What a Piece of Junk	comment	This is your car? This is a pathetic rusted-out bucket of bolts! I'm sorry, what exactly makes you think this thing will get us three blocks before collapsing in a big puff of blue smoke? I've seen cars crushed into cubes that were still more impressive-looking than yours... did we just overtake a Lamborghini? If The Alleged Car is unjustly accused of being a working vehicle, What A Piece of Junk is unjustly accused of being The Alleged Car. It looks like a clunker, but performs like a Cool Car, likely through much work turning into an Ace Custom. This is a vehicle that looks like it will fall apart if you go faster than twenty miles an hour. Your friends won't ride in it for fear of it spontaneously combusting. Well, your eyes are deceiving you: get into it and watch it blast past the competition. It is much, much better than it looks. It is not limited to cars or even vehicles — sometimes what looks like The Alleged Steed, if Took a Level in Badass, may actually be a Cool Horse in disguise. Of course, as many of the examples will demonstrate, the vehicle will probably still be prone to breakdowns at inopportune moments. It can also be a result of Technology Marches On. This Trope, like The Alleged Car, seriously depends on how benevolent traffic laws are in the show's universe (to say nothing about Real Life): if the car looks too battered to be street-legal, then chances are you may get pulled over and have the car impounded or even ordered to be destroyed — to not mention that some modifications may give you legal trouble, from being fined up to an automatic prison sentence (if it's something like concealed weapons or classified tech). To get around this, some more realistic examples may look perfectly functional but just as ordinary until their hidden high-performance capabilities or other abilities are revealed. As for trying to make the car look worthless for car thieves, never underestimate their desperation (or idiocy). If The Hero has a vehicle that stands out for its dated design (and possibly for its performance) it is the Hero's Classic Car. Polar opposite of this trope is the Rice Burner. Compare Lethal Joke Character, Excalibur in the Rust, Older Is Better, and Sentimental Shabbiness. Not related to It's All Junk. An example of Artistic License â€“ Cars.

What a Piece of Junk / int_164eec8f	comment	In The Oregon Files of the Dirk Pitt Adventures the titular freighter looks like a giant piece of junk. However, it is outfitted with some of the best boating equipment you can imagine. For example, that rust you see is really a special paint that keeps the ship off of radar. It has enough firepower to go toe to toe with a Libyan warship. The only thing that stopped the Oregon from sinking said warship was because it would have caused an international incident.

What a Piece of Junk / int_2126592a	comment	Multiple examples in Girls und Panzer: The class's collection of tanks â€” the Panzer IV, a Panzer 38(t) a StuG III, a M3 Lee, and a Type 89 â€” are recovered in less-than-operational condition. Every vehicle they've found up to that point were literally "leftovers". All the good tanks were sold after the Sensha-do club was disbanded. The students' reactions when they open up the school old garage and find a rusty old Panzer IV. Miho, however, sees that the armor and moving parts are still intact, so it has a good chance of being restored. This was why the Chi-Nu wasn't discovered until episode 10, despite the fact it was left in the middle of the school parking lot. The girls of Team Rabbit explain that since they saw the tank sitting out in the open like that, they thought it must have been really worthless. In the Maginot spinoff, Eclair has a poor opinion of several of her teams' units. Given that they are Renault FT-17 and R-35 light tanks, whose speed, armor and weaponry are comparable (and not favourably) with the Type 89's, it's justified. The BT-42 Finnish Assault Gun used by Continuation High School in Girls und Panzer der Film. Historically one of the most underwhelming tanks ever fielded in the second World War, it ran circles around the University Team's three M26 Pershings and took them all out with little effort.

What a Piece of Junk / int_247422c7	comment	Pops up in the Honor Harrington books from time to time, in the form of "Q-ships" — slow, unarmored cargo-ships modified into stealth warships, designed either to surprise enemy commerce-raiders, or to trick pirates. They'll still LOOK big, heavy, clumsy and harmless — but their abundant cargo-space means that they can carry enough missiles and heavy energy-weapons to match a Heavy Cruiser, not to mention fitting them with military-grade engines and shielding. (They still, however, tend to be MUCH more delicate than a dedicated warship of their size, and thus have to rely on deception to get in a jaw-shattering sucker-punch.) The finest example, however, show up in War of Honor — a pair of smallish merchantmen named 'Pirate's Bane' and 'Ambushcade', often mocked for how little they resemble their names due to being old and beat-up, covered in flaky paint, and just generally sad-looking even compared to ORDINARY cargo-ships. But in truth, they more than live up to their names — seeing as they are the only two privately-owned Q-ships in the lawless reaches of Silesia, commanded by a Manticoran admiral-in-exile, and crewed by a dangerously disciplined Ragtag Band of Misfits who consider the money they make on high-priority shipping secondary to the opportunity to blast a few overconfident pirates out of the sky. Even their flaky paint is part of a deliberate deception — it's actually military-grade nanite paint, enabling them to change the appearance of their ship regularly in order to keep the pirates from getting wise. In an Offscreen Moment of Awesome, Pirate's Bane manages to destroy a Havenite Destroyer — FAR above the weight-class of the undisciplined, lightly-armed pirates they usually tangle with — though not without serious damage and loss of life.

