I DD my 350z

My beater is my 93 Jeep Cherokee. But it is lifted and locked and not very street friendly.

Daily drive the Z in the summer months, and then it's a 89' dodge dakota for the snow.

The Z's my new daily, but yeah if I was still in school, definitely would have held onto my old honda accord. Damn kids at school lots are vicious.

I wish I had a beater for this ****ty weather. But its still nice driving the Z through everything mother nature throws my way. It gives it character

With the way new cars are protected against this, I wouldnt worry too much as long as you hose it off occasionally during the winter months. 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.

Yup that's what I'm starting to hear now, I personally would just rather not have to bother with it, I don't mind either, the Geo gets about the same fuel economy as the RSX so I'm not missing out much, although hearing my VTEC kick in 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.
