My year round beater. The Camaro gets to be the garage King. The Tercel does the I5 experience everyday. I could not in good conscience drive my Camaro daily on the highways around here.

My best winter beater was a 2003 crown vic cop car with 130000 on it. That thing was a blast in the snow, spent half the winters sideways and loved it. Got tired of people thinking I was a cop though, going exactly the speed limit in front of me and making prolonged stops at stop signs, so during cash for clunkers I got a Honda Fit. It's actually a pretty decent car.
