  • A Truly noteworthy festiva story!

    So i have been shopping for a festiva, i live in PA. finally found a perfect candidate for project sextiva .... 93 L , baby blue, manual trans. in maine, for 500 bux, runs and drives, so i get done work on friday, leave for maine @ 11:55pm , drove all night, go to maine @ 8:30, looked at this festiva loved it! , bought it , strapped a PA tag on it registered to a festy i own, drove it all the way back to PA , $35.00 in gas is all the festy needed. woo, so today i hit up the auto parts store grab a bunch of necessary items to do general maintenance, plugs,wires,pcs,bosh icon wipers, oil filter..etc... go home grab the festiva, decide to drive it the whopping 4 miles to my shop. 1 mile to go , im coming down a hill going through a green light and some jerk off makes a left turn right into the left side of the festiva , totals it ... :cry_smile::cry_smile::cry_smile::cry_smile:

    ...back to the drawing board

      What's with all the festiva crashes lately?!?!? This sucks but glad to hear your ok, cars can be fixed or replaced, people can't

      1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
      1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
      2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

      1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

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

                            That sucks big time.

                            Did you get any tickets from the ordeal??
                            Out here we would get popped for the wrong plates on an out of state car and no insurance. (the swapped plates would cancel the insurance)
