Winter Beater
For those of you who store your G, what do you drive around in the winter?
I'm waiting for winter to go away to sell my cadillac and get my G but next winter I'm buying a 2000ish silverado 4x4. Can't deal with RWD in Canada!

my beater is my first car. 00 civic si. i was going to sell it when i got the g, but i made the choice to keep it because i went back to school. good thing because of gas and my civic has be hit 3 times this year in the school parking garage. i only drive the g at night and on weekends. my area only get snow every few year, if it does snow ill use my parents tahoe
My beater is a 00 honda accord ex sedan 4 banger. Even though I was driving the G more when I first got it cus I couldn't help it...I have learned to drive it less and drive the accord.
my beater is a 94 Grand AM 4CYL. this is the first winter with my g and i didnt realize just how bad it was in the snow with summer tires
, i couldn't even get out of my driveway after the first snow storm. next winter i might try some good winter tires, i cant stand not driving the g for this long..

Mine's a 2001 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 that I stuffed some 32" tires onto. It's just a 2.7L 4-Cylinder truck with a 5-speed manual, but it's a blast to drive and gets halfway decent fuel economy for a truck, is dead reliable, and will drive through/over anything nature throws its way. I love it.
One of the less-obvious awesome things about driving a high truck in the winter is that you can see over those snow mounds at intersections. When I used to drive my 240SX as my winter beater, I would pull up to intersections and basically have to play Russian Roulette with my car trying to guess if any other cars were coming because I couldn't see a damn thing beyond the high snow mounds.

Wife has a 2003 Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan, and I have a 2007 Subaru Outback LTD. We drive the Suby pretty much exclusivly in the Winter because it is so good in the snow.
