Just Wanna say Love driving my festiva everyday

I love the feeling you get from opening the door and smelling that festy smell. Just the stock plastics, fabrics, etc. Because of my age, and the many years driving them I get a great nostalgic feeling of my prime years. So many good times in a festy.

I really like getting back into a festy after not driving one for a little while for whatever reason. It's such a a sweet relief.

I got wood from readin that. I need a cig. ;>)

At our age, the ease of getting in and out of a Festy is also a plus. Also, plenty of room in back to carry band equipment!

Prime years! Your just a kid. Talk to me about your prime years when you have 20 - 25 more years under your belt!

I guess I consider prime to be 18-25.

Well everyone I had an injury while skimboarding the big waves of Sandy 2 weeks ago , to my left knee and couldnt drive my car for a week and a half! it was killing me watching it sit and collect dirt. But today I got my results back from MRI and my ability to bend knee is back still with some trouble. So I washed the car and wheels and went for a drive in the nice cool weather

Here's what happen to my knee

My festy is my only car and I still love driving it everyday. Just when you think your car is complete and you've done all that you want to do..... you think of 10 more things you'd like to do to it. It's like a lego car.

[skimsucka]

even more reason to love romping around in my festy , a fella at work with 2010 evo he just bought 6 months ago has to drop 1000$ to replace his stock clutch that just gave after 75k ahahah so happy my car cost 1000$ and gets more attention!

Winning.

I get a smile every time i feel that Festiva super lightweight handling, noticably well built mechanical smoothness, magically powerful 63 horsepower acceleration...

I also find it hilarious when i pull up next to a truck at a red light and pull ahead just through normal acceleration ( shifting at 3k ). Especially when i hear them give it more gas to pass me because they don't want to think they wasted all that money on a big "powerful" gas guzzling truck that can't beat a miniature car. :highly_amused:

Before i got my Festiva, i was REALLY into Hondas. I had the highest rated del Sol Si in Missouri on cardomain.com and that Festiva is 5 times more fun to drive than the del Sol ever was.

Here's the cardomain link to my old Sol. Click the pics for much higher resolution. The low res pictures don't do it justice.

The website suffered a major crash 3 years ago and it really messed up my profile. I was so aggravated when it happened that i haven't used the website since. I'm not sure what my rating is now.

It's a crying shame that they're no longer reliable/maintenance-free like they were 20 years ago. Unless you're dedicated and persistent it's tough to keep one on the road as a daily driver, especially up in salt country where corrosion is inevitable and relentless. I love driving Festys but some time soon I'm going to have to get a life and spring for a newer vehicle for everyday use and then hang on to one Festy as a seasonal fun car. I have three running ones at the moment and the best one has been oil-sprayed since day one and has purposely not been out in the winter for the past 2 years.

I missed this thread, but I'm right there with you guys. Love DDing all of my Festivas.

How many festivas broke down on the way to festiva madness? They are still way way dependable. Disproportionately so for for their age. I'm driving an 88. I pulled it out of a 2 year retirement. I didn't even have to tune it up.

I get thumbs up all the time.. People dont see clean festiva's period. They are always all beat up and you cant see the lettering. I ride it everywhere cause i know no matter what happens i will never be stuck at a red light with the same car!

Got a thumbs up this morning at the airport..
