Z24 Cavalier classic
That sounds like a memorable adventure! Enjoy the nostalgia.
Been there
Hell yeah! I feel this pic.
I don’t smoke now but I remember the “flavors” of all the different cigs we’d have due to just getting whatever we could get our hands on.
I had that same beauty of a car. It kept dying on me but man it looked so cool at time as a high school student. I was lucky to have that as a first car.
It’s wild to me that 16 yr olds could just drive alone. Where I live you can apply for a learners at 16 but have to have it for 2 years and you can’t drive without an adult with a valid license. And then if you pass a road test after that 2 years you get a secondary license which lets you drive alone or with maximum 1 other person for an additional 2 years. So a minimum of 4 years before you can be a regular driver.
Very nice. I could also buy cigs as a minor but I lived in the Middle East.
Yo! I got my chevy cavalier back in 2000 for $600! Was yours a 5 speed
While listening to Millencolin?
ya, that might be a $600 car in 1998, but it was a mouth-drooling ride in 1988 to a bunch of high schoolers. I wanted one so baaaaad. Well, next to the Prelude of course…
It’s basically a Pontiac Sunbird with spoilers and shit.
Imagine being able to get a car for $600 in 2024. That’s near impossible these days unless it’s a broken shitbox.
Those stations were life savers 🫠
Nice 2nd gen Cavalier! Looks to be a 1988-1990. What a beaut!
Where in Missouri?
Those Cavs looked great, but it seemed most died a rusty death. And soooo much plastic!
Still smokin’?
