Ok so a few of my family's junker clunkers. They aren't as bad as some of these but they definatlly aren't the best looking trucks
Trav
Yes those are trailer lights with a modified Chevy rear bumper along with Gmc turn light for reverse hood barely closes, fender allighened like crap because of the accident (somebody ran the only red light in town), door stays aligned for a day then falls back down so when it does you either have to climb through the window duke boy style or fix the door, bumper is bent like crazy, cheap bucket seat conversion (seats are brown interior is blue, cheap bug deflector, tires rub at full lock, every single sheet of metal has a dent in it and grille is cracked, front end is pushed to the drivers side and needs an alignment but still goes down the road straight. The good parts are she has 92K original miles, runs like a top with most original parts, does speed limit, and is dead reliable shes a 89 F250HD 351W standard XL:
lights up close and our wiring that was good enough to get by:
here is the other beater 84 Bronco 2 rust on the main body, rear hatch doesn't open, has 4 different color interior, has gone through 2 fenders on the left side, tires rub full lock, everything is rattle canned, has a thrush pack that we drilled holes through and put bolts in so it is louder then my Harley, windshield is cracked we took duct tape and went down the crack with it and looks like a split windshield, cheap radio from a travel trailer in the 70s, frame is slightly bent, whines like crazy going down the road, has about 380K on the body, drivers side door doesn't close, every part I have put on it is used, parking brake doesn't work, for the longest time had big tires in the rear and small tires up front. The good things is it runs great and drives great (when it doesn't need a clutch), it drags everything I need around the yard, it is registered, and I am not afraid to beat it up while offroading it
the 89 is on the side the headlight is fixed now

Falconry in Argentina
While on a trip to Argentina in '07 I saw dozens of Falcons each day and here is why:
The robust Ford Falcons became popular as black and yellow taxi cabs and black and blue police vehicles. They also had a less tasteful connotation, with the dark green painted Falcons used by paramilitary government forces like the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_Anticommunist_Alliance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_Anticommunist_Alliance of the 1970s and the secret police of the military junta.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Falcon_%28Argentina%29#cite_note-1http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Falcon_%28Argentina%29#cite_note-2

Been a while on this one-
I need to get some pics of the Durango my sister in law gave me. Rusted clean through under the passenger rear door, the exhaust is rotted off, the front bumper is mangled and rusted apart with a good amount of damage from hitting a bear (and her ex a few times), the lock motors are stripped and squeal every time it tries to lock the doors, and it's a Dodge to begin with.
