      We drive ours daily, it is our work horse.
      An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

        Never heard of anything better than 36 in an auto festy. 33 is what I always get with my auto.
        I drove one today. I drive one of mine or one I'm working on almost everyday.

          Daily driver during the summer, me and Farmstiva average about 180 km/day (around 110 miles) 5 days a week, so almost 2500 miles a month. When I got Farmstiva, her speedo was at 217,000 kms, it just pushed past 284,000 the other day.. so almost 42,000 miles since we started off together a couple of years back.

          It'd be more except I have this weird cold weather issue where things start to smell like acetone from the exhaust, timing seems to go off, and "Check Engine" light goes on if the engine doesn't just sputter and die. Over last winter, had to park her until April and it warmed into the 30 degree F range again..

          '09 Ford F-150
          '80 Chrysler LeBaron Town and Country
          '80 Volvo 240 2dr coupe

          '93 Festiva GL
          225996.9 kilometers = 140428.0 miles on the odometer
          ...and definitely more soon..

            Bought my Festiva in February and since I got it running that month, I don't think it has gone more than 18 hours without being driven. No more than 24 hours for sure.
            Buck.

              Im driving Frankenstiva now, its my summer driver. The others have some dust and cobwebs on them. I had my car Freshtiva out for an hour one day this past spring while working on some lighting in the shop. First time it had been out in over a year. A limb fell on it and put a ding in the roof.

                I traded my Festiva on 10/30/10 for my WRX... I kinda miss it, but love my WRX too much.

                  I drive mine an average of 700 miles a week every week. My a/c is ripped out and it reaches 100 degrees here in south Texas almost dailey, but it is so fun to drive that I don't care. I even pick up material in it at work. We have a 2008 f350 with perfect a/c but I still prefer to drive my car.

                    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                            Took mine out of commission 2 weeks ago for some final welding on the front core support, a coolant leak, some paint work, a chipped ecm sent off waiting to arrive and a manual boost controller.

                            I miss driving red rocket though...
