InformalWhat is a "jalopy"?
A jalopy is an old, run-down car that is often in poor working condition. These cars are typically characterized by their worn-out appearance, mechanical problems, and lack of modern features. Despite their condition, jalopies are sometimes still driven, usually by people who cannot afford a newer or better vehicle. The term is often used with a sense of humor or affection, highlighting the car's age and imperfections while acknowledging its ability to still get from one place to another.
