Because its a nice car that will get ruined if you drive it in the winter. Buy an old Ford Ranger for a couple thousand bucks for that.

It wont get ruined if you know how to take care of it. I drive my car everyday, and the only rust issue I have are all the hotside Turbo piping, and only because 1. NPG decided to use raw uncoated steel for some reason, and 2. The previous owner decided to wrap that steel in headerwrap, which just held all the moisture in.

Most of us dont have an extra couple thousand bucks for another car

Youve got an extra couple thousand bucks for a turbo kit.

So did you just skip over the part where I said the previous owner put header wrap on the pipes? Meaning that I bought the car with the turbo on it.

Its a 10 year old car, its meant to be driven, not kept in the garage all the time. If you want a garage queen, then buy a new car.

Not everyone has enough money to buy a new car.

And not everyone has enough money to spend a few thousand dollars on a winter beater

[BuckeyeSVT]

All of my winter beaters have been around $500... Mostly Tauruses that I could buy dirt cheap, fix up and drive for a while and then sell off for a profit.

My winter beater is my mystique when its not broken. besides that i really dont like to drive my SVT in the snow or salt.

...lock or ban?!

[BuckeyeSVT]

Bullitt is banned... I tried to go as long as I could, but when he started reaching with all that BS and the owner of the car himself (Kevin) asked me to shut him down I did. What's the point of listening to someone who isn't speaking for anyone and is actually just instigating something for his own amusement?

He can sit on the outside looking in, that's a great place for him.
