Chevrolet Cavalier

1985: Chevrolet Cavalier — 422,927 units sold

Chevrolet's Cavalier is number one in sales for the second year in a row in 1985. Helping put the Cavalier in the top spot is the fact that it was sold in five body styles: coupe, sedan, hatchback, wagon, and convertible.

Please join the consolidarity effort in banning these brands from your lives. If you believe in America and want it to flourish we as consumers must show China they will not make money from buying up all of our once great American companies. By buying these brands you aid China in their fight against us. Please pass this message to as many people you think will join us. At a minimum, DO NOT BUY OR EAT ANY OF THE FOOD BRANDS LISTED ABOVE. IT IS QUITE DANGEROUS AND IS GETTING WORSE.

Living in the desert is probably really fun. For one thing, you get a lot of experience pulling sand out of things. Salt, too, if you’re lucky enough. And it’s super screamingly hot during the day and extremely cold at night, so you get a lot of weather to complain about. Maybe the greatest benefit is that other people aren’t around you, until they are.

My buddies and I had been pretending that we lived in an apocalyptic wasteland for the last few weekends. Every Friday, we’d hit the road in our rotten shitbox cars, cobbled together from dozens of unrelated shitbox cars, and go have fun camping in the desert. Our Mad Max fantasies would finally come to fruition, as law enforcement was both unwilling and incapable of reaching us out there as we flared nitromethane into the hot air and wore leather for inappropriate reasons.

Unfortunately, some rich folks turned up. They were going to have a festival. At first, we were excited. Rich people tend to be a little loose with their money when they get plastered, and if the sandstorms picked up again it was likely that they wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between us and assholes who were running a promising small-market-cap bioinformatics startup in need of a “B” funding round. As soon as we saw them starting to roll out the artificial turf and telling their butlers to get to pouring out gin and tonics, though, we realized what we were in for. It was going to be that kind of festival.

Suddenly, security was hassling us for “illegally parking” a 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier whose bodywork had been meticulously plasma-cut away from what we guessed was the structure. The whole vibe of the place had soured. We decided to set sail and find a new uninhabited part of the desert to inhabit, only to find another rich person’s festival!

Defeated, we returned home, only to find that the lights were all turned out in the rich part of town. Presumably, every be-moneyed individual was off in the playa, snorting nano-assembled turbo-peyote. Along with their security.

We still had a really good weekend, even though the atmosphere was different. All you have to do sometimes is choose a different way to dress up. The good news is that, even when you’re dressed like a yacht captain or the Crown Prince of Uzbekistan, a Bentley jumps a swimming pool just as well as a rotten old Camry wagon jumps a dune.

Being autistic with poor interoception and a galloping case of People Pleaser is like being a 1968 Chevrolet Cavalier in a world of 2023 Honda Civics: everyone is confused about why you're always complaining and tired because they're fully automatic, but your ass has unlubed crank-down windows, a manual transmission with a spongy clutch, and no power steering (ever driven a car without power steering? You put your entire bodyweight into turning the wheel, fam.)

went to a sim racing facility for the first time!! having never raced or driven in my life, I set a somewhat ok 58.1 in a Fiat Abarth 500 Assetto Corsa around Brands Hatch Indy.

In honor of this, do you have any Fun Fiat Facts?

Whipped out me sim rig to find out how good a time that was, and it must have taken me around ten laps to manage less (a 57.8)! (Gamer excuses for this sessions are a framerate barely at illusion-of-movement levels and some clutch mapping issue that made most shifts crunch.) For someone who never even drove, that's quite good! Now, maybe not "Run get a sim wheel right now for the good of humanity" good... but maybe "Finding out a used Logitech G25 is Christmas-present cheap may enrich your free time" good.

As for the Fun Fiat Fact request, it's denied: not only because I've already written about Fiat -and for my very first post no less- but most importantly because that car is not a Fiat! Indeed, since 2007 Abarth is, officially, a brand unto itself, that sells models like the 500 and the 124, just like Fiat sells models like the 500 and the 124. Now, I don't think anyone is going to try and pretend the similarities are just a coincidence or that an Abarth 500 is in any way not objectively a Fiat - but it's not a "Fiat 500 Abarth" any more than the one below is a "Chevrolet Cavalier Toyota".

That's right, there once was such thing as a Toyota Cavalier. Oh, brand engineering.

