I guess one man's beater is another man's dream. The clean GC beater> a 'beater' that's actually fun to drive

i have a 1997 4 door honda accord (special edition) lol..i have had this car for 5 years now and its still running strong. i gave it to my sister for about a year, and she racked a lot of miles on it. i have 126k on it and the last time the oil was changed.. well i couldn't even tell you. i just recently decided to fix it, so now i am putting new tires/brakes/front bumber/head lights/ new fender( i accidentally hit a cone pretty hard..) and a maaco paint job. i hate to put money in that car, but it needs it, plus i dont want to rack up the miles on my STI.
right now its lowered with some 17'' motegi wheels.. its actually a nice beater, and its going to look and drive a whole hell of a lot better too.
sorry no pics, but i will take some and post later

I have a 98 Integra LS non vtec ( Slower than molases) LOL!!!. Its got about 100,000 miles and burns a quart of oil a month. But oh well, it gets me back and forth to work. Plus I'm able to keep the STi clean longer since It rains just about everyday in Tampa! LOL!!!

Here is my new beater.. it is a 85' mazda GLC LX with 48,000 on it only.. les then my sti!

SUBY2.5 · 08-10-2007, 01:29 PM

This is my beater. I have had this for 7 years. I was going to do a full swap but ended up getting the sti instead. I was supposed to get rid of it when I bought the sti but it quite didn't work out that way. i am glad I kept it.

Nice! How many miles on it? Had any problems with it? I'm looking for an off-road beater myself.

It's a 99 v6, 5 speed with electronic locking rear differential, and it has 118,000 miles on it. It runs great. I have had no problems with it at all. I wouldn't trade it in on a jeep with half the miles

94 GSR w/158k on it! Kind of an autox project/DD while my STi gets a new motor.
