rivierakid55 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 here's my current beater. not just a winter beater but a year round beater. 88 honda accord. no power anything, 208k on the clock, needs cam seal, new rack and couple other things but runs like a champ and gets around 30-35 mpg. got pulled over on saturday for having 6 month expired tags but copper didnt care as im paid just no smog. and here's my neighbor at work that prevents me from utilizing this parking lot to do burnouts.

DGIEPSS Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 here is mine it is a 1982 S-10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves1996 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 My year round beater is a '94 Lincoln Mark VIII with an all aluminum, double overhead cam, 4.6L engine that gets MUCH better mileage. It's got almost all the same goodies as the SSS plus air ride and it is 10 years older. It has 90k and no real problems. I really like this car. It's too bad that we no longer make a luxury sport coupe in this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eamonnschevy Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) not really a winter beater although i'm using it daily at the moment (untill my SSS gets here) i bought this to take my dogs down to the beach (wet dogs and nice trucks don't mix to well lol) its a Vauxhall Omega V6 2.5 liter which is a station wagon version of the Cadillac Catera, nice car but it ain't no SS Similar gas mileage mind lol Edited January 23, 2007 by eamonnschevy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budhayes3 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 My winter and summer ride are one and the same, only difference are the shoes and socks (285/50 20 Toyo Proxes on Gibbs in summer and 275/70 16 Toyo Open Country AT's on the factory aluminums in winter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 1990 Plymouth Acclaim 4 door. Brown with tan interior Ugly as sin but I put 30,000 miles a year on my beaters so they are worth every penny. Keeps the miles off the Typhoon and the SS. I found a 1993 Plymouth Sundance with 24,000 miles for 1500 OBO. Checking it out this weekend BTW, the beater isn't worthy of a picture in this thread.
