Winter beater problems

[M240Bravo]

This summer I bought a low mileage 997 for a winter beater, I only drive them for a year or two then replace it. But this car doesn't like cold snowy winters. So looking now for the next winters beater and replace this car now.

Wanted to ask what you guys thought or if anyone has had any of these or any other cars I should look at.





I'm thinking a

BMW 335xi
Audi RS4
GMC syclone
Nissan GTR
audi R8


I'm leaning RS4, but I'm open to other cars.

I think your definition of beater is way different than mine...

Beater and GTR in the same sentence. Wut.

I have a truck for a back up winter beater, I just hate having a full size truck in the garage with melting snow. Makes a big mess and spend more time cleaning and mopping out the garage.

That's why it stays outside.

Your budget seems a bit higher for a beater, but fun car for winter is the 2008 S6 Audi, it has the lambo V10. I have an 08 A6 with the 4.2v8 and that is a fun car. Put some blizzacks for tires and it works great in the snow and ice.

For 15k you can have a 4 door lambo.

Edit: searched and its not

So what model 997? What will you sell it for?

Remote start on the beater truck, problem solved.

My raptor does have remote start, but if it sits outside it gets covered in snow. I know it sounds like little things, but don't want to have to deal with it.

Sounds like you need to add a heated garage for the beater. I don't see how that can be an issue having a Raptor as a winter beater. Build it!

My garage is heated, but like I said it brings in so much snow and it melts over night then I have to push all the water, and mud to the drain. Then mop the floor once a month to keep it clean. Having a small car/truck/suv was nice because it doesn't really bring in the stuff like the raptor does.

Why’s it matter if the trucks snowy? Do you eat dinner off the fender flares?

Remote start truck 10 minutes before you leave = 80 degrees inside, with heated steering wheel. Good to go. 4WD, and enough power

I honestly don't think I've ever seen a more 'first world problems' thread than this. Lmao

Can definitely tell you don't live in an area that sees crazy cold overnight temps and regular snow. In the last week I've had a nice layer of ice on my truck that took me a solid 20 minutes to remove enough to see out the windows, and that was after the 10 minutes it took to brush all the snow off. Not to mention the ice buildup that has formed in the front of my door jamb on my drivers door. My next house, whenever that day comes, will definitely have a garage big enough for all my vehicles, heat, and a floor drain.

Wasn't trying to make it that type of thread. Just wanted other peoples input on it.

I can’t tell if this thread is serious or not
