2002 Chevrolet CavalierAbout This Vehicle:
I bought this car because it was the cheapest thing I could find, and it would let me save for a sports car. But now that it's modded a bit and I'm racing it, I've found that I really like it, and I think I'll keep it for a while, until one of my other projects are complete. Body Style: Sedan
Color: Sandrift
Engine: 2.2L I4 OHV
Transmission: Manual
Interior: Beige
Purchase Date: Sept 2003
Purchased From: Bennett Chev-Olds
