    That's a nice truck for sure, but i'd hate to pay the gas bill on that bad boy

    1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
    1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
    2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

    1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

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

          The more insecure the personality the bigger the decorations they flaunt. Money only helps to exaggerate that philosophy.
          'Course the downside is I've never had blonde bimbos attracted to anything I own, even my practical old farm truck.

              6 years ago I was in a long line of cars and trucks in the standby lane for the Newfoundland to Nova Scotia ferry. Once the boat was fully laden an attendant singled me out of that line with the call: "We've only got space left for half a car, and you qualify". That caused a reverse case of vehicle envy amongst the folks that had to wait another 12 hours for the next boat. But by then my 2 kids, dog, and mountain of camping gear were on-board and headed back to Ontario.

                        For sure. That's the kind of truck you'd have to make money running, or it's not worth having. However, all the good ol' boys would have a peein' contest over it for sure.

                          The festiva is great for parking in places other people can't!




                          Oh and one funny story I have about Festiva vs Big truck D-Bag.....

                          I pulled up along the passenger side of a decked out lifted f250 diesel blaring terrible radio rock I'm a wannabe mma fighter music, at a red light, and was minding my own business. When the driver leans over his girlfriend riding shotgun, and yells, "haha damn boy that thing is small, I couldn't ever drive something like that, I'm a real man and I gotta have a real man's truck". I quickly and sarcasticly replied.."Oh I completely understand, I mean just looking at your truck I can tell you have morbidly gigantic penis! Am I right?" And his girlfriend started laughing histerically and was shaking her head saying no! And then held up her thumb and pointer finger giving the "little wee wee" sign. The driver got completely tongue tied and came back with.."man whatever" and punched it when the light went green.
