Vx Cavalier GL - I had one of these - it was a good car i.e. I was never stranded at the roadside due to the car breaking down.
It came to a sad end when I was at the highest point on the M8 - January heavy snow everywhere and instead of following Indian style a van driver decided to go into "the fast lane"
He lost control and pushed me into the 12/15 feet high wall on the west bound carriageway - IIRC the roof, boot lid and the passenger rear quarter were the only undamaged panels - he massacred the driver's side and the wall did the rest.
Good News was I was unhurt but it took 3 hours for the breakdown truck to haul me off (radiator burst).
The van driver had minimal front end damage and drove off after exchanging details..
