2000 Chevrolet Cavalier

About This Vehicle:

This car was purchased in 2000 when I needed something that was good on gas I did'nt really think of fixing it up at the time . The most I wanted to do was get some ground effects for it later on . The car had only 19 miles on it when I purchased it . Now it is around 40,000 miles ,and another motor . I found out it is'nt a good thing to get into an arguement with ( now Ex ) girlfriend and try to drive while being pissed off grabbing gears as you leave her house . You may miss a gear and overtach it ( not a good thing ) . After a few wrecks ( that were not my fault ) , and a lot of cussing . I decided to build it . I looked all over the place for parts to fix it up . I did'nt find a whole lot for my car but it seemed that if you owned a Honda you could actually turn it into a F**king show quality turd . Now I honestly hate Honda and anything that may run with a little help from rice or soy sauce .
