My friend's new 2005 Chevy Aveo; etc.
I was just emailing a close friend about the bright red, four-door '05 Chevy Aveo they won in the drawing at the Eureka, CA Grocery Outlet store's grand opening, of the new building they built where their old one had been.
Someone my three hour, once a week care-giver the fall of '04; while in a full time AFSCME union job organizing other care-givers for California's IHSS/In Home Supportive Services program, in notoriously anti-union Humboldt county. I got AFSCME's "President's Award" normally given only to union members, for volunteer work done the summer of '05 helping collect petition signatures in support of the IHSS care-givers, with my friend and their two other full-time AFSCME union workers.
This is someone unused to having any sort of a car; who'd been getting around on a forty year-old Peugeot green mixte' frame ten-speed fixed to work in only one gear, borrowed for $20 every six months from the Arcata, CA "Bicycle Library." Someone now with a job in San Francisco working for the huge SEIU labor organization, a professional community and labor organizer also a trained puppeteer; who certainly can use the car.
A person twenty-seven when we met the spring of '04; and likes dressing flamboyantly or in disguises, often in black punk garb and short electric blue hair then, including a fine black leather motorcycle jacket whose dream the summer of '04 was to someday own a 250cc Honda Rebel. A graduate of Humboldt State University in Arcata, CA originally from New Hampshire; who has also authored a book on riding the Greyhound bus long distances, most comfortably, enjoyably and effectively.
What I was writing them about today, is how typically many new car buyers are the least concerned with maintenance; the sort of people who buy due to fads and impulsively, planning on changing to another car within two or three years; as the cycle that sort of society is recommended, as most trouble free. So, often the oil isn't changed until by the second owner; or at best warrantee conditions are held to with visits to the dealer the car was bought from.
What I was wondering, is if there might be any sort of Aveo specific website such as this one for the Festiva? I've read later Aveos aren't as good as those made and sold in '05; but, there seem to be enough of all types on the road, that there could be people out there interested in their Aveos, trying to share between themselves as here, to be able to make the best of them. My first "Aveo" web searches haven't come up with much.
The woman my age who parks right next to me at the apartment complex we both rent in; drives an amazing white '65 Ford Galaxie hard-top with a 289 V-8 she got for $200 in 1988, which has been in her family since a new car. "Someone else's problems" she scoffs in scorn about my being the second owner of the Festiva; who is a humorous character, someone who has lived here all her life and remembers when where we now live, once was horse pasture. She has even rebuilt the motor herself on the Galaxie, so really someone pretty amazing; who works caring for Alzheimer's patients and has a daughter in her thirties.
