Well, this is my first car! :D An extremely clean 1998 Chevy Cavalier Z24 Convertible! I got it off of eBay & this thing is my pride and joy. While it may just be a Cavalier with rims, a drop, an intake, and a few other things, it's so much more than that to me. I love this thing and if I can keep it until the day I die, I totally will.

Some of you may know me as 98z24ragtop from j-body.org. Its me, just a different name =D lol (I had my CarDomain account way before I actually got my car. lol)

DON'T FORGET TO RATE AND NOMINATE FOR SHOWOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
