Help me find a new DD

[AaRoN]

Oh okay, i was going to select some imports that sip gas, but i can see you don't really care about gas mileage lol

Yeah i don't have to drive very far, on long trips i'd drive the new Escape.

I might even just drive the Mustang and buy some new stuff for it... i can't decide.

There you go.

How about a 96-97 V8 Thunderbird?
I have one as a DD and love it. It's confy, enough power to get through the week without driving the stang and it's not bad looking at all.
In stock form, the 4.6 in a TBird doesn't drink a lot of gas being easy on the pedal.

OR! an Escort GT ?

Only problem is Winter, my car has never seen road salt in 13 years and i don't want to start now.

The Tbird is on my short list since i can use my 2V parts that i already have laying around on it.

There you go, you can also have some fun with the TBird so you don't miss your stang that much and you have the stealth/sleeper factor in a TBird doing some mods.

Don't drive your car in the winter, you're way better off spending a G or two on a beater any day.

 

[ARdoller]

you guys worry way too much about snow and road salt. all of my cars have seen snow and road salt every year, and the paint on all of them look(d) great. my car's paint is fine. i even drove with my hypercoated wheels all winter this past year, not a single problem with them, they look just as nice as they did last fall.

 

[ARdoller]

this was my car this winter

and this was it a few weeks ago. it looks fine.

 

[ARdoller]

ive never had rust on any of my cars either.

 

[DropTopPony]

Its not rusty paint you worry about. Its the places you can't see that you worry about.

 

[OnyxCobra]

Yeah even though it is hard on the car it's more the thought about what it's doing to pretty much everything under your car. The paint is probably the last thing you need to worry about when driving a car in the winter, nothing a few coats of wax won't protect; except when a salt truck passes you going the other way and slings salt all over your God damn car.

Salt? Winter? Snow? Wtf?

like ive already said, none of my cars have ever had rust. im under my cars all the time, no rust.

 

[OnyxCobra]

my car hasn't seen water in 5 years and my car has some rust under it so i find it hard to believe you drive your cars all winter every winter with zero rust. Regardless winters are still harder on cars, sand and salt all over the roads and also ice on the car/flying off other cars. i see it all the time during the winter.

 

[mic_lx]

so.... which car will be the DD then?
