Excellent thread revival!

In chronological order:
1989 Chevy Cavalier 4 door, 4 cyl. Totaled in a bout of 16 year old reckless driving.
1989 Ford Escort Pony Automatic. Sold when I got Festiva Fever.
1992 Ford Festiva L. Best $100 bucks I ever spent. Sold it a year and a half later for $650. Still miss it.
1988 Lincoln Town Car. Low mileage old lady car, sold it because it was painful to fill the tank. 18 MPG FTL
1993 Ford Tempo. Never really drove it, bought it as a gas saver to replace the Lincoln. Was slowly dying one problem at a time, so I sold it.
1997 Ford Taurus Wagon. Old family hand me down. My grandpa bought it new, passed it onto my parents, who passed it on to me. Going to be my brother's car soon if it lasts.
1989 Ford Festiva L Plus. Feels so right to have a Festiva again. And I want MORE!

Only seven, and mostly Fords, but I'm only 22. I'll get into double, and probably triple digits before you know it when I have a real job.

1988 Festiva L
1989 Suzuki Katana 750
1991 Festiva GL

88 Ford Escort pony (Red 5 speed) killed that one. It did not die, I killed it.
74 Porsche 914 ( White w/black top,VW drive train)
73 VW SuperBeetle (Two tone grey on grey w/riviera rims)
88 Ford F-150 4x4 ( Beige custom cab long bed, LOVED that truck)
93 Toyota Rav4 (Purple w/dents HATED that truck)
85 GMC Jimmy 4x4 (Two tone white on rust)
88 Ford Festiva L (Red w/absolutely no options)
71 VW SuperBeetle (Green w/custom interior)
90 Ford Festiva L+ (silver w/ LOTS of options)

[shawnw]

Wow, some pretty impressive lists here. Mine may not be too big but I'm only 21.

1991 Dodge Dakota V8- Sold back to my dad
1977 Lincoln Town Car- Sold to a guy who put 15,000 miles on it in one year (big gas bill)
1969 VW Bus Westfalia- Sold to some kid who probably destroyed it
1966 VW Beetle- Sold to drug dealer with more money than brains
1978 Lincoln Mark V DJE- Sold and is now a really nice lowrider
1985 Ford F-250- Sold and is hauling firewood in the mountains
1995 Ford F-350 Crew Cab- Sold and is hauling a camper full time
1992 Ford Festiva- Still have it
2007 Hyundai Accent- Still have it
1979 VW Westfalia- Pick it up on wednesday

I hope the current three will stay that way for quite a while. Buying, selling and fixing takes up alot of time and money and I need to start concentrating on more adult things like buying a house and RRSPs'

I always wanted a 4wd Justy. How does it compare to a Festiva in overall performance and driveability?
