I drove an 88 cavalier for a long while. Shitty all season tires aside, the thing was amazing in snow because it was so light. It’d float right on top, while douche canoes in their jacked up F250/F350 trucks got stuck. It did not like glare ice due to the tires, but that aside it was great.

I once went to the scene of a 88 Z24 cavalier accident. The car went airborne in a curve and struck a light pole near center of the bottom of the car. When we got it upright it was resting on both bumpers with all four tires off the ground. There was a guy standing there holding the the steering wheel and mast jacket in his hands. He was the driver. He went out the back window(no seat belt) holding it as he went. He had one deep puncture mark on his leg. They put him in the hospital anyway. The next day his family was out there trying to get the stereo out of it.

That’s like Looney tunes level shit. Glad he made it out. From the start of your comment, and my experience driving said cavalier, I was expecting a bad ending

He was unbelievably lucky. All he was worried about was getting back to his base before Monday. The emt had to ask him several times to let go of the steering wheel.
