  • Almost lost/wrecked the Festiva tonight

    I just got home from my friends house, on the way home some idiot was tailgaiting me. When I looked in my mirror to see how close he was, then looked up again there were 6-8 deer crossing the street. I locked up the brakes how I missed the deer and didn't get rearended by the idiot behind me I don't know. Sure made my heart rate go up! I am glad someone was looking out for me!

            well i'm glad to hear everything is all right, with you and the car.
            i'd hate to see what kind of damage a deer you do to a festiva and whoever is driving it

            If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

              Theres quite a few pics of deer damage on here. My accident with a geo looked better.

                    or the new thing riding 40mph in the 65mph zone with NOBODY in the right lane! and they wont pull over blow the horn, flash the lights, nothing.
                    the left lane is for passing only morons.

                      That will get them a ticket in Illinois now , just hanging in the fast lane holding up traffic .
                      Just get a air horn , that will get their attention :lol:

                            I say park the ride and wait for the summer. You have put alot of work in your car and it's very clean. Trust me, I'm out of an extra $300 because the guy I got my car from decided to take it out after I gave him a down payment. So the first stop for my project is the body shop.
