First off thanks for everyones input! Huge help...

I love drifting so the snow drifting is a huge pro for me and I don't think I would insure 2 cars if I were to do the beater - I would probably take it off the road as I don't really want to pay car payments AND insurance on a car that sits in the garage.
I like the idea of a decent beater that will actually last a bit instead of a POS that will last 4 months although a good point is made about always having soooomething to do (oil change, etc. etc.)

I'm thinking the only way I'll go the beater route is if I find a really good deal for one that comes with snow tires so that I can afford to either keep the FR-S through the winter for the fun days or if it's cheaper than winterizing.

Anyone who's used snow tires have a recommended brand/tire? I've heard Blizzaks are good but I'm not sure of any of the others
