Pause.

Brian?

"A Cavalier car club? I never heard of any-- the Cavalier ? That's like a club for uh, uh, a Vega." He says the last as though he had to spit.

He says to try Ron Pemberton at the Unity Thunder Car Club, based in the D.C. area. They've got really great rides; sportscaster James Brown is a member. They love Chevys.

Punch punch punch buttons, phone rings, introductions.

Ron, we're talking about the Chevy Cavalier here, and --

"The Cavalier?" He laughs. HAHA.

He says he's never had a call about a Cavalier. "Muscle cars, Corvettes, Camaros, Chevelles, those are the top ones at Chevy. I thought that was what you were calling about."

And then:

"The Cavalier, man? Really? HAHAHAHAHA!"

Unexpected Power

You know what?

Cavalier guys love this. Go ahead, yuk it up. They'll take a used Cavvy for five grand and get in the garage and turn it into something that'll shame your 20 grand store-bought Civic, or anything else you saw in "The Fast and the Furious."
