I just have one car all year round. I mean, most of the winter, the road is rather dry. Snow is snow but when it is shuffled to the side, the road will be dry anyway. Ya salt is no good but just wash your car at coin op and spend a good 2 bucks on that power washer and spray that **** down beneath once every 2 weeks and that's fine. For me anyway.

Hoping to have a '92 Topaz as the beater, but I'm still waiting to see if the CRX can hibernate.

Personally, I will be driving a 1987 Honda Accord 4 Door Rustbucket with a mint interior new clutch, no radio, dome light, cracked windshield, flat back tire, trunk wont close, engine didn't start today POS


Oh yeah, it has well over 340 000 kms as well.


I know that it is just the battery that needs to be charged but I had no time today.


So, what do you have ?


haha
the engine fired up fine today...

Too bad you didn't want to race my buddy's 'stock' 99 ek....

i got me a 88 DX with ducktaped headlights, the front passenger side wheel is 2 inches farther back then the driverside and suprisingly drives in a straight line, if you go over 70 the horn dosn't work, well it tries, if u go over 80 the windsheld wipers flap about and don't touch the window, if you go over 100 and its raining a stream of water will spray in under the windsheld at the passenger. Other then that it runs mint!







^^^^ thats a coat hanger where the radio should be, it controls the heat, push for heat, pull for cool. Sweeet
