I don't own a beater car, but I own 2 Japanese cars (daily drivers for my wife and daughter). When one of those cars are home, I will always drive them over my BMW (at least in the winter). I regularly wash my car in the winter (hot water hookup FTW) and leave it in the garage as long as possible.
Sometimes I work from home just because the roads are messy and I don't feel like getting my car dirty. It also helps keep the mileage down.
