  • Rough and TUMBLE drive home!

    Here are some pics of my brothers Festy. My Niece was driving home from visiting with family Christmas night and lost control on the slushy roads. The driver side door could not open and her friend was able to help her out of his side. They were both very fortunate to come out unhurt. They were wearing their safety belts. After seeing this I will never forget to put my seat belt on again. I truly believe the seat belts saved them.

      Every car I have owned has had a turbo in it, until I bought this latest festiva.. I plan to fix that though.

                      You guys were driving that car when i picked up the blue one. My brother roled a s-10 and into a ditch and and it looked about the same with the roof touching the wheel, but he was okay.

                          Car needs a new rear beam, so Im guessing its flucked up to chop the top, but Im really happy no one was hurt.

                            hey just to cheer ya up, get some duct tape, a hammer and some bailing wire. if it cant be fixed with any combination of those 3 items it cant be fixed =). hey nows a time to be the first duct tape festy.

                            man that sucks again man, and also again, glad they got out w/o gettin hurt
