So how many of you Guys and Gals have a Beater/Daily Driver as well as your S2k?
I picked up an 1985 Mercury Topaz with 85,000 miles for $150.00 to use as my B/DD.
The S2k is far to nice to park at my work (spaces too small=(dings)plus lots of theft)

Not bad for $150! Hopefully it will last you a while
My beater is an all-stock 1986 Acura Integra 3-door with 181,000 miles which I purchased 6 years ago. It's in good but not great shape. Excellent as a commuter car

My S2k has got it made.
I drive it from my garage at home into a parking garage at work - always protected. I've got to since I own a black car in Texas. Ever gotten into a black car when it's 105 degrees outside and your car been sitting in the sun all day?
I've got a truck I drive in to work when I don't want to drive the s2k - like when it's raining.

Mine is a 1987 Volvo 760 with about 97,000
miles on it. Had it since new in late 1986.
Leaks a little oil and has a drive shaft
"klunk" but other than that runs great. Certainly not as fast as the stook but it will move on down the road.