This is a rare but not completely isolated arrangement - see for example Ruf, German brand that makes vehicles based on Porsches, best known for the Ruf CTR -nicknamed "Yellowbird"- that bested the Ferrari F40's incredible top speed record.

Be careful who you call ugly under the 200mph barrier.

But yeah, all that is to say, I am not going to give you any fun Fiat facts. >:(

Let's give you fun Abarth facts then! Let's talk about fake exhausts. Big engines move a lot of gas -that's kind of the point- so they have big exhaust pipes for all that gas to leave, and high-tier exhausts are made of fancy materials that shine.

This -and our love for fancy shiny things in general- makes people like big shiny exhausts. But exhausts are very long, and making them big and shiny is costly. So people figured, what if we only make it wide at the end, where you actually see it?

After all, if the tip is large enough, it will satisfy regardless of what the rest of its length is like - sure, people may think it looks a bit weird when you take it out, but that only happens by the time you've already scored, doesn't it. But now, back to exhausts.

If you can just attach a bigger tip to the end of your exhaust, surely you can attach a tip of a different material and have a bog standard exhaust with a cool shiny tip, that now you can also shape to your designer's content!

(Fun fact: an aftermarket exhaust system that only replaces the components that come after the catalytic converter -which, contrary to the popular misconception that confuses it with the muffler, is mounted right beside the engine- is called a "catback exhaust". Picture unrelated.)

But then, if the tip material is completely separate from the exhaust pipe, you can now just make it a plastic part of the bumper and it doesn't need to withstand temperatures as high and is even cheaper and easier to style!

And now that they're not mounted on the tip of the exhaust, they don't have to coincide with it, so you can split the exhaust into two tips, which is cooler because they're more! Hell, you can also do that by just making the exhaust coincide with one tip and have the other blanked off!

But at that point, why even have the exhaust show up back there at all? Just make the tips blank and make the exhaust go down behind them!

And at that point why not just fuck it up to the point where you need this exhaust evolutionary biology 101 course to even recognize it is meant to be an exhaust, if we can kill God who's left to stop us from dancing on his corpse.

Well, the Abarth 500, as you might have guessed by now, has fake exhaust tips. But here's the weird thing: the real exhaust tips are not any less shiny and prominent than the fake ones. See for yourself in this sound video.

Oh also, I hope the devil got some killer stuff from the deal he made with the Abarth exhaust engineer, because if he only got a piddly little soul in exchange for the ability to turn 500 engine noise into this he got majorly screwed over.

The Mystery of Robert Hourihan

33 year old Robert Hourihan had been married to his wife Tara for 12 years when he went missing in 2011. They had a six year old daughter together and lived in Columbia, Virginia. Robert had a heart condition, Long QT syndrome, that he took daily medication for. He did not have it with him when he disappeared.

On the morning of April 8, 2011, Robert put on his work uniform and left home around 6:30 am, just as he normally would for his job as an electrician. He told his wife Tara that he was headed off to Richmond for work, and she said everything appeared normal that morning as he left in her 2004 white Chevrolet Cavalier.

Rather than going to work, Robert drove northwest on Route 53, and stopped for breakfast at the EW Thomas Grocery store in Palmyra around 8:00 am. He had previously worked there, and was a well known customer as a result. Robert didn’t arrive home from work that evening, and his wife was unable to contact him, her calls and texts going unanswered. On April 10 she called the police to report him missing, and the Fluvanna County Sheriff’s Office launched an investigation.

Robert’s last cell phone call was made at 7:41 am in Palmyra, Virginia. He was seen by several witnesses having breakfast at the EW Thomas store that morning between 7:40 – 8:00 am. This is the last confirmed sighting of Robert.

Authorities initially believed Robert was heading to Richmond for work on the morning he disappeared, but later learned he wasn’t scheduled for work that day, and instead had a meeting planned with an acquaintance named Daniel Boyd Fennel. Investigators spoke to Daniel, who said he didn’t know where Robert was. He told police they were supposed to meet up that morning and take a trip to New York City, but Robert never showed up.

On May 28, 2011, authorities located the white Chevrolet Cavalier Robert was driving when he disappeared. It was found abandoned in the corner of a Target parking lot in La Plata, Maryland, more than 100 miles away from where Robert was last seen. His work tools and uniform were found inside the vehicle, but his cell phone was missing. 

