I wouldn't call a DD car a beater. One can drive their car back and forth to work and stay take care of it (such as myself).

To me, a beater is basically a car you don't care about. It's meant to serve a purpose (usually a dirty, rough kind of purpose), and you honestly don't care if it survives or not, because you can always replace it with another cheap piece of junk if it dies.

Ideally, a good beater would be something like an old corolla or civic. They're tough enough to take the beating and the neglect and still keep rolling, but if it made its last gasp, you wouldn't cry too much over it.

Chevy cavaliers make good beaters too. You just have to replace them more often...
