    I just picked up this zippy little go cart about a week ago. It’s a 1990 Ford Festive, basically it's a Mazda 121 with Ford badges. I love this thing! It’s fast fun to drive and it has a real SOHC Mazda 4 banger in it.

    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    hate to burst your bubble, but if you look under the hood you will see your car was made in Korea by Kia. First car they ever made for US sale.

    Burst my bubble? I’ve had three of these little gems. The Mazda 121, Kia Pride and the Ford Festival are the same car. Kia and Mazda are one in the same. Just about every Kia made in the last 23 years is a Mazda or has a Mazda drive train.

    The spectra to 2004 and the old sephia, yes, but anything since then is Kia/ Hyundia despign. The sportage is sand alone too. The 3.5 that Kia used up to 05/06 was a Mitsubishi design. Kia bought the design under contracts, like theny did for the Lotus Elan, built a Korean version.

    Okay, suffeciently threadjacked at this point.

    Okay, recent vehicle brought home, this year, 2008 Kia Sportage, 2009 Kia Rio, 2010 Kia Soul, 2009 Kia Borrego. I don't want to go into last year
