        I do recognize that fact. Just having some tongue-in-cheek verbal fun.
        A Festiva has the aerodynamics of a red brick.

        Focustiva: Because I was told it was was impossible to fit a Focus bumper on a Festiva.

          It's got a pretty standard cD and small A, so while it needs improvement, it's not overall terrible.

            • Since late Thursday, pulled the fuel injectors off Boopstiva, and cleaned some of the crud out of her gas tank.



              Some of the crud in a box. Injectors are soaking, planning on blowing them out Monday. Fingers crossed she starts afterwards...

              Installed a white face Instrument Cluster sam.1956 hooked me up with at NCStiva. Looks cool. Did I mention it has a TACH?! Put that bad boy in baby car!

              Booyah, baby!

              Sam, you can't break 80???

              Aerodynamics= Me a dummy. I would think that lessening the gap between the bottom of the car and the road would improve things.

                • It is true (for the most part) that lowering the car will increase your MPG.......That being said, there are many things you could do that are easier, lol........

                      • Snagged a set of capri xr2 axles at the local Pic-a-part for my shell, got a sohc vaccum distributer that I van lock out for the ms setup I'm getting for turbo car. First time I ever got everything I wanted on a trip.
                        Im not driving a Festiva because I'm poor. I drive a Festiva because i want to!

                            He laughed and asked if I had lifted it some more!! Ha!!
