Build story

Christen The Lunchbox because it was only way I could explain what I bought to my father over the phone. "Its a lunchbox. A lunchbox with wheels."\r
\r
College roommate blew a head gasket in his Cutlass and had to get back to school in 14 hours. He bought the Aveo as a quick replacement.\r
\r
Later, he decided he wanted a manual transmission. He bought a manual Aveo sedan and swapped the transmissions in the driveway of our college house.\r
\r
I bought it from him as a cheap daily driver. It has no ABS, no Traction Control, manual mirrors, and manual windows. The weight bias is heavily towards the front. I had to get winter tires since it wanted to spin whenever braking on all-seasons in winter. It is Chevy's toss-away economy car of the 2000's. \r
\r
The Lunchbox has become an icon for the people who know me. The Lunchbox is fun and has plenty of "WTF is it" factor.\r
\r
Would I sell it? - No.\r
Would I suggest Aveo's to other people? - Definitely not.
