It's so weird hearing new american-made words, they always sound strangely adorable.

I'd just call it a shitbox, but hoopty sounds so wholesome in comparison.

I'm American and honestly this is the first time I've heard "hoopty". I usually go with shitbox or beater, and I also hear the older generations use "jalopy" sometimes

My buddy speaks German and calls his the (forgive my spelling) klapperkeister

Edit: klapperkiste*

You mean "Klapperkiste" = "rattle box"