Authorities suspect foul play is involved in Robert’s disappearance, and believe someone has information that will help solve the case. Tara doesn’t believe Robert would leave his family and run off on his own. He also needs his heart medication that he left behind. The location of Robert Hourihan, and the circumstances regarding his disappearance remains unknown. His case remains unsolved.

Robert was last seen wearing a gray shirt, blue work pants and boots. He was driving a 2004 white Chevrolet Cavalier with the license plate “TARA MAE” and a Winnie The Pooh sticker in the back window when he went missing. 

If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Robert Hourihan please contact the Fluvanna County Sheriff’s Office at [phone].

Chevrolet Cavalier

1984: Chevrolet Cavalier — 383,752 units sold

For the second time in this still-young decade, a small car is the nation's best-seller. But instead of the Ford Escort (as in 1982), the Chevrolet Cavalier, that takes the top spot.

"¡Las 9 Mulas de Pruebas Más EXTRAÑAS Que No Puedes DEJAR de VER!" - Si algo te cae como un traje de seda sobre un unimog, son los prototipos automotrices disfrazados. Los fabricantes siempre han tenido que ser bastante ingeniosos para mantener sus nuevos diseños fuera de las cámaras del paparazzi automotriz, y eso ha llevado a algunas tácticas bastante impresionantes. ¿Cómo qué? Permíteme tirar de la cortina. 👀 #AutomotiveSecrets Lo primero que debes entender es lo que significa "mula de pruebas". No, no se trata de un cruce entre un burro y un caballo que los ingenieros usan para hacer pruebas de conducción de resistencia extremas. Es más un vehículo de prueba que contiene componentes claves de un nuevo modelo, disfrazado bajo la apariencia de un auto viejo o incluso completamente indistinguible. Es algo así como meter la tecnología de Elon Musk en el cuerpo de un coche viejo. Un Toyota MR2 que resulta ser un McLaren P1, o un Maybach Exelero ensamblado sobre un Chrysler 300. Mis favoritos son los Audi S6 que resultaron ser Bugattis Veyron. Simplemente el tipo de cosas que desentierran fascinantes secretos de ingeniería y ponen al descubierto la verdadera esencia de un automóvil. 🚗🔧 Como periodista avezado, siempre tienes que estar preparado para los trucos que los fabricantes de automóviles pueden jugar. Las mulas son como ese vecino tuyo que no habla mucho pero resulta ser un agente secreto. Como el infame Daewoo Matiz que se convirtió en el Chevrolet Spark. No es solo sobre el exterior, también es sobre lo que está en el interior. Las mulas a menudo contienen tecnología automotriz de punta. Es una combinación surrealista donde se mezclan el arte, la magia del disfraz y la ciencia. Como una especie de festín automotriz con cambiadores de formas diría yo. 👽 Además, no olvidemos cómo las mulas hacen girar la rueda del mundo automovilístico. No solo le dan un giro a nuestros cuellos, sino que también alimentan las redes con toneladas de especulaciones. ¿Es este Chevy Cavalier en realidad el próximo Impala? ¿O este viejo Honda CR-V guarda en su interior el alma del nuevo Acura? La caza de la mula perfecta puede llevarnos por caminos increíblemente divertidos. Si las cosas no salen como esperabas, puedes terminar con un coche de rally descapotable no intencionado, como el Mini Paceman Jerry. 🤣 Pero todo esto nos lleva a una pregunta clave. ¿Por qué los fabricantes siguen jugando al gato y al ratón? Simple, la emoción de una novedad no tiene precio, especialmente en el mundo del automóvil. Además, se trata de una práctica arraigada en la tradición y la historia del diseño de automóviles. No hay nada como sorprender al mundo con algo completamente inesperado. Y si lo haces disfrazando un brillante auto nuevo en un Ford Sierra, pues, eso es aún más impresionante. 🎩🕵️‍♂️ De hecho, diría que los fabricantes de automóviles deberían obsesionarse MÁS con las mulas de prueba en lugar de esas presentaciones súper estilizadas. ¡Dame más coches de aspecto extraño con rendimiento de Bugatti! #GiveMeMula En fin... encuéntrame un Audi A8 con un motor Lamborghini, y te mostraré un fabuloso juego de engaño automotriz. Entonces, la próxima vez que veas un coche viejo que se mueve con la gracia de un superdeportivo, puedes estar presenciando el mágico arte de las mulas de pruebas. Ahora, podríamos debatir si estas mulas de pruebas son realmente necesarias o si son solo una táctica de marketing ingeniosa para mantenernos a todos adivinando. ¿Qué opinas? 🧐 Y no olvides, siempre en busca de aquella joya oculta en el lote de un concesionario de segunda mano. Vamos con esa #AutomocionVigilancia!

