Junkyard Cars Build Character

     They say cars speak to the owners personality. Everything from the color, type, and brand, say something about its driver. Black says high maintenance, while red means daring. A Cadillac radiates luxury and class, and Honda drivers always seem more money conscious than others. Drivers thrive off these traits, they give motorists the fuel to hop in their cars with pride, ready and eager to get from point A to B. While all drivers cycle through different cars, there is one car almost every driver has driven at one point or another. The Junkyard car.

     The Junkyard car is a species of its own, like others it comes in varieties. Usually years older than most, this car comes with special features, such as dents, scratches, and rust. They will make noises no car should make, with a millage that causes a double take to the dashboard. At stoplights this car will cause embarrassment, and the wear and tear make others wonder why its still running.  However deep under all of the negatives are some positives. While newer vehicles seem to brand the person, junkyard cars allow the driver to brand the car, giving the car a unique image, and a identity unlike any other.
     Whether drivers know it or not, these old jalopies come with an immense amount of hidden individuality. A bright red velvet interior, an old car phone holder, or a hilarious sounding horn. These features cause passengers to enter the car and burst into laughter. It is important for drivers to take hold of this comedic side, allowing them to grow prideful of their car. Many owners will even name their cars hilarious names, complimenting the look of the car, and the personality of the driver. Names like, The Wheez Mobile, Grandma Rose, Old Bugger, and Brenda, allow people to become excited about driving or riding in the car, saying "hey lets take Big Red for a whip around the block."
     Although drivers may love their current cars as one of their own kids, nothing will beat the memories made, and make a person appreciate their current car more, than a Junkyard Car...
