    I know we have alot of race cars and show cars, But how many daily drivers/beaters do we have? I know my Mav's are far from show quality but I still enjoy them. Someday I'll find the time to to be proud to park in a show line but until then, I'll drive the wheels off of them.

    My car starts and runs, but needs serious cosmetic work. I guess it's considered a "beater" lol
    I admit I'm a bit intimidated by a lot of the cars I've seen posted here, the show and race quality cars.......amazing stuff.
    I don't think mine will even be up to "show" quality when it's done, but it's going to be one awesome daily driver! :D

    It lets you choose more than one, so mine is a race car that is still under construction and just for parts.

    While my goal is to have a really awesome daily driver, right now mine is in storage while I move, covered in primer or other fun stuff, multi-colored, uneven chrome stripping, etc. ;) She runs pretty decent though and I SO look forward to when she's down in KS with me and I can drive her a bit more regularly.

    I've noticed the vote is decidedly skewed towards fixer-upper. :dance: Amusing much? (y)
