Back in the day when I was buying winter beaters, my first beater was a 65 Corvair Monza 4spd. Drove it all winter, restored it in the spring and sold it for a profit.  Not a bad winter car except for the heater!   Next came old beat up Camaro's.  They were not the greatest cars in the snow but 200 pounds of salt in the trunk took care of that (most of the time).  In those days, old Camaro's were popular stock cars so I always got my money back in the spring.    Then came front drive Chevy Citation's, Cutlass Ciera's, and Pontiac 6000's, all having bad rack-and-pinion steering issues.  Owners didn't want to pay to get them fixed so I bought them cheap, spent an evening on the garage floor installing a rebuilt rack, drove the cars all winter and sold them in the spring for a nice profit.  They were probably the best because of front drive.    I still have the 77 Camaro Type LT (purchased new) that started the whole winter beater thing for me.  Currently it has 56,000 miles and has never seen winter.  Still all original (including exhaust system) except for tires and battery.  Did the same with a 1984 Olds Custom Cruiser Wagon.  Kept it for 27 years, it never saw winter and sold it for 75% of what I paid for it new with 117,000 miles on it.    I still have 3 vehicles stored every winter (including the Camaro) but no longer drive beaters (retired & too old) and still live in Michigan!  ...

Recently drove Michigan M66 from US10 north to Charlevoix (where M66 ends) in my 2015 Stingray.  A nice, relaxing drive with some nice scenery, nice drive through Lake City and part of Missaukee Lake.  Very little traffic on a Saturday Morning.  ... View more

Our Route 66 road trip began at the start of RT66, 77 Adams St., Chicago, IL.  We drove 2700 miles over 15 days always on the Mother Road (where possible) as far as Needles, CA.  Total trip was 5303 miles over 21 days and took over 1200 photographs.  Average fuel economy for the entire trip was 27.1 mpg.  I am ready to go again but this time, all the way to Santa Monica, CA.    The car is a 2015 Stingray 3LT coupe, which I purchased new in June of 2015 and took delivery at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY.  This is my second new Corvette.  I love to drive and except for the winter months in Michigan, the car is my daily driver.  Currently, the car has 60,000 plus miles on the clock.  We belong to the Northwest Michigan Corvette Club based in Traverse City, MI.  I have been a  car guy all my life and especially favor any GM brand.   Start of RT66 Road Trip Day one of RT66 Road trip End of Day one in Pontiac, IL ...
