The 2003 Pontiac Grand Am GT that was my choice for the $1000 beater challenge is back. Let's find out if I made it through the winter without going over my budget. I'll show you how to reprogram the door locks with no fancy tools other than your finger since I managed to lock the keys in the car.

My 82 year old father bought a new 2001 Grand Am a few months before he stopped driving. I should have tried to sell it, but I just kept it as my daily driver, because it was free. Then I gave it to my younger daughter for her first car. It's great to have a working car that you don't have to worry about.

@vehcor I'd think IL would have inspections. Most shops only get their inspection license here to try to drum up business. If there's an engine light on, it's an automatic fail. The "safety" part of it is rather subjective. My 03 Tahoe with the natural rocker delete and swiss cheese frame passed. Go figure.

My good car is a beater. Subaru Forester with 220K on it. I paid $700 for it 2 years ago. So far, 1 rear wheel bearing, rear brakes and drum replaced, and a few oil changes. Did the work myself, so parts cost only. A beater will take you anywhere a new Mercedes will, you just don't look as good getting out of it.

My wife had a Grand AM for years that was a great car. It did have the typical V6 internal coolant leak which our local dealer fixed for a very reasonable price. That thing would get around in the snow better than anything we’ve ever had. If you stood on the gas from a standstill you got a tremendous amount of torque steer, which I used to like to play with when I was driving without her.

Here in the land of sand and corruption aka Florida, my 16 yo Prius with 92,xxx miles and zero rust might just be the last car I ever own for daily use. My Vette, which is 31 years old with 21,xxx miles will outlast me, I’m sure 😂 (You and I are close in age)

As long as it isn’t driven on the beach, cars last forever down there. The paint might fade and plastic might crack but that won’t keep them from running!

.....wait, aminute, did I hear you right Vehcor, they salt the roads when it rains. I'm in the twilight zone on that. LoL
@vehcor

Yes, the idea being that if a temperature drop happens, the wet roads don’t freeze over. It never dropped below 35° on the coldest day before it started snowing but they salted almost every night.

As long as it has A/C and Heater but, of course, an Apple Carplay/Android auto head unit, it would be perfect for a beater for me.. Nice deal....

Convincing me to pick up a beater down the road, it's completely a different mindset with something that's just an A to B

Still loving the Grand Am GT! Hey Scott, did you ever use Fluid Film or Wool Wax on the underbody of any of your cars? Everyone says it's a 'vehicle saver" in the rust belt.

Scott I'm just curious about the salting up there, I'm from Massachusetts and its always been like that but the last few years they have been putting some kind of brine down before a storm and not salting the shit out of everything. It's now july and I still havent washed my cars, shame on me but my cars didn't get all white dusted with salt. Any thoughts on if change is happening?

For you to make content for your channel, you could put the rally stripes back on the hood. Couldn't really tell from the quick view under the car. but could you use a self-tapping screw. And screw that heat shield to the other heat shield. God bless
