My car was in my garage all last winter; I was out of the area for 8 months, but I guess I will be buying some winter or all season tires when the time comes. Can't really see getting another vehicle to take care of.

2007 Stormy Blue 6MT
First year I got my 8, I put on about 22k miles. This is when gas was "only" in the $2-3 range. At the end of last year I got a 92 B2200 as my beater for $1200. Now 8 months and 15k miles on the beater later, my 8 just turned 25K miles, the money I saved on gas had already paid for the beater.

My beater is a 1997 Nissan Sentra GXE 5M in white with 180K miles. I get 30-32MPG in town and 40MPG on the highway. Of course, with 115HP (when new) it's not my 8. But then again, its not my 8 at the gas pump!

93 toyota corolla....but I always end up driving my 8 cuz I'm drawn to it. It has changed me. It has consumed me. It has rewired my way of thinking about driving cars. She's my preciousssss....! lol..just kidding.......... it's somewhat true thou.... Eventhou I have a beater, I'm embarrassed to be seen in it. So I barely end up driving it...LOL besides my gf hates riding in corolla cuz it is so umcomfortable to ride in and noisy........and speakers are shot...and it smells! lol
