Deuce · 10-10-2005, 12:30 AM

Will be a cruiser if I ever quit selling parts off it!!

weasel29gm · 10-10-2005, 12:34 AM

Mines gonna be a Cruiser when its done. So class yours and see whats the most popular on the board. From a beater to a queener it'll be fun to what everyone has or is buildin'!!!!!!!

68LSS1 · 10-10-2005, 12:54 AM

Uhhh, none of those. More of a Lightning/Camaro/Mustang/rice killer.

al's71gmc · 10-10-2005, 01:05 AM

I voted driver, but that doesn't mean I don't have a little duct tape in a few spots. Hmm, maybe it is a beater!

pissonNOS · 10-10-2005, 01:43 AM

i voted cruiser but its more of a cruiser driver seeing that i just bought another vehicle

724wdcopper · 10-10-2005, 01:55 AM

where's the catagory for former daily driver, now parked waiting for funds to, how shall i put it, help it along to another 300,000 miles... still runs and runs great, but the little things have added up, rust, rotting exhaust, fluid leaks, shoddy wiring....

Longhorn Man · 10-10-2005, 05:32 AM

Mine is a bit better than the descri[ption of beater...but I checked it anyways.

Tx Firefighter · 10-10-2005, 06:11 AM

My stuff is always driver quality, but I don't do duct tape or bailing wire. It's fixed right or not at all. Everything works for sure and nothing leaks anything.

weasel29gm · 10-10-2005, 06:55 AM

Andy, maybe I should add a beater+ LOL!!!!

**special-K** · 10-10-2005, 07:05 AM

I voted Driver.This covers anything I own.They`re more like a cruiser that I`ll use on a regular basis as needed{wanted}for three seasons cuzza where I live.If I lived in an area kinder to bodies I`d only drive vintage,with at least one updated to diesel/overdrive.What am I doin`here?!!My bike fits your cruiser descrption to a "T".I love show trucks,but I`ve decided I`ll leave that to others.I`ve built a few,it`s out of my system for now.

**Palf70Step** · 10-10-2005, 07:27 AM

I went with driver, when I get it back together it will get driven and used a lot.

**Stocker** · 10-10-2005, 08:53 AM

Driver for 28 years, been freshened up a bit many years ago. Gets little TLC, but like a Timex it just keeps ticking...

**tnblazerk5** · 10-10-2005, 08:55 AM

mine was a beater till the rad and wireing took a crap on me now it just sits in the driveway

and the other 2 i own are just sittin in the yard waiting there turn

so i cant vote in any of those

matthufham · 10-10-2005, 08:58 AM

daily driver, of good quality

..... coming soon

Joe67 · 10-10-2005, 09:00 AM

I voted Cruiser. When it is a complete at least

GMan69 · 10-10-2005, 09:31 AM

I voted "driver" but it is barely that. Need to finish a/c and some body work and paint to get it to "cruiser" status. One of these days....

86swb · 10-10-2005, 10:18 AM

I voted cruiser but is also a driver. (fair weather driver)

68haywagon · 10-10-2005, 10:23 AM

Beater here...plenty of duct tape to be found

But I do have new, not used, tires

Mike

ChevLoRay · 10-10-2005, 10:38 AM

More than a beater, but I don't have to drive it....even though I love to drive it. It's definitely a work in progress, but it ain't no show vehicle. I guess it's really a beater-driver, if you look at it. Still, it's waaaaay better'n a beater, but the classifications just don't cover all the possibilities.

Good post.

67ChevyRedneck · 10-10-2005, 11:04 AM

I'd have to say the body of mine is in a decent "driver/cruiser" shape in primer, but since the tranny is blown and she don't go more than 20mph.... it's less than a beater

farside847 · 10-10-2005, 11:25 AM

237,546 miles and growing... Its a driver for sure.

rauto13 · 10-10-2005, 12:23 PM

Mostly a driver, body probably would be classified as a beater, but with all mechanicals in very good condition, I drive it quite often

I quess I fall into the beater plus catagory.

edmonton72 · 10-10-2005, 12:57 PM

I voted driver. Thats what it will be when were done building it. Can't afford more then one vehicle when your 16.

MandarinSixSeven · 10-10-2005, 01:03 PM

Mine's a driver, that's for sure. But, it is definately clean and shiny and still gets more comments, thumbs-up and waves than I could have ever imagined! But, at the same time, it still needs a lot more work.

Good idea for a thread by the way. I don't think I have seen one like this in the 3 or so years I have been coming.
