If the Z is your only vehicle, I don't think that qualifies as a beater.

Well, I'd take my Z camping or fishing over my wife's 335, so I guess it's a bit of a beater in that way, but definitely not in the "traditional" sense.

To me a beater would be something that I take off road into fields around here and run through bushes. If I run into a tree, or put a huge dent in it it shouldn't matter. IMO a beater is normally a car that if insurance saw it would be totalled.

I have a scratches on mine, probably from shopping carts, that I don't care about.

But yeah if I ran it into a tree I might be a little miffed.
