Correct definition in my opinion. It's been around since Stan was a kid.
That
was way before Nissans were Datsuns.  For that matter, VW's were
probabaly a
teutonic socialist democrat's dream propaganda toy Stan started driving.

OK guys I think I can figure it out now.
#1) Beater doen't to have to be a VW.
#2) Could apply to anything BenT is selling.
#3) Could apply to Mike Millers Van.
#4) A Beater was my first car $65.00, a 39 plymouth and every car I ever
bought for a few hundred bucks.
#5) Can be called a beater as long as it runs, after it quits its moves
to the beaten class.
#6) I see the term used more on vintage bus than on vanagon sites.
