Yes, a Chevrolet cavalier went over a speed bump at a blinding 12 MPH and bend a spoke

When you have to ride on your rims, it helps to ''be prepared''...

I can honestly say that I have never heard the word 'Donk' used to describe a car. Now I find it refers to an entire culture of car enthusiasts as well as their cars.

Yikes!

That's part of the charm of the CR4 community: You guys often widen my (apparently) somewhat narrow horizons.

People refer these vehicles as chick magnets.... upon farther investigation, it is only the north pole of the magnet.... Unfortunately... as you can see, so are the chicks.

The owners below, two Czech brothers can attest to.

Chick magnet? As they say on the TV commercial, magnets both attract and repel!

Well, it can't be their fashionable charismatic personality that's repelling the chicks.

It's not very quick off the line, rides like a buckboard, and I sprain my ankle every time I get out, but it gets great fuel mileage!

0 to 60 MPH in about five minutes! You would think it would suck being behind him getting on the freeway, but you can drive right under him!
