Any of you own a winter beater? If so, what does it look like?

Giulia

Ford five hundred, paint is cooked, AC doesn't work, rusty fragments rain out of the rocker plastic every time I kick it, but it refuses to die and it rides like a cloud

My winter beater is also my summer beater

me ol winter beater

Same here. Paint is not bad but the dog legs have left the chat.

What make has the best rustproofing? Volvo?

>>28630123
Cars that are made of aluminum unibody
So like Mercedes SL class and Corvette C7

>>28630134

Or Jags

>>28630278

00s Jags

Like a normal car since they don't salt here

>>28630123
Excluding new expensive aluminum meme cars the c4 corvette has excellent rustproofing and I've yet to see even a mildly rusty one that wasn't yard art. I assume the c5+ are good too but those aren't true beater price yet

Are you really driving a car without a back windshield in the winter cold?

>>28630945
it's got a heater core with a blower motor ziptied to it in the floor, it's not that bad.

>>28630014
I don't know why but the file name for that image gave me a good chuckle

Some 20-30 year old Audis were dipped in a fuckton of zinc at the factory. Many haven't really started rusting yet, even in places with winter temps around the freezing point and plenty of road salt everywhere.
No idea if they're still as good, but this is fucking VAG so they probably suck now. I guess we'll see in a decade or two.

looks the same as my summer beater, which looks the same as my daily

I love my Niva, it's so shit it circles back into being great.
That being said it's the only car ever where my feet aren't freezing during the winter.
Idk if I have weak circulation or some shit, but even in, back in the day, almost brand new BMW and Mercs my feet were freezing during the winter. Jap cars are even worse, they don't even attempt to make decent heaters for their cars.

Unironically, Renault has the best rustproofing, closely followed by Audi (excluding 2003-2008 era), and Volvo

Yeah, its efficiency is so shit that it kind of circles back to being great---poor efficiency means plenty of heat.
