    About broke my ankle stepping out of Chuck. Didn't realize how low he sits compared to Festevil since I rarely park them next to each other and when I do its on a hill so not much good for comparison. I think Evil must have Aspire springs on him, because they are both running KYBs but Chuck sits a lot lot lower (stock festiva springs on him). I hadn't drove him for a couple weeks and I felt like I was in the Miata or a corvette compared to Festevil!

    Made the decision to sell. :/

    Too many other projects, and someone else will definitely do it better than I would. I'm just not as interested as I was before, I guess.

    Drove it 50-60 miles, ticking seems to be gone, as does the whining, but it's wet out.

    Well it runs much better now, but the whistling/whining is still there. Have no idea what it is.

    100 miles ain't nothing, lol I run well over that in a 3 to 4 night of pizza. And that doesn't count getting to and from work either. Oh well, at least I'm already a mile a way when I get off from my day job during the week

    Today I fixed one of the brake wear indicator tabs on Green Car that had started dragging because it wasn't riveted on very well

    Well I got the paper route! This one is 63 miles a day, PLUS it's clear on the other end of town so I'll probably be putting 100 miles a day on the festiva. Figured I'd do some inspecting. I found that the whistling seems to be coming from a loose exhaust component, and I also found one of the spark plugs wasn't even finger tight!!

    Filled mine up, as a tough guy in a Super Duky diesel dualie sat on the other side of the pump and watched. You know, at first I thought I had paid too much for my Festy, till I realized his oil change would cost more than my car.:p

    Installed a new heater blower motor. For anyone doing the same, especially if you have A/C, I discovered that unbolting the gas pedal bracket gives you a lot more wiggle room.

    Looks like i'm soon to be in a paper route nearly double the size of my last one.... Get ready festiva!!!


    Hope the engine lasts..... It's getting tired. Burning more and more oil. I have the spare engine from festiva 2 though. I've never done an engine swap. Is it hard? Do I need a lift for a festiva engine?

    What do you mean snowstorm? Its 70* outside! Today I renewed the tags and paid taxes on my festivas... under $100 for all four of them! Plus another $70 for the van, trailer and Miata. Miata was the worst, tax was like... $16 lol. Festivas were less than $5/ea on the taxes. Love my cars!
