So I was mistaken in that I thought the Cavalier utilized the Iron Duke engine. Apparently that is not the case, and the fact I didn't know that is "revolting." Also, would someone think of the children and get this guy a spell check?
get informed. the ciron duke wasnt used after 89' the quad four replaced it and was a great engine if you stayed away fromt eh SOHC version. but alas the cavalier in question didnt have that either the z24 had the follow up to the quad four called the twin cam (code LD9) was a solid engine. however the version fo the car i beilve he was referencing didnt have that either. It had a shitbox 2.2 that was horrid and was only made for 6 years. this engien bore no desing similarites to any of GM's other 4 cylender engines either past or present. The only part of your comment that is valid is "My Fiance had one." the rest is so far from correct its revolting
Thanks "bradley." Your presence makes the world better.
I mean, really, he's agreeing with me that the Cavalier is awful, I just..what..I don't even..ughh

yeah man, you should probably just end it now, because you didn't know a mundane fact about a shitty car.

upon further reading, I think what is more revolting, is how much he knows about that piece of shit. Also typing.

I had the 2.2 in my S10. Pushrod 4cyl. Put 120 hp out. I wasn't going to set any landspeed records but I feel it was good enough for an inexperienced driver.

I used to use this
==================
I seriously don't know why you haven't tried this yet, but my cousin's half-sister's ex-husband's girlfriend basically makes 4488 shitty comments a week working part time. Two hours a day, and two in the evening. What's awesome is that she works from home, on the move, or anywhere. This is where she went…. http://kinja.com/tag/suckit

Yeah it seems like a waste of brain power to know so much about a complete shitbox of a car.

how fucking dare you not know every aspect of the chevy cavalier! And to think you call yourself an enthusiast. I'm revoking your Jalopnik gold membership.

Well, now that I know that the quad four wasn't available in the Cavalier, my dream of getting a Cavalier, taking off the plastic covers, and pretending I have a Cavalier powered by a Miller Offenhauser is ruined, unless I get a Z24. Thanks a lot, "bradley". Ass.

Just become friends with the dismiss button. It will never get mad at you no matter how many times you press it.

Yeah, I've dismissed jerks before, but this was a level of ridiculous I haven't seen before.

My favourite part is the first two sentences. The Iron Duke was still used in 1994.

If I was asked what engine the Cavalier used I'd just say some shitty 4-cylinder. The fact that you were even able to put a name (albeit wrong) to the engine is amazing.
Iron Duke was used 'til 94, so he's just as wrong.

Update to the dismiss button. I replied to the creationist article on Io9 about how I believe that God and Science are reconcilable.
Plenty of nice, honest replies from both sides, but also a good number of jerks. Dismissed quite a few.

Well except that the article referenced late 90's cavaliers specifically as the worst car ever built.

I'm liberal with the dismiss button if the replies begin with 'Are you stupid?' 'ur a fukin idiot' or the like...I let most stuff go though.

Yeah, the dismiss button has gotten some use over on io9 today for those very reasons.
