well here is my life story...
it was parked over the winter, and the brakes siezed. at the time, i was 16, and i didnt have enough money to fix the brakes, i think it would of cost $1000 or something like that. on top of that, was rebuilding the engine over the winter. then i had problems with the vacuum lines since i didnt mark wich one went where. i got fed up of the car, and i sold it in the spring.
2 months or soo later, i got a supra(MA71). loved that car, i only had it for 2 months until it cuaght on fire while i was driving home one night. the turbo was on life support btw...
winter that year i bought a 240sx(S13) just for racing only. but the frame might not of handle the power soo i just sold it too.
I got the cavalier becuase i was working at General Motors (GM) for a while and it is just a cheap daily driver until i make up my mind on a good car. although, the cavy beat my buddy's '92 s13 with a 3" exhaust. it kept up with my buddy's probe V6(Stock). and my friends dodge stealth V6(stock). it beat soo many honda civics its not even funny! V-tec or not...
my car has no power mods... its pointless on a car like this.
