I would like to start a thread where users can post pictures of Festivas in accidents, duress and trauma. This is not meant to offend anyone, just serve as an example of what could possibly happen.
My son was driving at the time and was hit at about 60km/hr (36MPH) while stopped at a red light. The impact drove the car into the back of the Jeep Cherokee in front. If you look closely you can see where the Jeep's trailer hitch and exhaust pipe made their impression in the Festiva bumper. The back end of the car was equally "modified" with the result of being unable to open the hatch.

He got it worse than me when i was rearended. in the first festiva I had I was in neutral at an intersection and a car slammed into my rear end. I got shot across the intersection. No damage to the car. Good thing it was late at night.

I was on a website looking at hundreds of crashes.
Their "Show us your crash pics" is more popular than our "What have you done to your Festiva lately"
my first festiva with the 3 accidents it was in wasn't driving a friend was each separate time. 1st time 4 foot drop off into a ditch at 20mph bent frame and bumper into front passenger wheel, second time another ditch 15mph but hit a big fence post but nothing happend just knocked it over and got high centered, 3rd time rear ended at 30mph I was at a stop by my friend in a montie carlo bent rear drivers fender to the rim. this pic was after I bent the bumper back 5" lol
