Winter beaters
I don't know about the majority of you guys and gals on here but I for one hate driving my car in the winter. Upstate NY spreads salt like there's no tomorrow and it would drive me insane trying to constantly keep my baby clean.
So thankfully Jimmy Jeep saves the day  What do you guys use in the winter? |

It's not a winter beater because I live in Texas, but we have a '01 Explorer we use for daily duties whilst the BMWs sleep in the garage. My wife bought it new when she was still in college, and I've kept up with it over the years...

It looks so good! Jeez... I remember when I was looking for a beater and every SUV older then a 2008-09 looked like garbage with a side of rust. Great job ! |

1990 YJ Wrangler. I don't really need a winter beater here in MS but I use it for hunting and camping or for trips to the garden store.

Not a beater either, just my daily.
Can't get enough of that V8 sound...

This also helps my v8 withdrawal symptoms after selling my e92 m3s
Still need to paint the brake calipers, since they are all rusty (ex Boston car) And replace the exhausts with dual tips .JPG)

But I travel for work 80% of the year. So when I am home, I just take the 535. Looking forward to El Niño next year..
