Yeah, just remember that if you get a cheap pickup, it's gotta be a 4x4, there's no weight in the rear end and they're useless in the snow without it.

I'd recommend a beater, for raising the car back up and then taking off the body kit seems like a hassle. Plus it will save the Honda for the inevitable rust all Honda's get after about seven years of life in the snow belt.
A beater would also be nice if your car is really "tricked out." If you go somewhere that is questionable (such as a bad part of town), bring the beater.

I think you should buy a beater and just drive that around. If you're on a family insurance plan, it can even lower the overall by putting your car under your parents name. That's why I have my beater (even though I never drive it).
