'97 White Ford Ranger single cab. Manual windows, locks nothing power on this thing. It doesn't even have power steering. It was broken into about a month ago so not CD player/Radio, I have to use my Ipod with speakers. Cracked windshield all the way across, dented back bumper where I spun into a ditch coming over a bad pass during the winter(cost me $700 to have it towed back home.)

No AC it has "cool air" missing two hubcaps, the lock sometimes gets jammed when opening with the key from the outside.

To top it all off its a 4-banger and I have never been able to get the smell out of the cab...its been there for years.

But I love the thing 🙂

You rich boys and your 21st century cars!
 
89 Toyota pickup truck. The paint has faded to primer grey over 60% of the truck. No A/C (in Texas!), automatic, non-working stereo, and only one door opens from the inside.

Yeah...look at Mr. Fancy Pants and his car from this millenium.

Well you're not the boss of me!
 
I drive a 94 Dodge Dakota with 141,000 miles. It is white with a gray stripe down the sides, and the paint is peeling off. There are dents in it, scratches, and a beaten up bumper.
I just bought it last summer, because I wore out my 93 Dodge Dakota. It had 213,000 miles on it.
 
up until 1990, my beater was a 1977 Volare wagon with a slant 6 and auto. The car was rusted out everywhere except the roof. Great on gas but looked like hell. I'm surprised it took the cops as long as it did before they got after me for a safety inspection. The joke was on them when it passed. LOL.

I junked it in 1990.

damn right it did. 400,000 kms on it, a burnt exhaust valve and no lash adjustment since 1982. I ran it dry of oil twice and it still ran great. Best damn engine ever built.
 
1993 Civic Ex w/ 166K Miles - All the body parts have rust, there's a huge dent on the quarter panel, and hood is crumpled up.

I tell ya - I work at an auto insurance company, so it's sometimes embarrasing parking there soemtimes . . ..
 
I used to drive this 😉

GET OUTTA MY WAY!!11!#$%@

Chains holding the bumper on, broken gas gauge, "GENERATOR" light constantly on, leaking shocks, rusted out brake lines (the reason I got rid of it), engine had a nasty misfire, tires had massive dry rot, 8 track player...etc.

It could have been a cool car, with a lot of work, a few parts, and fresh non-yellow paint 🙁.
