Is Veeky Forums driving a beater?

I upgraded from a shitbox to my nice 15YO avalanche

you bet i am.
$500 FWD 1.5L 4 banger with sub 100HP and no working locks.
treat it like shit, but spare parts are cheap and plenty so I'm not that fussed. it doesn't break down that often anyway.

That's a pretty good-looking beater. Like, the hollywood idea of a beater.

What's a beater look like to you then?

You better fucking believe I am

More rust, less shine and A E S T H E T I C panels of a different color.

I swear I had the exact same car color except on a 1990 Mazda 323. That car was so reliable and I treated it like shit, mainly cuz it looked like that but God do I miss it.

thats not a beater you're just autistic

my car
>purchased for $50 + tow dolly rental

looks like someone took a shit and molded it into a car

at what point does a shitbox become a beater?

when cursed by negro magic

my car cost $7500, would that count as a beater?

AYYYYYY
2005 avalanche 1500 base here. Only option i have is flexfuel

Thinking about just getting the cheapest BMW to fuck around with it and to learn to go sideways with it as my first car and just still commute with a bus
Any reason not to do it?
Pic related is for ~400 usd

28 year old shitbox creeping up on 440,000 miles, I'd say so

eh sort of

tons of little shit is broken but nothing that actually effects the driving so I don't really care

wouldnt like 1-3k be a shitbox?

2K purchase.
167 000 kilometres
No breakdowns.
Typical woman driver slammed into the side causing 2K damage.
It's a beater after that.

>all that literal crap that would fly off at higher speeds

Only in America, where you're not allowed to drive faster than 5mph.

>and just still commute with a bus
???
Do you hate having money?

when you stop caring about damage and proper maintenance as long as it runs

>24yo 170k miles with a dozen rust spots smaller than a penny visible on the panels

yeah I guess desu
thing is worth less than a 20yo corolla to boot

???
Bus is cheaper

I'm a eurofag, especially in my city monthly bus card is cheap as fuck, I think it's around 10$

Yep. My car is such a fucking beater that people who drive other beaters make jokes about it.

the glass looks good not bad t'all $400

Unless you've saved enough to retire right now, buying a brand new flashy car is 100% retarded. Some people might look down their nose at your turdbox, and those are the same people who will lease a FWD Benz CLA250 cuckbox with the optional light up badge on the nose. Basically, fuck em.

I work for the government and get a transit subsidy.

Looks like a tidy civic to me.

I wouldn't consider it a beater.

Yes.
I've been slowly downgrading as each car I get ends up destroyed by weather/random chance.

I'm driving my dad's beater while my beater is down.

yes

I wish

Yes.
Rusty SAAB 9000

Hopefully gonna buy this thing for 400 bucks next week.

9/10
Would get raped in.

Beaterfags can go to hell. Around here, all of them drive like jackasses and retards.

It's probably what happens when you drive a $300 car, you have nothing to lose so you take 0 precautions driving.

I have a garaged saab 9000 with no rust.
daily shitbox is a 01 9-3. Rusted rear wheel arches. rusted exhaust. 270,000 miles. Mild tune for a while.

Really? What engine?
