Picked it up last night after work and just got back from getting the windows tinted. Next is a nicer radio. 2003 Grand Marquis GS. 73,000 miles.

These are all pretty damned nice cars for DD/beater service. Am I the only one here who drives an actual beater?
'95 Subaru Legacy, $400, AWD, and 180,000 hard fought miles. Bought it about 4 years ago, been a good car actually, it's just fugly as hell.
Stage 1 weight reduction:
Check out the sweet aftermarket brake cooling duct on the door jam:
Look at these 14" meats:
One thing I enjoy about this car is that it's old enough to use 10w40. I love the look on the parts counter guys face when I have to ask if they have any. :cool4:

'08 F350 Lariat Super Crew, work truck and daily driver. Nothing fancy. When I'm feeling brave I fire up my '86 4Runner. Not very comfortable to drive in the winter, I backed into a light pole and exploded the rear window. Toyotas don't have heaters that can keep up with an open window at -30 C!

My daily driver is a 2012 Nissan Versa. No power seats, locks, or windows. Dumping a lot of miles on it and didn't need to spend money on gizmos.
Other than that, still got the Crown Vic http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=82282 The carb started to crap out on my so its still at the shop. The mechanic sure seems to having trouble getting it working right.
If the vic's got a Variable venturi on it / there is a Holly replacement for it ,direct bolt on. :banana:

Just another Marauder owner
2004 GMC Sierra Crew Z71. 170k miles and still going strong.
Not really a winter/DD, it is just a truck for the family. I use it in rain, or when I am working in dirt/mud. It gets washed when it rains and a couple of times a year. Once a year it is waxed, just before little league opening day as it a float puller.

This is winter where I live. My dad went south last week to Montana to pick up his new Studebaker, told me the most scared he's ever been in his life was when his '04 GMC with a 28' car hauler went sideways on some black ice on this same highway.

This is my new Daily/Winter beater. 1988 Buick Century 2.8 v6 with 88K miles. Old lady owned it since new, she got old and wedged it between two garages and I bought it! Just glad I get to park the Marauder in the Winter.
This here is my other part-time job ride. Chevy Equinox all black LED's hidden on it all over the place. Lights up like a Xmas tree. Got a 3.4 v6 AWD and a custom console and cage.
