The Fantasy Had to End Sometime

Steven Den Beste drives a 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier.

Oh the humanity.

I worked at Avis Rent a Car from the middle of 1999 through the beginning of 2000. Avis has GMC-derived cars in it's fleet and the Cavalier is one of them. Damn, I hated those cars. The standard model and trim failed all my basic requirements:

  • Looks: exterior and interior inspired by and appeared to be crafted directly from shit
  • Performance: sluggish acceleration and sub-par handling
  • Audio: the entire system is a disgrace to anyone with working ears
  • Cool Factor: there is nothing cool about a Chevy Cavalier.

    OK, so I made that last one up. But I'd rather drive a Ford Fiesta than a Chevy Cavalier.

    I can't see how Mr. Den Beste can go on!

    I share a building with AVIS. But that Avis only lends out trucks and huge vans.

    Ford sucks.

    The Chevy Cavalier cannot beat any of its Japanese competition in any way. I have a Mazda Protege that makes the Cavalier look like a Ford Pinto.
