My beaters where the now sold '95 Accent(some rust, former neglected smoker car) and '04 Elantra (no rust, 1 trans rebuild).
My daily driver is now my 10 years old, 64k miles, '08 Toyota Yaris sedan base: no rust, some scratches from a pair of doves who decided to make a nest, and winter shoes.
The good ride/dedicated vacationeer is the '13 Mazda5: replaced back bumper, repainted front hood, new Nokian shoes, replaced front windshield, ac now works.
Awesome ride would be ..... let's not jinx.
