That's my idea of a "winter beater".

1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Bought it brand new, just turned 102k miles, and it still looks and runs great inside and out. I have replaced very few parts on it. The build quality of this 12 year old vehicle is better than my Z06.

Makes for lots of fun love the whine when you are hard on the turbo. I'm waiting for the tranny to burn up then I can get after the power!
