I drive my gt throughout the whole winter, since i'm 17, and its my only car. But if its horrible conditions out and I need to go somewhere, I use the mother's FJ Cruiser

 

I just had my winter tires put on and I'll throw extra weight in the trunk. But I'll use my 4x4 truck if the snow gets too deep.

 

howd it do?

 

or you can live in Houston like me and not have to worry about it. cause it's bound to be 70 degrees in the middle of Winter if no cold front comes in

 

 

no need to worry about it here. if we happen to get that 1/4" of snow here, the area shuts down and nobody goes out.

 

Not I. Mine gets parked in a plastic prison for the winter, and I smash on my old winter beater for 6 months:

lol

 

that thing is dead sexay.

 

definitely "dead"......

 

lol...almost! Hopefully she's got another winter or two left in her. :yes lol

 

Hey, my father just moved back to Boston and he left me his 1985 Grand Marquis... I need to start "hookin' it up".

 

Sweet. We can start up a forum maybe.....'Loserish Winter Beaters R Us' maybe. lol

 

LOL, I'll get pics now. It's actually in very good shape. I just need a new seal (leaking coolant) and I'll re-paint it to match the stang.... WTF!!!!

 

Cool. Mine is rough around the edges, has a shitpile of miles on her, and the body is crap. But other than that, everything actually works on the old girl, the cruise, all the windows, locks, the AC, the power trunk....it even has a remote starter on it with keyless entry that still works. lol

 

Oh, and she came with 4 brand new Michelin LT/X M&S tires on it...they're prolly worth more than the car is. lol

 

not a ding, but 1 month ago the AC compressor seized and the belt broke, damaging the seal. Easy fix. Everything works, everything! It will be my daily driver for the time the Stang is down, and then after.

 

It's just dirty and it needs some protectant/shine on that top and I'll be pimping...

On a separate note, winter is a killer for all cars period. That Salt and Sand gets the car destroyed in no time. That's why the re-sale value of northern vehicles is lower than southern ones. My 02 Lincoln LS looked like a 1985 century underneath, all rusted and busted.

Nice clean winter beater, bro. When we wear them out, we can meet up halfway, and have a smash-up derby in a BK parking lot. Maybe that BK King asshole will run outside to stop us, and we can crush him in to oblivion. :lol

Yeah the north is hard on the cars. It's actually a wonder that the body on my Merc isn't worse off than it is after 19 years & 350,000km (1like 220k miles) of northern abuse. lol

 

i'll see if i can get some pics of my 87 cutlas up later. she's got a massive 3.8 liter 2barrell, power nothing, and she's lime green with rust holes.

 

Wussies and snow. WTF, Just drive the dam thing....I run into people all the time, "You gunna store it?", "Need a beater?" .
I got my ride out early this year and got hit with snow and drove it from NF to Buffalo and back many times. No problem, even when I was out before the plows, I have the:

Pirelli Tires - Pzero Nero M+S

The car handled it well with the Traction system and without but then I have been driving through snow since I could get behind the wheel and now is just another bump.
The other cars and drivers poise the greatest danger so keep a look out for them.

Now the real bitch is cleaning the sodium chloride out of and off of the car.

Not very friendly for sheet metal.

 

Wow everyone has cool winter vehicles like me

Heres my little winter vehicle. 95 F-150 4X4 5.0 5 speed

my truck is your trucks daddy.

 

I drive year round unless its actually snowing and accumulating.I have the choice of a 94 buick century (205k miles and runs like a champ) or my girls pt cruiser GT vert.

 

i drive a 1992 buick roadmaster for the winter it has a 5.7 and it is (sea salt red) it is cool when you could kill a honda in a car that is 21 feet long and like 4300lbs

 

I live in California... what's "winter"?

But I drive this 35 miles to school every day


Before you ask "wtf is it?" It is a 1990 Geo Storm GSi. 210,000+ miles and still runs strong. 130 crank hp too - it'll pull on stock civics and the like It'll beat rangers too

I lived out there a couple of times. Its like when you go up to the mountains to snow ski, except it comes home with you.

 

Oh. That sounds nasty. Then I'd drive this:

 

I throw the diggers on my stang back in MN. Its fun as hell to rip around on the ice too.

 

mustang + blizteks = go buy lifted trucks
today i went through 6 inches or so with out getting stuck keep in mind i am lowered. no problems... i am however only driving the mustang because my winter vehicle is not built yet...

 

i drive mine in the winter, it sucks and it wrecks my ****ing seats, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

I feel your pain energie. I've been there. Took me until I was almost 40 to be able to have a nice car I can park in the winter...and I can barely afford to do that, and have to drive a 200 dollar winter beater to do so. lol

 

i could have bought a 91 mustang gt hatchback for a winter beater, but the funds just arent available, especially around christmas, its either work to the truck or work to the bike, or work to the car and i never save up.
