Share your winter beaters!
I've had a whole slew of cars for DD's and beaters (over 20 vehicles in the last 10 years) but ultimately this is my favourite and my keeper.
'17 Ram 1500 lifted on Bilstein 6112's, 35" BFG KO2's and 17" Method NV's.
Best DD I've ever had, I can never go back to small car for a DD again. Just need another S2000 in the garage soontime.

2002 Mazda 323, SP20. We weren't offered enough for it when my lady wanted a new car, so I kept it as my shopping trolley, to save the good cars from car park dings. Funnily enough this one rarely gets dinged, & is still going great at 130,000 kilometres, 80,000 miles. It is the only front drive car I have ever been happy driving, the ladys Toyota is really horrible, but she likes it.
Dang that miata is clean though. Kind of a shame to get it all salty, no?
This cars arent winter beaters. These are new cars.
I have a 1995 VW golf MK III, 1.6, 75 Hp, 2 valve engine. Extras: 5-Speed manual transmission, servo steering, driver seat hight adjustable. Thats it.
No airbags, no air conditon, no anti lock brakes, no power windows, no central loock. Gas cap with key.
That is a winter beater!

And you're right. The wife's car isn't exactly a winter beater. But it is in pure winter beast mode right now.
My S4 on the other hand to me is a winter beater. I've had it almost 10 years now and it only gets driven in the winter. Summer it goes into storage and the S2k is my primary vehicle.
Good way to kill a car for...no reason?
