    Post your winter beater!

    For all those stuck in winter wonderland, and drive a seperate vehicle in the winter, let us know about it.

    For me, I drive a 1986 Olds Cutlass "Supreme". Decent car, 4-door with clean interior (velvet seats [img]graemlins/banana.gif[/img] ), replaced engine and tranny. Studded rear snow tires, don't really help since there is no weight in the rear. But so far it has gotten me through everything... Few problems with it though. Gas gauge doesn't work, found that out the hard way. Ran outta gas, the gauge stays on full. But I think it is getting unstuck or something, today it showed half a tank, but hovered between half and 3/4 tank. Doesn't like cold weather - sometimes the choke gets stuck open, sometimes it stalls when putting it in gear. I have to learn to press the brake with my left foot while still tapping the gas with my right, but its hard since my left foot is used to a clutch pedal. But otherwise, its a good car and will hopefully last me throughout the winter. No pics yet, but they will be coming soon. Now its your turn.

    Also, here is my other winter toy (2002 Honda Recon 250ES).
    This is me...


    And here is my friend on his 2003 Honda Rancher... (I'm such a good photographer)

                The nickname I gave it on cardomain was "the winter beater".

                  Technically I don't have a car during the winter. I just use my sisters most of the time since she is in college and doesn't use a car. So I guess I have to say my "winter beater" is a 02 Oldsmobile Alero.

                              Really though, when it snows every few years here I drive this.



                              Other than that it pretty much just sits except when we need to haul dirt or something or when I take my waverunner out because it's a lot easier to see out the back of than the Trailblazer.
