Well after a bit of searching and debating, I finally got a beater!

Its a 91 CRX Si, in *rare* Tahitian Green (ok, its TEAL Trey!). 165k on the clock and still running strong. It has a couple of issues (drivers seat has no more "cush" left, aftermarket stereo wiring wierdness) but A/C blows cold and doesnt leak any fluids so I think its gonna give the R a nice rest during the week.

What else you guys have for beaters? I know quite a few of you guys have em.

 

Actually, my ITR started its life being the beater for this car:

The beater's beater's beater ended up being an '02 EP3, when the prices dropped below $16,000. Here's that car, parked on a side street in Culpeper Courthouse:



Plans to use a '94 Accord five speed as a beater were hijacked when the kids decided that it was time for another Honda Challenge car. Corey and Morgan are now in the process of getting the car ready for the racing season.

 

My beater is a 93 corolla dx. About 105k on the meter. Current plan is to sell within a week or 2 and get an 2nd gen RX-7 turbo. Well that or a 240sx, but i would be too tempted to do an engine swap on the 240.

 

the one on the right is my beater 95tsi awd

 

Man.

You need an intercooler.

:P

 

I have a plymouth voyagr with 200,000 miles for a beater.

 

I just traded my old truck for an 03' Nissan Murano...Love it!!!

 

bought a 1990 4 door white rusty civic for 200 bucks with 140k miles on it and did alot of rally with it, now its getting scary to drive everything wants to tear appart.. lol

 

Adding a pic "post-detail." Much better! Now just to get some decent tires and fix the stereo goofiness.

 

Nice beater Steve!

Im jealous. I have no beater. The R is the beater, the daily driver, track car, etc. =(

For now. The search continues...
