    Winter beater that makes the winters easier...

    I know some of you guys drive your e30's in the winter (chris) but I'm just not into it. Putting our cars through that kind of punishment isn't fair, and if you can afford to get another car and have a place to put the e30 for the winter, why not?

    Well, up until now, the downside has always been giving up some of the fun factor you get driving the e30 when getting a winter beater. The past few winters I've been in a Honda Accord - needless to say, there's nothing "fun" about driving the car.

    But I'm borrowing my friend's Wrangler he has for sale, and I told him I'm gonna buy it. I'll tell you this thing is an absolute blast to drive. Insanely short wheelbase means it's so easily maneuverable around town, you're up high so you can see all four corners of the vehicle, and with a 5 speed and I-6, they're pretty damn quick too.

    It's no e30, but it's a perfect winter car to keep you happy while the snow falls. I can't stop smiling, and I keep finding excuses to take the thing out :)

    Just a thought to those of you who may be considering getting a winter car.

      Hey, I thought about you today. Yeah, I was in a sauna, and the dry, choking heat made me think - Devon lives in AZ - awesome!

            get the 'ix' - best damn winter car for the money + lots of fun!
            I used to have the ix and brand new Benz ML back 5 years ago, the ix on snow tires was hands and sholders above the ML in the snow and on ice!

                this is why I have an ix.. E30 fun year round. I do feel bad when I get smacked with rocks and sand though, but at least they don't salt the roads here!

                  winter beater this ahha


                  traded this for my wrangeled eta. Seats are worth more than the eta is. Needs paint and a head unit. But she pulls hard other than that.

                          i got a slammed eta for winter. best of both worlds. don't put my touring through any punishment, and i still have an e30 for winter.

                          i love dorifto, definately different in a lowered car tho (last eta in winter wasn't lowered).
