View all Wally's Chevrolet Cavalier

!999 Cavalier Coupe, just like the one your wife’s hair dresser drove.

4 cylinders of cast iron goodness with 8-count em 8 Pushrods. That’s more than you can get in any Honda, Porsche, or even Ferrari today.

All that fury is coupled to a three speed automated gearbox that gives you the power of a four, but the mileage of a V8. and I don’t have to worry about any pesky shifting so I never have to put down my burger OR beverage. try that in you EVo or STI.

Chicks dig it because if you’re willing to be seen in it, well… of course my wife still can’t believe I don’t have a Corvette o Lambo or something. In her words, “If anyone should be compensating for something”.

I have no love for Cavaliers, but gotta give Wally a vote just on the write-up alone, and cause he’s such an all-around cool guy in general.

Hahaha I would also vote you up for the write-up but I think one’s enough. Oh hell, I’ll do it so more readers are attracted to this page trying to see what’s so great about this Cavalier and have the pleasure of reading it.

Feel free to read and enjoy but please don’t vote up, there are much better rides here that deserve the attention. If you need to click on a button it should be the down button.

Voted down by request, but a +1 on the description! Can you write mine Wally?

Voted like you ask ,yes nice write up. by the way when I want to shift with out my hands I’ll tell my wife or daughter to shift for me. Some times its tricky becouse my daugher is almost 4 years old. but still I can eat or drink while I drive.

Wally I retracted my vote, too, which means at this point you probably have the widest votes to comments spread: 6:-1

Definitely not a track day car or a corner carver but that car will be running long after most foreign cars are traded in. No overhead cam, no timing belt, no fuss. The head gasket will seep for a long time without blowing completely. It’s hard car to kill, perfect for a teenage driver. I am giving it a +.

Dude. It’s “Fashion Black”. What more could you want? They don’t call ‘em Cadavaliers for nothing. And yeah, +111!1!!1!!!1 on the writeup. Wally rawks.

Why can’t I vote this down? This is the BEST writeup of one of the worst cars. Wally, you are a very funny man. :)

After a run-in with some people abusing it over on Classic we removed the ability to vote down cars. So Wally will forever hold the title of lowest rated car ever.

Well there’s no way I’m going to vote it up and risk ruining the title of “Lowest Rated Car Ever”, but if I still had the option of voting it down I would. Wally, you should totally write books. Reading your write up reminded me of classic Dave Barry.

Write books? I don’t have the attention span to hey, there’s a blue jay on my window sill

If you're reading this, you've probably seen these odd links with funny names somewhere on the site and want to know what they're all about. Well, prepare to feel a bit more Net savvy. Those links are what the geeks call "social networks."

Social networking sites allow you to store and share links and pages across the Internet. It's like taking your bookmarks list and being able to see it from any computer.

Even better, social networks allow you to steer friends, relatives, colleagues and pretty much anyone else to the cool stuff you've found, so they have something better to do online than watching the skateboarding squirrel video on YouTube for the thirtieth time. You're making the world a better place.

The only catch is that while all the social networks are free, you do have to register. Each site has a slightly different focus, so take a look through the links and see which service suits you best.
