver doing what the ..... idk. So he pulled off road and the rest of us go buy, as I went by him he jumped back on the road really close to me and cut a car off that was further back. I was watching this part in my rear view and this is when I looked forward and the Jeep in front of me stopped again I had no time to hit the brakes brace or anything just said you all know .... and bang

    Got out talked to driver she was cool a fellow delivery driver her jeep was fine it had a hitch on it! she took my number neither of us wanted cops involved and I was happy to get out of all this in great shape and pulled my car around the corner and had my buddy come drag me home

    I don't know why but I haven't even been angry through all this just trying to roll with it things have to come around sometime

              Looks fixable. I doubt it would ever be show room perfect but it would still carry on as a pizza delivery car

                  that's gonna be a heck of a repair bill. the bumper is easy to replace, but the chassis damage may be too much to be worth it. i can see from the pic that the front bumper attachment is gonna be wrinkled and that affects the structual integrity in a very bad way.
                  Trees aren't kind to me...

                  currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
                  94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

                    Reminds me of this...

                    was pushed into the back of a Jeep too. On yours and mine you can see where the hitch hit and you have the same hole punched in the bumper from the exhaust pipe!

                        Well I hope you learned your lesson. Don't text and drive. Cause that is the root of all evil. And don't go fishing cause it causes cancer.

                            Glad you're okay Skim. Maybe after taking it apart it will be deemed repairable, or at least enough to be a good backup car.
