I just go for a physically clean car with no rust. Preferably one color. Then I slap some wide wheels, suspension and a powerfull motor in it and call it the day. I drive these around whether it be school, kroger, party, out of state trip etc. I indulge my self in pleasure of driving it/them around. It's a 1000 car with 10,000 in modifications, but I cant spend the $1 for a sponge and dishwashing soap nor have the patience to was the car. I guess its an expensive beater. Doesnt make much sense but thats what it is. I dont drag,drift, touge etc. I drive it around like your mom drives her car around, but just faster.
