I bought my "beaters" in Spring and sold them in the Summer ... Oops

Depending on what happens in the next month or so, I'm waiting for the 2012 Prius to come out and that will be my "beater" ... or it will be a Metrocard.

I need a beater! My bike has been my beater, but its getting too cold. Last winter I was able to use my parent's truck, but I will have nothing this year. Are old civics (90's) able to handle the snow?

8 grand would have bought you a great beater lol


I wouldn't say light front wheel drive cars handle the snow great but with a set of winter tires and on plowed roads or light snow fall you should be more than fine.
