  • Well I saved one at least. Picked it up this morning



    I recommend using the car dolly for hauling, rents for $40 and makes it real easy. Car was 22 miles away. It took one hour total to pick it up and get it home. Couldnt even tell I was pulling anything. Im downloading more pictures now. I'll post in a little while.

    My $100 festiva (1993 GL ) Future FOTM maybe. Im sure it had alloys at one time. I found out the history on the car. I remember it sitting where the P.O. use to work. I always liked it, being a blue GL, didnt know it was an auto though. If was on the road a year ago. It needs a thanksgiving related name.

    The only bad thing about dollys is you can not back them up very far, a few feet at most. A small car trailer is one of the best investments you can make if you plan on playing with cars alot.

    No spitters were I work, you swallow it all. The Company feels if you already have it in your mouth why waste it.

      They dont back good for sure. I backed this one up about fifty yards but there was a lot of "straightening out" . It would work a lot better if you could lock the pivot on the dolly straight.

          Turktiva?

          I've had more miles put on a rented dolly than I'd like. Not one was to get a car I didn't already own.


          Take it back to the back porch, join the 3 string revolution.

            looks like a good beater for 100 bucks!

            dollys are great, i bought one new 3 yrs ago on sale for $550, and with no maintainence it has over 60 tows on it. the nice part with a dolly is if you need the straighten it out, just pick up half of it and drag it over.

              Give ya $300 for it!

              It would save me a lot of time and paint.
              (I plan on painting mine blue)
              Plus I would love to have a rear wiper but don't really trust installing one myself.

              Or if you would consider it I would give you your $100 back and give you my festiva!

              eh, eh?

                      i had i hard time getting the wheel straps tightened up on the tires when i got #2. 12in. wheels pssh. (i really love them)
                      it'll do the 1/8 in 13.7, spin tires, and make all my drunk buddies giggle.

                              There are forty acres on the festiva ranch, so Ive got room for a few more.

                              Ive named festivas after the people I got them from. I got this one from a guy named Tom. So Tom might be fitting for a Thanksgiving name. You know like a male ( Tom ) Turkey.

                              I get the small straps and fully inflate the tires. Its just enough to work.

                              That would be a long way to come get a car. It has a very solid body and factory A/C though. The A/C system has pressure still and the compressor turns freely.
