Another tale of Cavalier love gone too far
A good chunk of people who frequent the Internets on a regular basis have no doubt seen this pic, which shows a giant tattoo of a lightly modified Chevy Cavalier on the arm of a J-body fanboy. We've all expressed our opinion of the young man's choice, though we're prepared to let it drop since he's expressed many times on the J-body forum that's he happy with the result. Fair enough, but we're beginning to suspect that the new car smell in late-model J-bodies is actually a highly addictive airborne chemical that makes owners do crazy things for their Cavaliers.
A gentleman was referred to a few times in the tattoo thread that commissioned a custom pair of Cavalier Z24 sneakers, and he got in touch with us to show off his kicks on Autoblog. He tells us these one-of-a-kind Reeboks aren't daily drivers, just for car shows and meet ups where displaying pride in your ride is socially acceptable. And at the end of the day, at least he can take his shoes off and put them back in the closet.

Crap like this needs to be posted in some lame Cavalier forum somewhere. Not here.

Well, he has the tattoo and the shoes; I wonder if this poor misguided person even actually has a real Z24 Cavalier.
As lame as this is I have to say that a Ferrari branded cell phone is even lamer.

For anyone that really does injoy the sound of there fingers rapidly touching keys, "Oh Grow up..." Atleast he got hobbie better then posting on a blog how stupid someone is for doing something they would not do...
I get so sick of hearing what ammounts to, "I would not spend 4 thousand dollars to fix car B, but I would definetly spend 8 thousand dollars to do it to car A..." Do you have car A and 8 thousand dollars?
"No..." Then either shut up, or start paying up on your project car.

These shoes are "one-of-a-kind" for anyone with internet access and a $100 bill burning a hole in their pocket.

thank god those aint my shoes, but where do you draw the line? if I had a Ferrari, I'd probably have the Ferrari watch.

The shoes are kind of cool, but the tattoo was way overboard. I won't hate though. I made a stencil and spray painted Z28 on the brim of my black baseball cap... and I think it's cool...
