    I just bought my dream car since wanting one back in 1994. A 1991 white 5M w/162000 miles. I love it. Wife thinks I'm crazy.

    Welcome!

    Is that a factory spoiler I see? or just the camera playing tricks on me? :p

    Nice and rust free body and extremely clean interior. NICE!

    Replace those headlights with rust free ones, and get a nice set of alloy wheels on there and it will really sharpen it up. If there is one thing I believe always lets down a Festiva is the 12" steel wheels. I personally have a set of 13" Konigs on mine.

                An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

                  Looks to me like he may be from Washington from plates on car. They say Tacoma.

                    Yeah, I'm from Washington. Lacey to be exact. Buddy of mine is doing maintenance on it and cleaning it up for me this week. He just spent 10 hours today washing it, waxing and cutting. It looks like a different car from when I bought it. It had been stored in a field for 10 years.

                    My addiction is this though.....
