What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[neanderpaul]

Thieves are why I love factory or old cassette decks. Cassette adapter and an iPod and you are good to go with no temptation for the thieves.

Glad you survived that one crazyrog!

I was helping a friend with his car, we were getting parts at Autozone, a short glassy-eyed guy walked in and asked if I owned the 'Fiesta'. I said I did and he offered me one for free...

Too good to be true, right? "It runs and drives, same year, darker blue, automatic, 130K! etc...) We walked out to the parking lot and he kept talking, said he had to get rid of the 13 cars he was storing at a guys house that owed him money. The guys neighbors were calling the cops and they had to go. It sounded halfway legit. He told me he needed a ride a few miles down the road but said I could take it today. The story kept changing as he kept on talking (in my backseat...) and asked if he could have $20 to borrow his brother in law's tow truck to drop it off. He persistently asked if we thought he was good for the $20 so I made a quick yuwee and dumped him. So glad I didn't die today.

Spiko, did you cut a hole and mount them on top of the stock locations? What head unit did you get? I like this stuff, moar pictures!

Glad you didn't die today either.

I purchased this radio to replace the one that was stolen. It's nothing fancy but I really like it. I don't need the CD player since I always plug my iPod in or my Samsung Galaxy S II & stream with Google Music. I purchased it for $30 shipped from Amazon with prime. Looks like it's a little more now.

The 6.5" speakers are some cheap Pioneer's that came bundled with the last radio I purchased for my other car. At the moment they're just resting in my back seat until I do a more permanent install. Most likely I'll use the cargo cover I have or build a new one and that's where they'll be mounted.

Picked up my wheels... I STOLE these things. All brand new in box except the one he opened to take the pic I posted. Picked up a set of four 155/80R13s on the way home for $179.84 including tax. Can't wait to get them mounted up and then on the car. I probably won't balance them unless they just vibrate like crazy. This will probably be mainly a pizza car anyway so it won't see freeway speeds much, and I don't want to hammer weights on there if I don't have to Also got an Ipod touch for $60 in excellent shape. All in all, a good day! Not to mention its just shy of 70 outside, with a light breeze! God is Awesome!

Getcha nuthern?

[htchbck]

Sexy! Yeah I'm so excited bout those wheels only about an hour left!

[All systemz]

Fuelled up this morning, first time since just before Christmas.
Went from 36mpg to 30mpg ugh!

[Flyin4stroke]

One of the managers at NAPA has a Lightning in that body style/color.

Yeah I have one too, gas is too much so it sits mostly.
Love that generation truck. Those are some clean 13's. Can't get too off track back to stiva's.

[htchbck]

what about the 175 60 13s mentioned, to hard to get?

Want them sooner rather than later ( shipping), and the 155/80s are $38 at walmart, didn't check the 175/70s last time but the last ones I bought (about 6 months ago) were $42. A good bit cheaper than the 175/60s and much quicker too

[91mcnasty]

those look nice!

I agree Paul, I love them too, probably would have paid his full asking price, but I like my $50 off and he'll drive halfway to meet me better

What size ya'll think? If its gonna be more than $10/ea difference ($40 for the set) I'll go with the cheaper 155/80s for sure, but if the prices are close I might go for the 175, I like them a lot on Chuck, but I've been getting killer gas mileage with Green Car on the 155/80s, even straight by the speedo before adjusting for the size.

Danny not sure of the brand, but I think they are likely the same brand as the ones on IdealSociety's car... umm, $200? :lol:
