A tribute to the "winter beater." You keep us safe, you allow our camaros to rest and hibernate throughout the winter.

Sadly, here i am being the OP and i do not have pictures of mine on my computer (i'm at work) so i'll upload later and add them to my garage too. I drive a black camaro and am so happy to be putting it in the garage this year (and a thank you to my camaro5 bros who gave good advice on storage)

my winter beater - a 2000 dodge durango with the 5.9L V8 engine and 4wd. Loud, obnoxious exhaust and big old tires make it a blast to drive in the winter.

Post your winter beaters if you have one!

2001 Buick Century. Good in the snow with all season radials. I learned from over twenty years of driving my Camaros in the winter that this is a bad thing to do. My 2010 SS is warm and keeping my Harley company for the winter.

2008 HHR SS is my winter beater. Sucks in the snow though.
