$1500-2000 for winter beater. What should I get?
Keeping the G tucked away this winter. Last years Indiana salt really didn't do any good especially with my commute. So what should I get for a winter beater???

How about a Porsche?.........LOL
Seriously, whatever you buy, make sure its a safe and reliable auto to cart you around.. I'm thinking of doing the same thing, or just invest in the 17" rims and snows for the winter......
I bet you can pick up a civic or toyota for the money......but then it will cost you a little with insurance and registering......

As long as you keep your car clean, the road salt during the winter doesn't do anything to your car. During the winter, invest in some Zaino and weekly car washes, keep your winter & tire package that you already have, and you'll be just fine for the winter.

i'm sure that your statement about the road salt not ruining your car as long as you keep it constantly clean may be true. however, i would think that road salt has got to do something to the car's finish, rims, or underbody. and to washing the car constantly may not be convenient--and that's to say the after every washing you can get all of the salt off the car and underbody.

I live in texas... whats this salt u are talking about? Is this salt found in snow or is it put out by ur states on the roads to melt ice or something? lol im glad that its still like 60* at the coldest in texas summers. *i live in houston and it gets down to like 40sh sometimes during winter* i would hate having to keep my speed undercontrol during ha couple of months.

There is sand and salt on the road from road workers trying to melt ice/snow with it. They are a great mix to melt things quicker. Its also a great mix to damage paint and stick to your car...
