O/T: Chevy Cavalier Meet
This weekend was the big Annual cavalier/sunfire meet that is held in Ohio. It was an interesting opportunity to compare this to the SVX meet. It was a completely different atmosphere at this meet... There were between 300 and 400 cars there, and most of the owners were younger than me. There were lots of problems with kids driving their cars into eachother, also underage drinking etc. It is interesting to see how competitive this group of car owners is. They are not the family that we are by any means. There is a group of owners that originally founded the cavalier club and started having this annual meet about 4 years ago. Of this group of 30 or so people, 2 of them were at this meet, and I was one of them. Back then, we were the family that the SVX club is now in its beginning stages. Let's not let immaturity and competitiveness overpower our mutual love for these fine cars.
PS- The image in the attachment may be sommewhat disturbing to SVXers... I just had to fit in somehow. (My cavalier was just painted and I didnt want to take it to the meet and risk stone chips.) -Mike |

Green,
What does the "TFM" to the right of your license plate stand for. Don't answer "Too F******** Much!" Larry III

TFM is the Cav club I am in... because of the HUGE number of cavaliers, there are many different owner groups. www.teamforwardmotion.com -Mike Quote:

Always wondered about your Cavalier Fetish
It just strikes me as odd. Talk about vehicles on the opposite sides of the spectrum. Definately not cutting on the Cav but for someone to be so active with both types of cars makes me wonder if its time for Mike to spend some time in the rubber room!

Anyway... i kinda went and said more than you guys probably wanted to know about cavaliers, but I have made a lot of friends because of that car, just like I have with you guys here because of my svx. They are the reason I am active in the meets and on the forums. Here are some pics... A little note regarding the engine pic. The car is 16 years old, and has 99,600 miles... the enigne has never had to be really cleaned, I just made sure it never got dirty. http://www.vintagez.com/foto/images/fri0016.jpg http://www.vintagez.com/foto/images/sat0115.jpg http://www.vintagez.com/foto/images/P7270038.jpg http://www.vintagez.com/foto/images/fri0014.jpg http://www.vintagez.com/foto/images/P7210008.jpg http://www.vintagez.com/foto/images/P8110030.jpg http://www.vintagez.com/foto/images/P8110036.jpg -Mike (sorry about all the links.) |

Mike,
The engine bay, that's incredible if the engine area has never been cleaned. What do you do, drive it with Saran Wrap top and bottom? My car's like Pigpen. Doesn't matter how much I clean it, 5 minutes later, it's all dirty again. VK |

PS - This pic should make up for the one of my SVX with the Cav emblem.

I've owned quite a few very mundane vehicles that I became attached to, because they treated me right. Ya' love the mutt just as much as the pedigree. It's simply a good thing that folks can join in on any hobby or vocation & find others to swap stories & lies about. And your Cav looks sweet to me! Ron.
