This is only my 2nd winter since I was 17 that I didn't have a 2.8 5-speed thirdgen. This year I'm using an 89 GMC S15 Jimmy. I want my thirdgen back. I enjoyed driving that car in the winter.

I drive my 91 Integra. I put about 600-700 miles per week on it going to school. It is starting to fall apart but oh well it serves its purpose.

Bought an 89 Bronco full size 4x4 a few months ago. OMG this thing is indestructible fun. Had it up to the bumpers through creeks and running over little trees up the side of a hill. Had to test the 4x4 functionability

Thumbs up

1996 Chevy Monte Carlo LS....aka "The Montillac coup 'de Carlo"

Soon to be going into the Body shop for some minor crash repair so I will be driving what ever I can pick up for about 100 bucks or so. I have my eye on a 1997 cavalier that was in a rollover....A little work with a Tranny jack and a new windshield and she is good to go!

Peace,
Erik

AZ... umm well it gets down to the 50's-low 40's at night and highs of low 70's-high 60's are normal. l i wouldnt call it a BEATER for say, but i am riding my '02 r6 to keep the miles off the car. most would say "ur crazy, its to cold" but i have my leathers on and a neck thing *kinda like a ski mask, but minus the head part.. that make any sicne?!?! * and i am sweating by the time i get to work/home. ad i start work at 8pm and get off at 6 am. the car still has its front sway bar off and the 15x10 rims w/ 26x11.5 et streets still on, so i havnt driven it to work in about 3 weeks. but 50 mpg vs 20.. Hhhmmm ill take the bike

Driving the trusty old truck

I am driving a 1989 Chevy S-10 with 197,000+ miles. It is a 5-speed and it sucks in downtown traffic in central Ohio. I have nick-named it the rust machine because if it weren't for the rust holding it together I wouldn't have it. It has a pretty good paint job. Between the factory Black w/ chrome accents, primer (where the paint is peeling) and the rust. Just don't cut me off because I will hit you and I won't care if I lose. It will cost you more to fix your car than it will to sell my rust bucket to the salvage yard.
