Believe it or not, my good weather daily driver is my FD (I try to drive it as often as possible during the Spring-Summer-Fall).
My winter car is a slightly breathed on (NA 259 RWHP) 94 Mustang GT that I stick itty bitty snow tires on
Drives my wife insane.

'95 740i...just got it two months! It replaced my 'beater' Cherokee...but I miss the Cherokee 
I've been off the board for a while...because of the new car. Which is ok, because Baby #1 is nearly through with her modification journey.

I think I got you all beat.
1987 Saab 900s with 260,000 miles on it, nothing works in it but the windows and heater, the seats are falling apart, the headliner fell out, the trunk latch broke, the sealed headlights have cracks in them so condensation builds up in them, which blows the bulbs occasionally. The exhaust has holes in it...lots, the suspension is screwed up and it needs an alignment. Oh, and I think the headgasket is blown too.

1995 pontiac sunfire. 113000 miles currently. Everytime someone hits the car (usually during the winter months) I take the nice big insurance check and put it into the rx7. Ive already made well over what i paid for the car just from people hitting it. Ive also been driving the car for almost 4 years and deliver pizza in it. Still drive pretty damn good for some ungodly reason. Fingers are definately crossed.

Bridgeport Anyone??
I might have everyone beat in this department. At school, my beater is a 1975 Plymouth Duster, with the slant six(leaning tower of power) not one original body panel, and the rear leaf springs sticking up through the floor in the trunk. I got it for 50 bucks and it drives great. Oh yeah the gas tank is about to drop on the ground, make sparks, and catch fire. Well worth it.

I am about to get my "winter beater" or "Winter Rat" on the road. A 1993 Subaru Impreza. Perfect for that foul winter weather and a perfect anode for road salt to eat . It is almost time to put the FC (this months issue of RX tuner) and my FD away. :-(the
