Cavalier Club at Large

Cavalier Club at Large -- collage by douglas brent smith, 1995

From Journal #30, Operation Fresh Start, 1995.

NOTES:

I've owned (or co-owned) four Chevy Cavaliers and loved every single one. I've loved them so much that I even contemplated forming a Cavalier Club -- or maybe finding one that already existed. Such charming little cars. Basic, the last one I owned had wind-up windows. Fun to drive, a bit sporty without being too fast (can a car be too fast?).

My favorite was a blue 1987 station wagon version of a Cavalier. It had an old, permanent smell that was not at all unpleasant. I loved that car and commuting to work in Trevose in that car and it was named Bluebird. Sometimes I would sit in Bluebird and eat my lunch in the parking lot of UFLIC on Street Road.

I was recently in that parking lot again for a gig with CareerTrack and another for the college but I barely recognized the building or the lot because they had changed so much. Still, the vibes were good.

I always love my cars. I'll never have another Cavalier -- GM foolishly stopped manufacturing them (they keep discontinuing their best and most economical cars...) Pleasant memories.

That's a cavalier in the lower right hand corner of the collage.
