Go buy a beater.

I am considering after I buy my townhouse getting a used (very used) buick or chevy. I want something that is not an eyesore or anything but not the prettiest car either. I don't care if it has dents or dings, scratches or whatever. What makes it special is that I can park it on the white house lawn and not give a shit what happens to it. Tow it, smack it, ram it, kick it, spray paint it, I DONT CARE! IT'S MY BEATER!
I don't have to drive in my Acura all the time and I have no one to impress so the heck with it. Besides, most rich people I know drive beaters, but they call them 328's and Ford F-150's.

Ernie, I'm thinking the same thing. I want an old 4WD vehicle that'll get me through all kinds of crap. I want a "Newark Airport Car".

I want a "BROAD STREET, NEWARK" car, but then again if it's on Broad Street it's probably stolen.

I'm thinking of doing something pretty neat, details later. First step is ordering the TLS cup holder, next step is talking to street effectz.............
