When they put me in charge of overseeing this campground and mixed-use recreational area, they told me to be on the lookout for gangs of street racers. Toughs. You know.
One sleepy July morning, I was roused from my semi-slumber by the sound of the red phone ringing. Red meant bad. Red meant impending or active threats in the park. I picked it up immediately. It was the Commissioner. He was commissioning me, like a DeviantArt user trying to get someone to paint Sonic the Hedgehog yellow and put him in a diaper.
Before long, I was on my feet, and the John Deere Gator 6x6 was in gear. My beloved steed, its fiber-reinforced-plastic fairings flapped in the wind as I snapped and popped my way through the underbrush. The brutal power of the 850cc four-stroke became all too apparent as the rear end stepped out over a rise, and only my deft stewardship of the steering wheel was able to force it back into line. Down, girl, I said, don’t kill us yet.
As I burst out of the bush into onto a mountain biking path, scattering Lance Armstrong cosplayers left and right, I caught a glimpse of my quarry. Street racers. In their bright red, yellow and turquoise blue glory.
I hit the deer sirens on the Gator. I figured it was close enough to a real siren. My sidearm shook in his hip holster.
“STOP,” I screamed, “REFRAIN FROM THIS UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY.”
It was sicker than I thought. A Ford Festiva meet. My head reeled.
Before the day was out, I’d received citations for bravery and internal affairs investigations, in equal numbers. It turns out that a man can only see so many channeled and chopped Ford Festiva road racers in one place before he goes mad.
Me, I’m just glad I got out of there before the next weekend’s Geo Metro meet.

Apologies to Westiva , the local Festiva meet. You guys are the right kind of twisted.

But.....that red car in the background with the black hood and the foglights isn’t a Festiva at all! It’s better than a Festiva! It’s a JDM imported Subaru Vivio RX! :D

Vivio RX R , actually. I think they just let it hang out with the Festivas because it was lonely.

I knew it was an RX-R or RX-RA, I just didn’t know which as they look pretty much the same, hence why I said RX to narrow it to those models! :)
Poor lonely Vivio...

It’s okay, there are some Honda Beats and Suzuki Cappuccinos it can hang out with back in town. It’s stolen the kei to my heart.
