        Get well soon man. Amazing that as hard as that hit was, the Festy still kept you alive. We will await your next build....

              Your Festy gave it's life so that you could live! I think you should honor it by transplanting it's heart into another body.

                Glad to hear you made it out of it man. Another one of my local(ish) buddies got his crunched recently by an F250 that ran a stop sign and Tboned him, rolled it over on its side :!:

                No festiva, but she will let you get a Miata? Don't show any pics of one of those that have been hit by something that big :!:

                BTW, I love Miatas!
                No festiva for me ATM...

                    With all the accidents that I'm seeing that end Festivas, I'm seriously considering building a low-profile roll cage in mine. I may do the same in my wife's, if it'll help her.

                      Glad you're okay sad to see a BP Festiva gone. This may be a dumb question but did it hurt bad or did the adrenaline keep the pain away.
