Default Winter beaters

For those of you parking your S2000s, what will you be driving for the winter? Post up a pic so we know who to wave at around town

Here is my Mazda 626 with custom painted gold-lip steelies

Last year I drove an '82 Tercel around, but I sold it in March.

This year I only have my S but I'm keeping my eyes out for a good beater

I would have agree'd with you, up until this last winter where we got DUMPED on.... my S would not move a foot in the kind of snow we had last year...

Well my main reason for a beater is so my S isn't at the mercy of vancouver drivers. I'm sure I don't need to tell you how bad they are in general... But reduce traction and the roads get scary. I'd much rather be rear ended in a shit mazda than the S. Plus I can't load up friends and snowboards in the S to head up the mountain..

My car must be a lot lower than your's then Because I couldn't go anywhere without turning into a giant snow plow

I'm sure a stock height S2000 with snows can do quite well.