There's a few things to say about this my son is doing a good job and daughter but this is a great job and it's a shoe in and we're just staring at it there are certain risks though and we have to get ready for those and we have to be prepared for trouble and we could be causing a lot of problems but we'll have to straighten it out but it's an opportunity and could be a very big one like you said we have our illusion in the Midwest we would have a business we would have money we'd have control over one of the largest companies and the largest producers and we'd be looked to as people are doing some helpful stuff we really wanted that and needed we're providing food and will eventually use the stamp method but we're not going to use the same electronics or wiring harness we're not going to put in the weird doodads it's going to be a regular car have electric locks and windows but we'll have options to go to manual and people can order them and they do a lot of people order it because they're so sick and tired of being locked out the damn thing not working for half an hour having to reset it and it is a pain in the ass okay your fob gets fried the car stuff gets fried and the regular locks work and there's a certain way to do it it works better and no you have a key and you hide it and you use it on your door and then the better way is to have one for the ignition and it is nice it does work and people can't figure it out and a son says what would be even nicer would be to have electronic ignition but solid state will you turn the key and you push the pedal down and you have to push a button those people forget and we're trying to rip off the car it's harder cuz the ignition is not right there in the steering column and we'll think about that change too there's a lot of things he comes up with and are very nice so we're going ahead with us now

Thor Freya

I think I can get us into several factories today and to start them up and I still own them and that's why and we do know that probably controlling share

Ken

But I'm controlling share but we have a lot of it controlling share is Ben and Mac so those are your cadre

Thor Freya

So I'm making agreement to sell only to us and really I use my forces but they wanted they want to be there and to help out to make sure that it doesn't get destroyed and we need that so he says there's only one way to tell but we will make conversations outside of us too and they have a way of saying it so I'm going to check it out and I'm going to see what you're saying

Ken

We don't make a formal agreement but he's right you start loading it up and getting ready to go and we'll have some up front talk and conversations and we'll show you what we can do and get your materials and yeah we supply most of it out there and that's the catch or the boon

Thor Freya

He wanted to be helpful and they want to use up your materials so let's get going on this everybody not going to have a meeting today

Ken

Of course we're going to want some and we'll open our plants and yeah we kind of do that you get some permissions but really we go ahead and do it and we can get materials or they can send them they say we get that too

Bja

We do send to who we want they're not in the favorite list but we do work as well with a try and do elicit stuff

Thor Freya

You do understand that you do it at your own risk but we do see what you're saying and I think we're going to prove it and the max say they will too

Mac daddy I'm not ready to do it the Chevrolet and Ben Arnold is thinking about it but Chevy is pretty big they have a car like it it's not the cavalier and it's not the bolt but it's the same size and look and they sell tons of them tons and he wants to simplify it and make it better and easier to assemble it'll be faster with a better motor with them doing it and make a sport version and then super sport and call it that too and a hatchback I'm actually probably ready to talk about it they can pump them out with a stamping method that I use will help get it going and out there too and they have a security program that you can ease into I sort of like this and everybody needs them we need them desperately and having a super sport would be nice so I'm going to go ahead and put in for it and see what comes out and actually I'm the head guy so he said we had our meeting and you have to meet with them sort of and I'm going to do that and I appreciate it too and really a super support it's like the Volkswagen golf GTI called the performance version. We want to tons of those but we can't get them so this will work for us and she would have thought what a thought

Mac daddy

And we keep stuff open out there the deal is too rich and the max wanted so we're going to try and go ahead and do it

We need to steal two and the two did a great job and his cadre is sitting there with Pontiac but these guys will start up and they'll want to start that up and Chrysler is not doing very well and PGA might take it over

2 dead in unrelated Polk County crashes

Two people died in Polk County on Sunday in separate crashes, the sheriff’s office said. The first deadly crash happened just after 10 a.m. in Lake Wales on North Scenic Highway near Egg Farm Road. The sheriff’s office said 24-year-old Angel Velasquez Jeronimo was driving south on Scenic Highway when he entered the northbound lane on a curve. Authorities said Jeronimo’s 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier…
