Retired my 1990 festiva. Best car I ever had.

1990 Ford Festiva
My festiva finally "gave up the ghost." I couldn't find an ignition switch to replace the broken one I had. The rear tail lamps and brake lights had been hot wired shortly before that. The car had 300K miles on it. I paid $500 for it in 2005. I made money driving it. Few people can say that about a car. I had one wreck that wasn't my fault. My uninsured paid me $300, and I kept … on driving. So I essentially drove a $200 car for 18 years.
I just purchased a 2016 Fiesta (also by Ford) for $3500. Initially, I thought I had messed up buying it. I found out Ford had a recall on the DPS transmission. The transmission fault light was on. I couldn't get it to go out. No one around here knows how to operate an engine code machine at O'Reilly's or Advance. So I bought a Fix'd code reader and cleared the fault myself. Cost me $20 but was well worth it.
My old Festiva wasn't equipped with the code reader capability since it was not computerized. That started in 1996. But I had to make the jump to the next generation of vehicles against my will.
I still have my first car -- a 1940 Chevrolet Special Deluxe. I paid $90 for it in 1969. It runs fine. My neighbor sold me a 1970 Ford shortbed F-100. And it still runs fine, too! I doubt many of these new cars will ever be running as long as they have.
