The only thing I worry about is getting paint chips from the salt. Not tailgating and avoiding the interstates prevents this though. And a nice 3 mile commute to work doesnt hurt either.
And not tailgating is a good idea

Just picked up my new beater.... for free !!! Been working on it for 14 years. Father in law doesn't want to insure it or drive it anymore. Too big for him now he says. His loss my ride. She's all mine. No A/C though. For those hot days I'll drive the Pathfinder with the A/C.
I'm spoiling myself and lovin' it !!!

I don't think I have a beater but this is the roughest of all our vehicles.
Then we have our little Jeep.
The only pic I had on file that even partially shows the bike.(and the tractor, it looks pretty rough)
Also have a lowrider 72 Chevy.
And a lifted 72 Chevy.
Might as well throw the Z in here as well.
My wife and I both work right at one mile from home!

Work Boot= 91 Toyota Corolla $1600 FTW 15k mi since june 06
Anything that requires me to haul somethin or look like I aint broke= 02 Yukon
Weekend Car= 06 VW GTI (outgrown it in 7 months)
only bought the GTI because the 03-05 interior nauseated me and didn't know they made changes for 06, dooooooh. Probably gonna take the loss and get an 07. Can't see myself in my late 30's rollin the GTI, but you can roll a Z untill your a senior citizen. My uncle is 55 and is cool as shyt in his 91 300zx.
