winter beater thread!

Booooo no wonder you got such a good deal.

My friend’s parents sold him their 2004 Mazda Protege, the highest model with like 50,000 km or less I think… for $2800.

5 spd, AC, etc, no rust.

s13Junkyard and Cal-Soy especially - nice choices! Volvo RWD wagon has to take the win though! Awesome.

I drive my winter-beater year-round…I guess deep down i’m an AWD fanboy… :stuck_out_tongue:

GTS: Best choice evar. Make sure you dont take those york region flex busses when the roads are slick though. Saw them trying to attack a hill last year after a big ice storm and the rear just flies all over the road. MAD dangerous.

My winter beater.

German engineering confuses me.

thats fucking hot. black on black wins.

Nope. 1200 bucks, with nothing required for safety or etest wins!

Nice cal got the same car for 450:P. And they can take a beating like no other!

Hey guys. what do you guys do about insurance for the winter beater? do you get another policy or can you get one policy which transfers from one car to the other?

I keep one policy. I just let them know that i’m suspending insurance on that car and i want to add another car under the same policy. My company didnt but other companies may charge you a premium for adding another car. And then they adjust your rates according to the model of your car.

Same here. I just tell my insurance lady that I am switching over to a winter car… they understand. (Especially because I’ve insured… 10? cars in the past 10 months with them… due to my business).

I know some are a bit stingier though.

i just switch it over. they’re going to want a safety if i want to insure the 240 again in the spring.

rocking a 4 door '93 civic this year, no pictures yet though.

That S4 is beautiful! Damn, some sick cars here!! beater are awesome! lol

I wish I had pictures of my 2 Tempos and 1 Topaz!!! lol, those cars were sick!!

This is my beater for this winter:

not much of a beater! hahaha

Not quite a beater, just HUGE fun!!! lol I can’t wait for the first snow storm. I heard they had like 1 meter of snow in South Dakota the other day, I wish I was there! lol
