1985 Chevrolet Cavalier
My car sucks big ass. No not my 97 Thunderbird LX Limited Edition, she's my baby. I mean *the* biggest piece of shit EVER INVENTED in the U.S.: the 1985 Chevrolet Cavalier. Ok, let's see here: First of all it has rust problems, like big time. Second, the carpet smelled like a dead rat soaked in pump oil, so I ripped it out. All the trim panels too since most were gone already. It was painted this ugly gray color and the front of the car from the windshield forward was red, cuz it was wrecked before and then painted with red primer. $.99 cent gloss black Wal-Mart spray paint took care of the paint problem. The brake pedal almost goes to the floor but it still works halfway decently. Now the big problems: A few weeks ago the shift cable that runs from the shifter to the transmission came off the transmission, so I zip tied it back on. It would routinely come undone and I'd have to pull over and zip tie it back on again. Finally, when I was leaving the police station after paying my ticket (that the fat-ass cop gave me when I was trying to get to work on time) I pulled out onto the main road and as soon as I shifted into third gear the shifter disconnected again so I pulled over to zip tie it again but no the POS had pulled a trick on me and the cable had snapped off the transmission. I had my girlfriend with me so I said, Well if it wants to be a piece of shit I can drive it like a piece of shit... and I reached down and stuck it in 2nd gear and have been driving at 3500 RPM at 30 MPH for three days now, going on 4, hopefully my new shift cable ($50.00!) will be here tomorrow. Not only that but the thermostat got stuck halfway shut and the car went up to 230 degrees before going back down to 190 for a while and I drove it like this for about 3 weeks after I got it, and finally I just yanked out the thermostat and said fuck it. Now it runs at like 120 degrees unless it's raining them my temp gauge does not move off 100. Also the cooling fan never came on even when the car was near overheating
