Yup got a beater, and I got the storage for the kouki. I will never drive anything that I care about in the winter. Last year I was sitting at a red light and some guy rearended me. Luckily I was in my beater. My rear end was fucked, he was in a 2008 Rogue and had at least $4000 damage. OF COURSE no snow tires.

Im also wondering, i have a 240 with no rust. I want to store it but don’t want to deal with some peace of junk beater. I work really close to home, like 5km. is it worth it to just winter drive it? only to work and back, wash it alot, plus i just did the krown rustproof. or to just get a beater?

Meh, rust proof and you’ll be fine.

I drove my red 240 that didn’t have any rust other then on the rocker which I found before winter. I covered it in rocker guard every week and it never grew. It was later fixed when I sold the car and still sits nice and mint.

Depending on my financial situtaion I may just be driving my 180 after I get it undercoated. I fear wrecking the car before rusting, as we all know summer drifters use the winter as practice time.
