Winter beaters

lol.. If you could find one of those older Legacy GT's, that would be cool.

the older 2.5l Subaru motors are really bad. i've owned 3 of them. 1 of them lifter tapped alot, the other one i bought already with a bad motor, and the 3rd which was a legacy GT blew on the way home. and i sold the body for more then what i bought it for.

Those motors are really good, but theyre just such pos. I had a simple 4.9 I-6 F150 4wd 4 speed, it did great in the snow and lasted me a really long time. The roads there are really messed up, so that made it alot less annoying to be up a little higher.

this looks right up your alley. i dunno if its for sale or not:

Well ask your dad if he wants to sell his truck?

Mid-september through mid-may. The only other season here is simply referred to as 'not winter'

[FredK]

All winter? What's that, October through May?

I was actually being kind of serious. There's a kid I work with who says he makes a living all winter by cruising around in his samurai looking for people to pull out of ditches.

[FredK]

Yeah, I ran a bronzit E30 last winter. It was pretty good, actually. With skinny snows, it was pretty nice.

[Ryan...]

^^ That actually doesn't look half bad.

i already bought my winter car. 90 325is. incapable of idling, doors have to be SLAMMED 5 times before they close, gay blacked out everything (which i hate), rides like shit, and has not failed me once in a month and half daily-ing it. just need tires, preferably snow tires. 1600.



basically what im trying to say is buy an AWD Impreza for sure.

[Ryan...]

I just picked up a 91 Jeep Cherokee last year for $800, 4wd, 4 door, little body rust, and only 210k miles.

I say get a suzuki samurai. Necessarily cute for the ladies, but also surprisingly versatile vehicles. The Kurosawa associations that come with it are a freebie.

True. I think I'd carry an ornamental samurai sword around as if I were warrior-class or something.

Available in convertible or hardtop, it allows you to shed your masculinity with the top for any occasion. Picture you and your girlfriends driving around listening to Katy Perry with Caramel Macchiato's in hand, talking of the many ways the inadequate men in your boring and uncertain lives don't satisy/appreciate you. Didn't I say it was versatile?

I was with you until you said Caramel Macchiatos. :oops:

Perhaps a local ad said it best:

**HAS RUN ON THE HARDEST TRAILS AT BIG DAWGS WEST VIRGINIA WITHOUT A PROBLEM**

Funny thing is, I know what Big Dog's is.

LOL. The 1st gen Impreza is a good choice, as they can be had easily for under $2K.
