Mike Germanaro looked at himself as the King of the Road! But the truth was that he was fooled into buying the old busted-ass red piece-of-shit jalopy.

Jalopy
Slang term for an obsolete, worn-down machine or hardware device. Derived from the misspelling of the word "Jalapa", which is the name of some town in Mexico that is famous for the Jalapeno pepper, and its former junk-car-scrapping industry.
That jalopy ain't worth selling because nobodyelse would be caught dead with it.

Jalopy
Slang for a car, usually old cars, somewhat of the ford model T Design. Some cars that can be seen as "classic" today can be considered a jalopy, but mostly anything before "classic" like a old old classic.
