I have finally figured out why I drive a beater.

People, co-workers, friends, and family have asked me over and over why I drive a "2nd" car in the winter and when it rains. I usually justify it by saying how the salt will rust the car and ruin the paint. How it will seize bolts. How the tires don’t handle well in the snow, how it sits to low to drive in heavier snow (they don’t plow my neighborhood streets for days after a bigger snow storm so this one is really true) and how I don’t want to wreck it because people don’t know how to drive in the snow here in Cincinnati.

Those are all well and good reasons BUT yesterday I FINALLY realized why I have a beater (which is different than a DD!!) I absolutely cannot stand the idea of my car getting as dirty as it would with the snow and slush it would accumulate in just one drive (Like yesterday). NO WAY!!! I can barely stand to go 2-3 days in the summer without washing it.<o

I don’t know why it took me so long to figure that out but that’s my real reason.

On another note, I’m just a normal guy not rich or monetarily wealthy by any means so I don’t have a "nice" car to drive as a 2nd car or a DD, instead I have a.... BEATER and I love it. I'm fortunate enough to be able to afford a car I can lean on in bad weather. Its a 1996 Honda Civic 4 door and OMG I love that little bi*ch. I bought it for $600.00 from my sister in law and I couldn’t be happier.
