It is a sad day indeed. My best friend, my 1987 Chevy Cavalier, is ill. We have gone through many things together. Although I have only had my license for 6 months and only drove the Brown Beast for about 4,000 miles, it is a lot when you figure it was free. It may have left me stranded on the interstate one hot morning in June on my way to Louisville, but everything worked out and I got to go to Krazy Fest and she somehow made it back to Evansville with my parents. When trying to fix that problem of overheating, this new one popped up. When driving to a friends house, the smell of something was horrible. It was a new smell, and not exhaustey. Looking in the mirror, smoke(actually vapor) was everywhere. I made it back home and my dad said it was the head gasket and antifreeze was leaking and burning. The price of a head gasket isn't expensive, but to get one on costs about 400 dollars. I need a new car. RIP Brown Beast

Paul, as soon as I scrolled down and saw that picture the CHiPs theme was rolling through my head. I know if a cop dressed like that, and on a motorcycle no less, pulled me over, I would say something like "Sure thing, Ponch" to everything he said and be humming the theme song the whole time....
It's a damn good thing I don't live in CA. I am certain I would get arrested a whole bunch.

It says "My Other Car is a Rolls Royce." I bought it at the Salvation Army for 50 cents. It is the second best novelty item on my car. My personal favorite is the Honda horn honking thing on the steering wheel. I bought it at a junk yard and glued it on the horn thing. It rocks. And Paul, when my car broke down no one stopped. We sat there for about 2 hours in the middle of nowhere, as cars would pass by. There were actually two cars that honked and waved/flipped off.
