    My next swap will be to high performance fuzzy dice! I hope I don't strain myself opening the package and then mounting the new mod onto my rear view mirror.

        Already done!

        Pine trees are so "rice" now. I'd rather have a wing on my hood with Vin Diesel's face on it!

          This'll do ya.

            I don't know what they mean about having problems finding parts, I've never had a problem getting parts for my festiva. It was much harder trying to find parts for moms old metro (which was only about 5 years old at the time) or the metro i was going to get before i decided on a Festiva. I liked driving my friends 4banger metro around town (the one i was gonna buy before the motor went) But i think once i get the festiva back where it the suspension is right it will be more fun (340xxxmiles so a few worn suspension parts are expected)

Whatever you can stick in the engine bay. 1/8 & 1/4 mile, then a time trial on a circuit of some kind. Then a huge meet!
                    I think we should extend an invitation to their forum. We could give them the the location and date of our next big meet and invite any of their members that are in the area to attend. They could get familiar with the attributes of the Festiva first-hand and experience the quality and friendliness of our members.

                                Paul they are calling you out about the motor cycle! :O

                                I don't know about the one guy, talk about oblivious to the fact that just because he doesn't see them around him they must have all rusted away? I almost want to mention the fact that up here there are no metro's or Festivas, but I don't want to join the darkside haha.
