It's not fast or good-looking or even enjoyable to drive. They're often older cars that have not aged well. Their condition is at best considered "fair" as their interior and body is show signs of wear, the electronics may not all work, hell, it possibly may not even run or be all that reliable.

A proper shitbox must have at least one toggle switch installed in it. Whether or not it is actually wired to anything is irrelevant.
>>
>>14629090
It is. But it really shouldn't be.
>>
>>14628868
Old and dirty/beat up. An old and clean car isn't a shitbox even if it's slow.
>>
>>14628868
It's a contested concept, as we in the field would put it, which means there isn't any one definition that's going to satisfy everyone. I think saying it's a car you bought despite not finding it in the least bit desirable because you coulcn't afford (or didn't think you could afford, or didn't want to spend money on) something you actually liked.

Of course, you might well grow to love it later.

Yup
>>
>>14629217
will pay 600 each for those wheels
>>
>>14629217
Thought those were fake at first from the earlier image. Nice Volks man, did they cost a lot?
>>
>>14628884
I think being enjoyable, or at least loved, is a requirement for shitbox-hood.

Otherwise, it's just a shitpile.
>>
>>14629178

You probably won't think that when you realize that the orange of the hood is what we want to paint the truck
>>
>>14629382
I'd roll around in a BRIGHT MOTHERFUCKING ORANGE truck any day.
>>
>>14629228
Sold!!
>>14629229
>did they cost a lot
