      Cavendish Cruizer

      Hey, so I decided to make a post about my 2006 Chevrolet Aveo5 SVP running strong at 106,000KM. Oh, and my girlfriend nick-named it Wilma, don't ask where that came from... Everything is stock as of now.

      Here's a video of various clips of the Aveo doing burnouts, clutch dumps, reverse to 1st, 1st gear donuts with the e-brake on all kinds of roads, slushy, sandy, dry, snowy.. All these were taken between August 25th, 2010 and December 7th, 2010 (My Birthday) - In that time frame I've put 40,000KM on it.



      Here's a video my buddy took while I was doing some drifts behind the mall, we were gonna make a longer video but the cops were coming down the road towards the parking lot so we peaced right outta there.. Aha kinda drifted the whole way out too with the bald tires.



      Repairs so far:
      Driver side ball joint
      Driver side control arm bushing
      2 Seperntine belts

      Future modifications:
      Cold air intake
      Aftermarket rims
      Tinted black tail-lights
      Tinted windows

      First day I had the car:

      Well it just feels good washing your car, having it all cleaned up, cruising around town and taking out the girl. That's what I enjoy most about the night! Yeah, it's not fun in the cold but hey I use those car garage self serve washers there in town, they're high pressure, flip a switch it goes from soap/wash to rinse wax and spot free rinse, $3.00 gets your 4 minutes.
