Festiva!!!!!

[ElKy]

Jess and I met up with Andy for lunch today and i snapped a pic of his latest winter beater.
1989 Festiva
fully loaded including power mirrors, rear wiper and washer, and it is even sporting factory alloy wheels...12"ers!

then we saw this in the parking lot....
i figured goonz would love the lighting choice!

i love the locking gas door on the festiva...like its worth stealing the 3 gallons that thing holds, haha

Thats one nasty off-road honda you got there.

 

[ElKy]

exactly!
he said he can fill the tank with about $8!
and it gets 30mpg!

anybody got a gray rear seat they wanna get rid of?
the original owner took it out when he bought it and lost in in a move.

hes gonna let people sit back there??? are they vertically challenged?

Now I remember. Isnt that the car they gutted and built up for the strong man competition. It weighed something like 900 lbs after it was gutted. I bet it gets good gas mileage though. I can run faster than that thing!!!

now this i want to see. haha

not really, but it will help the resale value of the car!
hahah

mainly he wants it to help quiet down the road noise a little.


the car weighs under 2000lbs and has a 1.4L...it actually moves pretty good!

lol Andy!
I never would have expected that in a million years.
I bet it does some kick ass slides in the snow.

[frenchblueC2]

[baco99]

I hate you at the moment ...

Resale value? Is there such a thing with Festivas? :laugh: Mine was the same color. If I didn't sell mine I would have gladly given up the seat.

They are light and do cruise just fine, but I'll be damned if they aren't scarry on the highway. Spending any time next to a big rig is sketchy at best. But 1.3L of pure power will get you to 75mph without too much trouble.

 

[ElKy]

well, considering what he has into the car...almost anything will be profit!

 

[ElKy]

i forgot to mention he bought it off the original owner with 68K miles on it.

I swear, I'm ready to throw my summer wheels back on. My Blizzaks are racking up miles for no reason.

A little old lady who drove it to the supermarket and back? It looks like it is in decent shape too. Good find on his part. How long until a B6T is in it?
