I could use it around here. Screw'em I'll build a Festiva tow truck with a scale size version of a Holmes 550 Boom in the back. That will give them something to rant on for awhile.

"Long story short, someone in Brazil, Indiana, took a Ford Festiva, which is one of the weeniest little cars ever to set go-kart sized wheels on American roads, and turned it into a dump truck with a hauling capacity of about 47 pounds. WTF indeed.

We're nearly at a loss for words. Anything more than a wheelbarrow or two worth of stone, manure, body parts, GI Joe action figures, or granola would force this "truck" into a wheelstand and render it useless as the front wheels pull it along. We're not sure of the load range on the radials spinning on 13-inch wheels, but we'd say it's not E."

I can hear Paul's blood boiling already :mrgreen:


Obviously, they have no clue as to what our cars are capable of.

I think that car was for sale on CL here in Indiana several months back

Somebody needs to quit trying to sell it and join all of us! Is it bad that I'm not surprised that that's from Indiana?
