As the speedometer cable for the Festiva slowly wears out - after 257,000 miles, I suppose it's allowed to wear a bit, I see some "interesting" speeds. The speedometer needle bounces around the speed that you're going, with occassional bursts of 75 - 85 mph being reported. Needless to say, it's not good to be have to answer the question "How fast were you going?" with "Somewhere between 35 and 60".
A GPS is a wonderful thing. It not only tells you where you are, but how fast you're getting there. So proudly mounted in the instrument panel cluster of the Festiva is the portable Garmin GPS. And yes, some duct tape was required... picture forthcoming...

Heh heh... Yeah. and the GPS is the most valuable thing about the car. and we already know how easy it is to open the car since you can use basically any key (or a handy can opener) to unlock it.
