Beaters (cars)

ROFLMAO...Glen, it's supposed to make people guess what kind of car it is...lol. The only thing stock about this machine is the taillights and the hinges on the trunk...so it's truly a one-of-a-kind ride and I love it. The gas it has to use is a little expensive but it's worth it to watch people turn and watch as it thunders by. I've seen guys damn near break their necks turning around to see it cruising the main drag at night. But round lights?? Naa, it's all a part of the mystery of a custom rod.

FFF, Dude, I thought you sold that car! WoW!! I'm glad to see you stil own it

My beater as we call it in the south was a 72 pinto. I bought it from a guy down the street. I paid a huge amount for it too. $75!! I was only 14 at the time and the guy needed a "bag" so there I was with a car, no DL, no inspection or tags. I parked it around the corner so my mom didn't know I had it. Me and my buddies use to pile in it all the time and cruise around. I installed an old (even 22 yrs ago) am/fm 8 track into it with some home speakers. We used to cruise around with Cheap-Tricks 8-track blaring!

One time my best friend and I were driving this thing on the "strip" one Friday night. Drinking beer and hootin howlerin at all the pretty ladies. When some senior who had just gotten his graduation present. A brand new shiney Mazda RX7, rolled up on us and told me my mom did naughty things. Well *snicker* I flipped him off and told him to @#$(&^!(#$&^&) well being the assholes he was in his brand new car he decided he was going to chase me. I took off in my 72 pinto with the sterio blaring Cheap Trick. At the next stop light, him and his friend jump out of their brand new car and proceed to beat on mine with fists and feet. Like it bothered me. LOL I threw the car into reverse and SLAMMED my pinto into the front of his brand new RX7!! Wow was he PO'd!! Then took off again. They chased us for about 2 hours that night. I hit his car 3 more times. Then we pulled into our neighborhood police depts parking lot. Waiting there, we watched as these guys drove around for another 45mins, then they took off. Never saw them again. IT wasn't 10 mins after we left that parking lot the drive shaft fell out. Me and Geno were stuck in the middle of no where. Glad it didn't happen during our "high speed" chase and destruction derby!! I swear the look on this guys face when he saw me throw my pinto into reverse and slamm the front of his brand new car was classic, sure and utter amazment!! Wish I would have had a camera that night.

to many to list but the best beater was a 59 Morris Minor convertible. Paid 75 bucks for it in 72. Didn't matter if the top was up or down either It croaked after a long road race with an old VW Beetle, about 50 miles on I-55 in Illinois. The Beetle beat us by a nose, about 57MPH. When I took my exit and the engine slowed down, the oil pressure light came on, so what we were on our way home! Threw a rod about 3 miles later but kept running about 10 MPH in 2nd gear. I noticed the paint peeling on the hood about the same time I noticed the black smoke in the rearview! Pulled into a gas station and asked the attendant for a fire extinguisher. Put out the fire, pushed the car across the highway and into a ditch, then proceeded to break all the windows with some large rocks, poor car.
