97 Dakota, this picture is from last winter:

Now with a completely sealed exhaust system, new tires, and a new brake line!

 

On Friday I hit the brake pedal to shift from park, and the front to rear line along the frame rail exploded and dumped all the fluid in my friend's driveway.

 

Either way, it's still running with 236,000 miles on the original engine and trans.

 

 

I want proof of that being an original trans.

I have no room for a winter driver....so I had to settle for some new rubber on some 17's.

I'll be up in northern Indiana this week catching 3-6" of lake effect. Oh joy!

It was my dad's friends truck until 70ish thousand miles, then my dad bought it, and it's been mine since about 210ish. Rearend has been rebuilt, but the transmission is most def original. Never towed with it, but have carried some pretty solid loads.

How in the HELL do you pull that off?

 

Currently my winter beater is an 88 Beretta GT. That may change soon.

 

I use a first-gen Miata too. You wouldn't believe how well they handle the white stuff with Blizzaks all around. I live in a heavy lake effect snow area for about a month during the winter and to this day I've never gotten it stuck. Just have to remember: momentum, momentum, and more momentum ;) .
