    When did the festiva become uncool?

    That question was posed on yahoo questions 8 hours ago. Google alerts let me know. I did my usual defend it to bitter end. Want to help with that?

      Good job Neanderpaul, defend and educate.
      An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

                    I don't know man. Part of the reason I'm into Festivas is because people don't consider them cool cars. Heck, I've never thought of them as cool. When my buddy would go on about them, I would just kinda be like "ya, whatever". He wore me down until I bought his when he got into other things. Now, I think that they are "cool" from my perspective, but to me it seems more of an acquired taste. If I want a cool car I'd go out and get a CRX. haha

                    btw, I love the term you used Paul, "cult following", yeeah! :thumbup:

                      Crx's are only cool in the oe, or tastefully modified configs... As soon as people start adding copious amounts of money spent from birthday gifts consisting entirely of auto zone gift cards, or buying/installing every "jdm" part they can find, including parts that were never original anywhere, including Japan, they get stupid.

                      It then takes years of patience and lots of money to rebuild one of the most economical and original sports cars in history back to its original glory.

                      Just my (completely biased) opinion.
