: I have to say that I admire the "just a beater" Mavericks. If I had a beater right now with all this snow, I would be driving it today and loving it. As it is now, my Mavericks don't even come out when it rains. I miss actually DRIVING a Maverick...and I mean driving it as a daily driver. I had my last beater two summer's ago. I drove it more than my 1970 Grabber. Could have been because it was a V-8 and had power steering and AC. I loved just DRIVING that car. Right now I am looking for another beater...something I will have less than a grand in (including new paint job) and just drive it everywhere.
I know how you feel Craig. I miss driving my Maverick all the time too. It's not snowing here but I still don't drive my Mav more than a couple times a month. For one reason I don't want to get into an accident and I also won't park it in a parking lot. I could drive it more but with the bigger gears, shift kit, and stiff rear suspension it just isn't much fun around town, Except when I am in the front at a redlight and smoke anything next to me. I miss the good old days back in high school. When the car was all primered and I would drive it around in the desert and do anything with it because I wasn't worried about it. It is definitely time to by a beater v8 mav.
