It’s not every day that you survive a 40-foot drive off a cliff.
In the great, confusing state of California, a man drove his Chevy Cavalier into a cove of some kind around 5:45am Monday morning. The car landed in a peculiar fashion – on the trunk, as if it were trying to pop a squat.
Once 911 was dispatched, they confronted the driver upon arrival, who happened to be less than agreeing to their assistance.
“He was combative, he wanted to fight with our crews, he wanted to be left alone. He was not cooperating,” said Maurice Luque, the Public Information Officer for the San Diego Fire Rescue Department.
An investigation is underway by the San Diego Police Department, and the driver’s bloodwork has been sent out for examination.
Thanks to ABC News for elaborating on this insanity.

Did he refuse a breathalyzer?
J-bodes certainly weren’t the most structurally robust cars. I don’t know how someone survived this one.
You could easily survive it if you were as muntered as this bloke obviously was, though! Sounds like he might be an alcoholic, seeing as though he was driving such a piece of uninspiring shit in the first place!
For their time they were as good or better than most cars.
While not a perfect car we have a lot of them still running around the rust belt here with 200K-300K miles while the Toyota’s and Hondas of the same era have rusted away.
These old GM car may not have perfect or pretty by they keep on running and running. We had an old Vega years ago that used oil and had rust everywhere. We used it for years and sold it to someone who got nailed by a TV camera truck who paid him what he paid for it an then it was driven another year. Then it was sold again and lasts at least one more year.
GM cars hold up pretty well, generally always run, cheap to fix and keep on going.
I’d have to say my favorite part of older gms would have to be that most parts from the mid 50s late 60s all the way up till y2k used most of the same parts ex: door lock actuators from a 97 chev truck are interchangeable with ones in a 79 camaro! little tid bit of knowledge for the day.
Agreed ! !
Door handles on most GM cars were the same for years on many models from 1955 Chevys and up.
The interchange was a great key to many GM cars as the many high wear parts were easily interchanged in many cars even if they did not look alike.
We used to be able to find parts so easy to keep a car on the road. This is also what helped the performance markets too.
That’s one tough Chevy Cavalier, glad the dude lived through it. Had a 1986 model and always thought it felt and drove like a midsize not a compact.
The Holden version the Camira was marketed as a mid-size car in the eighties, even though it was a bit smaller than the better selling at the time Toyota Camry
