Beaters ( Junky Cars)

[Jag67]

Please poct pics of any beat up cars you see around (just make sure the owner isn't around!!) BTW, if this is in the wrong place, I'll move it to General.

I'll start. Here's an old celebrity. GM sold millions of these from 1982 to 1990. These were actually pretty good-looking cars, but as they got older they started to decompose. I wonder why the wheel is like this..

Here's my former car, it looked beaten up but it was cleaner in the summer !!

[Jag67]

yikes. this ford contour got a nice whack.

[Jag67]

same as for this. And they were both on the same lot!!

[Jag67]

pretty rough Geo metro. This os only about 10 years old.

[Jag67]

Old crown VIc. This car has been sitting here a while.

[Jag67]

grand marquis. The front of this car has seen better days lol:roll:

[Jag67]

wow. This '93 Olds Cutlass Ciera is NEWER than me and I'm only 13!!

[Jag67]

1990 buick skylark. These things were never good..

[Jag67]

And here's the former Amesmobile after my brakes failed!

Here is my current vehicle after I was hit this winter and shoved into a guardrail.

[Jag67]

heh nice pics. Love the cop car. WoW!!!

[C. Fontaine]

Here's the Ames cart remix of the Amesmobile!  And yeah, I saw that police car at the scene of the police chase before they hauled it to that junkyard...  It's got a door from the suv that hit it lodged in it's windshield!  Later on my buddy who lives next door to the junkyard saw a cop looking at it, it was probably his!  Hehehe.

[Jag67]

What did you do with that thing? Sell it? scrap it? The older japanese cars werent that great...

[C. Fontaine]

No, I did all that in photoshop.

Hey...know what you mean. I hate when I see something from, like, 1990 and it's quoted as "Vintage" or "Antique". I don't think I'm antique or vintage!!! But I do have to admit...most of the cars I see around from 1992-prior have pretty much seen better days. However, my mom had a 1988 Corolla that finally tuckered out in 2000--it looked pretty nice even then, though:)

Well it wasn't a Japanese car in the first place;).  It was a 93 Ford Escort, and I ended up giving it to a neighbor who was going to school for auto-body.  He did a nice job fixing it up, and he's got it for his first car now.  I wish I did still have it though, I miss it.

[Jag67]

Woah!! I thought it was a toyota Camry at first!! But I do see now, It is an escort. In a way, it is still kinda japanese, because the early 90's escorts were made of mostly Mazda components and was based on one of their cars

This 1993 Dodge Spirit isn't too bad right now but it's working it's way up..literally. chrysler's cars have never been top-notch in quality anyway. I like the color of this one though.

[Jag67]

1994 Chevy Corsica. What do they paint these with? roseart??

Truvaking, I gotta disagree with you. I've seen cars from 1995 that look even worse than some of the cars on this page!!

[Jag67]

This corsica is parked right in front of my house!! (sorry about the quality)

[Jag67]

pretty rough 1984 Buick

[Jag67]

pre-89 buick century

Hope you like it!

[theoldames]

I love cars like these. I drive one. Its a 1981 Ford Country Squire. I got to take a picture of it.

This is a Ford Escort I found on Google.
