        You are right! It seems to me that a large majority of broken down Festivas stem from improper maintenance or basic neglect. If you do the regular maintenance and keep it clean it will last you forever.

          When I said 'dedicated and persistent' to keep these cars going I wasn't kidding. My DD has been mostly maintenance-free for over a year but only thanks to 'hanging a real number on it' for a month. Not every old car owner out there replaces entire suspensions/brakes and bearings just for the helluvit. It is irritating things like dizzies quitting suddenly on the highway and fuel pumps that lose their fizzle, that tempt ordinary folks to look to something newer.

            And to that I say, "Ni!" If parts are available and I can fix the car, I will!
