My $500 Winter Beater -- The 1991 Honda CRX

if your battery dies that quick its probably a bad alternator

winter beaters are the most fun toys on the planet. Chevettes are the best winter beaters.... All winter beaters have such character & personality. Disappointed you didn't mention her name....you MUST ALWAYS name your winter beater, & she'll drive forever. My beater's name is EILEEN...as in "Com-on Eileen".....

My first car is waiting in the garage, a 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse (my fav car), but I don't want to crash it. So I might buy a beater car like this to practice in.

That "transmission grind" you heard happened because reverse doesn't have a synchro. It's the same on all CRX's. Do one of two things: 1. Hold the clutch for at least 5 seconds before throwing it into reverse, or do what everyone else does which is 2: hit the clutch, bump it into a forward gear (I usually use 3rd) to stop shit from moving, and then put it into reverse. You'll never hear that grind again.
