Is the Corvette the best winter beater?

>used models are cheap AF now
>Amazing handling with snow tires on
>Incredible power to help you avoid idiots in shitboxes
>doesn't rust

I see your Corvette and raise you the B5 A4.
>can be had for sub-1k
>interior is a pretty decent place to be
>mechanical AWD
>fully galvanized body means very little risk of rust
>unkillable 1.9 TDI was an option, 1.8T was also available and can make pretty good power
>will probably run fine for one season before needing any major repairs

Yes.

>a sub-1k audi

That's a downgrade from walking.

Why the hell are you guys buying sports cars for the winter? just get the cheapest FWD clapbox you can find and a decent set of winter tires.

>buying an Audi
>buying a used Audi
>buiying a cheap, used Audi
>ever
Fucking kill yourself you inbred poorfag badgewhore slav scum.

I raise you, a GC/GF Subaru.
All the positives of the said Audi (sans rustproofing).
It also has more interior space, it's lighter. Parts are cheap, big aftermarket.

I'd personally take the galvanized Audi because I live in a place that heavily salts the roads, and since the B5 A4 shares almost everything with the B5 Passat, parts are pretty cheap still.
Valid alternative though, especially if you live in a place that doesn't use salt.

Did an Audi driver fuck your girlfriend or something?

No, it's called being nice to your wallet. I love what Audi does with tech but sometimes the cars are moneypits at high mileage.

No, OJ Bronco is best Winter Beater
>bigger than a pussy Wrangler or Jap shit
>won't rust like a CK Blazer
>351W nuff said
>Built Ford Tough

Why not bronco ii

Fag wagon

Why aren't all "winter cars" using galvanize dmetal for lno rust?mm?

RWD is more fun on the snow, handbrake drifts are inferior to the real thing

>having fun in a car in the snow
marty, i'm scared!

>winter
>rwd
are you a homosexual or something?

>under 1k b5

obviously you have never grappled with this utter mess of a car in regards to reliability and repairs.

>Buy for $6.5k needing new head gaskets n such
>Use for 4 months
>Sell for $6.5k still running kinda good/ kinda bad

>tfw you will snow drift in parking lots a ton this winter while southern fags will be stuck handbrake drifting
WHEEEEEE

fucking THIS
any Audi, and ESPECIALLY the B5, is a fucking terrible choice for a "winter beater" as they're all horrendously unreliable, bafflingly retarded designed pieces of fucking shit

only the trashiest of subhumans drive B5s in Europe, see also

Nope, even with the traction control on it can still break loose on dry pavement. Also, you'll be stuffing the brake ducting with snow. And the frame is still susceptible to road salt.

The Subaru market is an interesting one.

>Look at Subaru's as I find them neat
>Literally base my purchase decisions on looks alone: all cars have problems and I like fixing them
>What the fuck is wrong with this market, prices are outrageous for non running cars
>Try and talk people down, but they just go off and tell me they'll hold onto it
>Finally buy a running WRX for 4700
>Fixed numerous little issues here and there
>Fun in the snow, enjoyable on a summer day
>Couple years later, last year, get bored of my Subaru
>Engine is starting to knock ever so slightly when you let off the throttle
>Don't feel like pulling the engine again as I just had it out for a clutch job
>Look at other listings to get a price idea - prices have gone up for broken cars
>Didn't put a price on my ad, just $1
>Sold it for $6100

I'd say he was a clueless college kid. Him and his buddies showed up, looked at it, and then offered me cash right there and then. It was the weirdest sale I've ever been apart of.
>Group of college kids showed up in a loud Lexus or Toyota
>They all start walking around the car
>I walk up and introduce myself
>I start telling them what I've done, how long I've had it
>Guy asks me why I'm getting rid of it, tell him I think it's developing a knock
>At this point they're asking if they can start it
>Not one kid can talk at a time, they all have to say something at once
>Car starts up, they popped the hood
>They're sticking their faces right up to the engine bay listening
>Heads moving back and forth just listening
>Not a word was said for a brief moment
>One kid gets in the driver's seat and starts revving on the engine
>I'm worried at this point as one kid is wearing a hoodie and the hood strings are dangling near the accessory belts
>They probably spent a solid 10 minutes just listening and talking amongst themselves
>One kid walked up and asked if I'd take 6,100 cash right now

They never test drove it or anything. Just mindless revving.

A cheap Audi is an expensive Audi.

>unironically believing this
Confirmed for never having owned an Audi, let alone a cheap B5. These things are a total bitch to work on and constantly need repairs.
