I figure 2000$ for a beater in quebec should last me a couple winters "low ks just use it to get to work".
After watching my first new car "jeep tj 05" slowly deteriorate after 4 years I just dont know if I cant watch my baby be sacrificed to the salt gods.
Sure its a pain to have a winter car but in 8 years the Cali will still look new.
Anyone else come to this same conclusion?
Or am I the only willing to let my car sit for the winter?

I did come to that conclusion... but then I ran past it and decided to keep driving'er (I'm also on a lease... so... really, it's silly to park a leased vehicle unless you're overmileage)
I dropped just shy of $2,500 CAD for a wheel/tire combo, they work/look great, so I'm happy. I seriously think my CSRT4 is better on the snow covered highways than my TJ or Liberty ever were.
I definitly could've bought a beater jeep or car for that kinda money...
I do think parking your csrt4 in the winter will
definitly make the car last a whole longer/stay in better shape, but I'm still at the point where I'm not sure I'm gonna buy it out.
