If I were to...

[jcmonteman]

buy a beater piece of **** for winter what do you think would be a good choice, that would take the beatings, such as a foot of snow on the 3 miles of gravel i live on...or, me shutting the door with my foot...ect. (not really caring about it too much)

im thinking a 97 gp, just because its a gp and u guys wouldnt hate on me as much if i had one...

or my dads 95 f-250, but id have to buy spendy truck winter tires for it...

maybe an old jeep if i could get it for cheap

but when it comes down to it...i would not be getting another loan for the winter car, and id probs daily drive it most of the time, id get out my car for the nice summer days

what do you guys think...

[matt5112]

not a 97.

Unless its a GTP.

But are you ready for a blower?

Two cars at your age is unrealistic anyways.

[MoarkatsINmuhtrailer]

yeah insurance would blow. im guessing the car-slow is in your parents name?

[jcmonteman]

its funny how many people think my parents:

1. bought my car for me
2. pay insurance for me
3. think the car is under my parents name

this car is legitimately mine, my dad co-signed for the loan, thats all...and he still holds that above my head...lol

[MoarkatsINmuhtrailer]

well i just asssumed which was wrong of me lol but you gotta figure at that age (being a guy especially) that your car usuallly is under your parents name for insurance purposes. i didnt state that you didnt pay for it either. being from an old couple i assume that they didnt ask much for it. those are usually a steal haha

[mechguy]

4WD is sweet teets for winter.

[jcmonteman]

its ok dude, and yeah, the car is worth about $7500-8000 and i got it for $5000...but i had to redo the entire top half of the motor right away, $1,000 later...i gots me a car

[MoarkatsINmuhtrailer]

but i hate when people say that they are unstoppable in 4 wheel drive. you have to stop sometime and when you do..... 4x4 aint gonna stop you

[matt5112]

four wheel drive gets you off the line better.

THATS IT.

[jcmonteman]

nope...same breaking as a 2wd car...people like that are dumb...plus, more weight to stop

[MoarkatsINmuhtrailer]

right ^

[KeithGTP03]

I say get a Donk..that way you're 3 feet off the ground and it already looks like chit.

[redlinepontiac]

buy a civic

[MoarkatsINmuhtrailer]

hondas are expensive lol but run forever

[jcmonteman]

donk...no, i wouldnt be able to stand myself driving that...plus, id vandalize it lol

civic, lmfao...id love a civic...but they are too spendy for me, actually...my brother does have a beater civic, and he just got a new 09 civic, so maybe i could buy it for dirt cheap

EDIT: lol, im just waiting for someone to ask how many brothers i have...

[MoarkatsINmuhtrailer]

4? lol

[Grandprixchick]

I drove a 99 s10 2wd blazer with a 3in lift all winter with some bf goodrich all terrain and 3 sandbags in the back and never got stuck once. did all country road driving, drove down gravel driveways before they got plowed and was fine... now that i think about it i shouldnt of sold it when i got the gp could of been my winter vehicle..

[jcmonteman]

awesome guess dude...but i only have 5 lol...3 that are my actual brothers, 2 are my younger brothers in law...

[redlinepontiac]

ihave a 98 gt for a beater, buy one that need lim gaskets and get it for cheap

[jcmonteman]

^^ good idea
