| has gloss | eng: Jalopy (also clunker or hooptie) is an old, decrepit, unreliable and often nonfunctional car which has limited mechanical abilities and is often in an unmaintained and usually in a rusty or dented shape. A jalopy is not a well kept antique car, but a car which is mostly rundown or beaten up. As a slang term in American English, "Jalopy" was noted in 1924 but is now slightly passé. The term was used extensively in the book On the Road by Jack Kerouac, first published in 1957, although written from 1947. |

| has gloss | nld: Een autowrak is een overblijfsel van een gebruikte auto. Autowrakken blijven over als een auto volledig opgebruikt is en niet meer verkocht kan worden aan een liefhebber, of als een auto door een verkeersongeval total loss is gereden. Uit onderzoek rond 2003 blijkt dat autos in Nederland gemiddeld na 14,6 jaar op de schroothoop belanden. De levensduur van autos is de afgelopen jaren geleidelijk toegenomen. De verwachting is dat de gemiddelde leeftijd verder zal stijgen. |
