anyone else miss an ole beater?

[kickitandholdit]

i had an old 4x4 hard body hoe and it was scratched up and had a massive brush guard and i would sling it on dirt roads throw it in mud holes and run over stuff and i didnt half to worry about someone opening a door into it or a buggy hitting it or limb scratching it and everything was worry free and just had fun in it. i totaled that ole beater and got a nice new tahoe and i dont have one dent or scratch in it and i do nothing but worry where i park it who i park it next to and dont want to take it into the woods cause its too nice. i just miss the worry free of the ole beater and feel like i dont have as much fun.
anybody else feel the same? lets hear your stories.

Just sold one! I bought a 96 Z71 for a winter beater but it was a coin machine. I've had pretty nice cars for the last 6 or so years so I had forgotten what it was like. Putting a set of Blizzaks on the wife's car instead.

Its like a women, The nicer and "better looking" she is the more worried you are about where you leave it (AKA Park it), you worry will it stolen (AKA Another man will take her) the list goes on and on.... haha Just my $0.02

i still have my beater(1994 mazda mx6) and i feel more comfortable putting around town in it than i do the tahoe. its my mon-fri or work vehicle and the tahoe is only mostly driven on the weekends, roadtrips or special occasions.

I still have my '95 Tahoe 4-door, though it has been neglected for the past 6 months or so. Shit, I haven't even started it in like a month =X.

Although, I did take it offroading back in September and it was fun as hell. Almost got stuck once, but she pulled through. I love that thing and I feel fortunate that I still own it. When the weather breaks next year and I have more money I plan to continue on my 383 project for it.

I miss my '93 Grand Cherokee Limited...bought it for a song, it was basically the car I drove when shit was gonna get rough. Had a bullet hole in the tailgate, a smashed rear bumper and the front glass was cracked from a shotgun pellet. But it started everytime, never complained, and I still think they aren't half bad looking trucks. Traded it in like a month ago when I bought my girlfriend a Mazda 3 for christmas...didn't have the garage room anyway...but part of me still misses it.
