…soo i wont be purchasing one this season, but i know for a fact i dont plan to drive the s13 next season. Now, i’ve strongly decided this morning i will DEFINATLY be buying a beater, no doubt lol. SO! What are your suggestions? I’d pick up something good in the snow, cheap and reliable…and thats about it. Dont care for looks, dont car for speed…just need to get to work and whatnot without worrying if my car will make it down my street in a foot of powder, and a layer of ice underneath it. All while not having to leave it stranded on the side of the road (in my neighbourhood) until i arrived back home from work…at which point my father had to drive me lol. …suggestions… ---

Depends how cheap you wanna go, you can get a Ford Tempofor really cheap (under 1000$) and they are tough and great in the snow (with good winter tires) and parts are cheap as fuck. muffler is like 25$, rotors 15$ brake pads 20$ ---
