The Alleged Car/Playing With: Difference between revisions

* '''Exaggerated''': All of the above, with the caveat that the car must be started using some non-conventional means, originally came from a country that no longer exists due to civil war, economic collapse, or a brutal invasion from a neighboring country, and has more duct tape than paint on it. It also breaks down about once a week, has been on ''60 Minutes'' more times than it's been on the road, uses ridiculous amounts of gas, has been mistaken for abandoned and/or stolen from a junkyard more times than it's been on the road, and was once disqualified from a Soapbox Derby race for lack of structural integrity.

* '''Justified''': Bob is too cheap or poor to buy a [[Cool Car]] (or even a halfway decent one).

** Bob is purchasing parts or scrap metal, not a whole car.

** Bob is homeless and needs a car (no matter how much of a clunker it is) to live in rather than to drive around in.

* '''Parodied''': The car has an [[Embarrassing Nickname]], which ''everyone'' in town knows from local newspapers, TV news, and [[YouTube]] videos.

** Not even the local junkyard will take in Bob's car for scrap.

* '''Lampshaded''': "Wow, what a hunk of junk!"

* '''Zig Zagged''': Sometimes Bob's car runs poorly, sometimes it runs well.
