1997 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24

About This Vehicle:

"She's dead, Jim!"

Yup...hundreds of hours of blood, sweat and tears, as well as thousands of dollars of my hard earned money have been poured into my baby. And in the end, she died on me.

Not the car itself. Not my passion for her. Instead, my extra time has been lost. The river of money has dried up. Her precious garage was replaced by the shame of a backyard.

Now she sits, on blocks, naked for the world to ridicule. Her only protection from the harsh weather is that of a thin, weathered car cover. Her glory days are over.

Maybe one day she will rise from the ashes. Maybe. Until then, pray to the car gods that they be merciful on her. Pray they do not forsake her forever. She deserves so much more.
