GJ Triping, yeah repost

 

Call The Repost Police Now!

 

the cobalt IS the winter beater

 

Sorry. Didn't see that.

 

i don't see the need for a beater when you have a > $22,000 car. if you have one i guess why not. but i think that buying something so you can "save" a cobalt is silly

 

That is not the reason why I bought a beater. I bought it cause I don't have the money for a set of winter wheels/tires. I went through last winter with the balt and it wasn't very fun. It is was actually dangerous in the snow.

 

winter wheels are 600. you spent 1300 on a truck.

 

Car is lowered and I still think that the bottom line is that the car is not safe in snow. When we get snow we get a lot.

 

I have a 1989 Geo Spectrum for my Winter car. Cobalt is going in the garage tomor. for some mods and depending if it snows tonight will stay there for winter storage. My cobalt will not see the nasty winters here in PA. Its not the snow that hurts the car, its the ******* salt **** and rock salt. Will leave nasty chips in paint and corride the hell out of a car. My father had the Geo since new and it has 150k miles. Runs very good, I'll post some pics up when I get a chance. Well worth what I paid, 150 bucks. Thing gets 33-40mpg baby.

 

Heres mine...

Got to love Fla weather, when its too cold to ride the bike jump in the car...

 

93 Chevrolet Tracker, 10" Suspension Drop, Rolling On 35" Tires

 

Here's my winter beater, kinda like my summer one but not as cleannnn.

 

I run my SC in the snow on V-Rated Dunlop Winter Max M3's.... it's like a 4x4!!!
remove your lower grill insert for deep snow.... the deep snow in his driveway pushed up the bottom of the air damn up and popped out my lower grill last year in a buddies driveway..... I then proceeded to unknowingly run over it numerous times!!!!


I will be taking mine out this year

 

I lawl'd

 

I just bought a 94 civic dx for 550. Odometer is not accurate because someone replaced the gauge cluster from an automatic civic ( its a stick shift lol ) , heat doesnt work yet, needed new tires, brakes hardly work, exhaust leaks, radio doesnt work. Hmm what else is wrong with it.

 

I have 94 Nissan Altima, i did a ton of work to it over the summer including new brakes line, pads and rotors. Plus I did my own undercoating and repaired some rust spots along the wheel wells. Its got me through two hard canadian winters so far lol.

do you drive yours in the snow?

 

 

wow that's a ton of snow!

 

these are pics of when we first got it. This is actually my wife's car, but I drive it to work in the winter because of all the snow. the ss will be put in storage with storage insurance put on it.
