Heres my winter beater... The funny thing is its in way nicer condition then my project car rx-7. This truck is 15 years old (1990) has never been winter driven once (until now haha) and is rust free at this point. It has 130, 000 km's on it put on by my grandpa... The truck is not a vehicle I would go out and buy but the price of this was right, free because I just started college and I needed a daily driver.

I must admit though 80 dollars a week in gas sucks... But at the same time nothing beats a 4x4 in the wintertime...

In that case my rx7 is the beater. Since the subaru has absolutely no rust and has less than 20,000 kms and the rx7 has over 210,000 kms and some random small surface rust in engine bay.

Yeah i just picked up a set of x-ice tires for mine should be good for getting around, we get a lot of shitty weather down this way in the winter.

Jahoo88 10-25-05 02:35 PM

I got an '01 Saturn SL1 as a daily driver. 40mpg average so far for 5000km of mostly city driving :D
