Ford Mustang: What do you drive as a beater?

Not a beater, but my daily driver is my '94 white lightning:

Well, that depends. I have two rides, and it really depends on which one i
have torn apart as to what i drive. I've also got so much $$$ invested in each
i hate to call one or the other a "beater". For almost a year i've been
driving my 5.0 2wd Ranger only, even in all the snow PA saw last winter. It's
a handfull in the snow with such a light backend and the 3.73's, but a light
pedal and studded snows help some.
I've been driving that all year bcause my other project isn't quite done.
'82 Jeep CJ8 "Scrambler". Rare, only made for 5 years, and less than 28,000 of
them. It's been getting a big transplant.... lift, axles, transmission,
transfer case, engine, about a dozen other upgrades, all at once. It's nearly
done, so i can do more work on the 5.0. HEADS NEEDED!!

Winter 02-03 - 1989 Probe GT (1985 Mustang GT for a week or two due to minor
transmission issues)
Winter 01-02 - 1988 Mustang GT w/ winter treads - cammed up with dead
locker. Interesting combo
Winter 00-01 - 1992 Mustang Convertible (4-cyl 5-speed) and 1986 Capri (5.0
5-speed) - neither had winter tires.
Winter 99-00 - 1988 Cavalier Z24
Winter 98-99 - '97 Nike (still - logged over three miles a day on them
puppies.. lol)
Winter 97-98 - '97 Nike (just like my summer ride - same pair of Nikes)
Winter 96-97 - '95 Nike + '83 Mustang Convertible 3.8L V6
Winter 95-96 - '83 Mustang Convertible 3.8L V6

What will Winter 03-04 bring? Either the '89 Probe or an AWD turbo DSM car
(Laser/Talon/Eclipse). I'm hoping to find a nice DSM car in good shape,
regardless of price at this point. I need a project ricer. ;-)

Actually, last year was the first year I actually had a "winter" car. The
other years I drove those cars all year round. I also drove the Probe all
year 'round, but I also had a few other V8 Mustangs in there.

Winters where I live don't require that I store my Mustang, but I still
prefer to keep it for cruising on nice days and evenings only. For this
reason I owned a 93 Escort wagon for several years.
It was in outstanding condition, and I never had any trouble from it.
I'd added a few things to personalize it, like window vents, tint,
custom wheels, and a nice stereo.
Eventually I wanted something with more ground clearance, so I sold it
to buy a 96 Explorer. I've personalized it the same way, and it is my
daily driver to work and on less-than-perfect days.

paid $500 for it. The tranny went out on it a couple of weeks ago, will have
to fix it soon.

Congrats on your GT!

I have a 93 Ranger 4WD 5 speed, it has 226,000 miles on the original engine
and most everything else. I have only replaced the water pump, starter,
radiator, and motor that engages the 4WD, of coarse I have replaced brakes
tires mufflers belts and all the regular wear and tear things. I did put a
clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing at about 180,00 because the
throw out bearing went. I have had it since it was new in June of 93 and it
has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I just got my annual
state inspection sticker for it Saturday, (made it one more time). I think
I can squeeze one more Winter out of it but that's about it, The area
around the radiator is so rotted, probably from the road salt up here, that
I am afraid the whole nose is going to blow off someday on my way to work.
