Re: Winter beater
Watch for rust on that thing. I've had beater cars too, and they all get parked because of being rusted out. If AB is like MB, you need to have a safety inspection before you can get it on the road, if it's rusted out, no go. Make sure to jack it up and crawl around underneath to get a good look see. Poke at stuff with a screwdriver, it shouldn't go through the floor or frame anywhere!
Another suggestion is a good set of snow tires, preferably studded. I run Cooper Weathermaster ST/2's and they are great! My old Dynasty with those tires on would plow through 3 foot high snow drifts and be able to do 120km/h down glare ice with high winds!
