Yeah....How to go about it?? Big Bear Lake CA. is full of beaters. Every other vehicle in this valley is a truck. Half of 'em look beat becaus of the rough mountain work (and play) environment.
....So, what's the idea?? Is it for beaterz.com, or....???
Sounds interesring to me...

Oh yeah, I checked out beaterz.com and all I saw were cars. I'm talking trucks here, but I guess an Amc Pacer on a Bronco frame would still be a truck. Maybe it's not that great of an idea but I'm sure you will all let me know if it is or isn't. Thanks. J.B.

We have an ugly truck contest up here. Only for the past couple years tho. Hopfully it will catch on. Beater trucks would be a cool entry for our Old Miner's Days Parade.
Ugly mods would be cool too, trucks converted to serve a purpose at the expense of good looks, such as drilling rigs, old airport tugs,old boom trucks, other yard equipment.
The years of wear and tear, scars dents, rust and such. It's like reading a faded book of the trucks history of service.
Anyhow.....I think it sounds like a good idea.

i know that on that site there is a chevy 1500 with like 8 exaust tips out the back, and also a navigator done lowrider style...btw, i was cruising the aisles at my local wally world, and just about fell over at the latest truely rice offering...for like $6 your honda can have simulated through-the-body exaust. they're chrome and at the end are black and i still think i must have been dreaming 'cause those things are so dumb...but then again it's nice to see the yellow honda(that has a honda sticker on every body panel) have some (simulated)performance upgrades. i hope someone else has seen these things so they can help me explain how ghastly they are. well, sorry about the rant, late

Hey, rant on I say. I did see the navigator. I must say that I didn't open all the thumbnails. I can only look at so many winged ricers. I guess its just the reality of it all, since this is what young people like.
I watched the last half hour of American Grafitta last night. I have one stepson that is 20 now and in 30 years he will see The fast and the furious and have the same nostalgic feelings about a puke green Mitsubishi with some ridiculous wing, That I have for the yellow duece 5 window. Just makes you want to cry.
I could cut them a little slack if they just had rear wheel drive. Well talk about rant, I was just getting started.

The whole movie still sucks and they destroy the only cool car and they fastest one.
By the way I happen to think Nissan has some of the best looking coupes on the market and if I were going to give a styling award for mass produced cars they would get it. But I still won't drive one.

I Am 19 years old and more interested in old cars than a rice burner. Has anyone seen 2 fast 2 furious? The part I hated the most was when they wrecked the Charger and a 68-69 camaro. I know they aren't fords but it still hurt seeing a nice old car get destroyed. Eric

I'll admit it, I drive an ugly truck, but I'm working on that. I'm upgrading from a collage of five colors down to two colors. I would definitely rather drive my beater than a ricer. I want my vehicle to rumble, not buzz.BTW I'm also 18
