What do you drive in the winter? - Click HERE for Original Thread

For those of you who have winter beaters what do you drive? And for those of you who dont what do u drive?

rexxrally
I have an 86 Corolla GTS as my year-round daily driver, and I have an 85 MR2, which I intend on driving this winter, to get used to mid-engine on slippery surfaces, for rallying next year. I suppose that makes me not exactly your average driver here. Most people drive to avoid slipping and sliding, while I actually look forward to it!

haha this is a funny thread. my summer ride has too much power to be driving in winter, so last year i picked up an '81 citation. i bet some of you dont even know what it is. GM only made them for 5 years. lovely pieces of crap, love beaten the hell out of it, and it loves takin it! if theres anymore meets before winter hits you guys will get to see it.

Whaaaaaaat? You're planning on parking your car now? I don't think I could park my car while I'm still paying for it, making payments every month and not being able to drive it. That is unless I was super loaded and it didn't matter. As for me, I'll be driving my 96 Civic hatch..... just like always.

Anybody else here go out after the first big snowfall of the year, to go do donuts in the shopping mall parking lots before they open? RWD is so much fun.........