What a Piece of Junk / int_24c4c4ad	comment	The Millennium Falcon's status as a POJ has been lampshaded a number of times within the old Star Wars EU. In The Corellian Trilogy, Lando points out that the Falcon is actually 110% safe because Han isn't going to let his wife and children travel in anything less than that, and that some of the apparent damage is faked like painted-on rust. The real reason Han has been dodging the ship's yearly inspections is that he doesn't want the authorities to find out that he never removed the ship's illegal weaponry and various other illegal smuggling gear, like fake ID transponders.

The Gundam's themselves are initially seen as this. Of course they're anything but since they're actually incredibly powerful and possess technology that has mostly been lost making them far more powerful than the mass produced mobile suits of modern times, but the initial Gjallarhorn reaction to them was scoffing at what appeared to be poorly maintained 200 year old relics being fielded against their cutting edge Grazes.

However, it's pretty speedy for its size, accelerates to maximum velocity very quickly, can take a lot of punishment, and breaks through police barriers with the best of them. Furthermore, it can be tuned up at the chop shops for even better performance, and it'll always respawn with every change made to it intact. Justified by the fact that it's largely based on the real-life Kaiser Jeep M715, meaning Trevor's riding around in a decommissioned military vehicle.

What a Piece of Junk / int_3271b543	comment	Burnout Paradise gives us the Hunter Reliable, Carson Fastback, and Carson Grand Sicilian. The Reliable has a busted headlight cover (the light beneath works just fine), and paint that consists mostly of rust and scratches, but will serve you well in the early-mid game as a brawler. The Fastback is in even worse shape; its headlight is actually busted. The headlight, and one taillight, don't work even after getting the thing repaired, and there are pieces of rusty sheet metal visibly bolted to the hood, trunk lid and doors to finish the body. It also has a Speed-type boost system, and is reasonably heavy, making it a sleeper of a Lightning Bruiser. The Grand Sicilian is a slick, old-school limo resembling a 1920s Duesenberg. It's also completely riddled on all sides in bullet holes, but it's a bruiser in a fight and quick in a straight line.

What a Piece of Junk / int_33dd1d90	comment	Half-Life 2 isn't lacking in these: The airboat. Beneath the exposed frame and rusty appearance lies a monster that maneuvers in water like nobody's business (not so much on land, but that's not where it was intended to run on anyway), can bowl over anything that isn't made of metal, and is light enough to glide during leaps. It also supports the eventual installation of a devastatingly powerful helicopter-based machinegun. Unfortunately, the only option is to ditch it in the following chapter. And then you have to use the scout car, another rust-painted diamond. It's just as barebones and shabby-looking as the airboat, but it's a reliable and fast little vehicle that is more than enough to get past the coastal highways. It can make roadkill out of any enemy you find while you have it and has a crazy turbo function, and if you somehow knock it off its wheels, it's light enough to be turned back upright by the gravity gun. It also has a Tau cannon that doesn't overheat or require ammo mounted in the front, and a bottomless ammo crate allowing you to be very liberal with the SMG when you have to make an on-foot excursion. The downside is that it takes a bit of self-control on the driver's part because if you're too liberal with the accelerator and the turbo, the already fast scout car can indeed be Too Fast to Stop. And just like the airboat, you don't spend too much time with it before you have to leave it behind. The speedster you use in Episode 2, known affectionately as "The Muscle Car". Alyx is impressed with it from the start, presumably because pre-apocalypse cars that work at all are rare and this one does sort of look like it was a classic car once. It's fast without being too fast, very stable and easy to control even when the turbo boost is activated, and unlike the base game's two vehicles, you keep it for practically the whole game. Its only problem is that unlike the airboat and the scout car, it doesn't have any weapons outside of its ramming potential.

Looks like a stock Honda Today with a police paint job but under the hood, it's got the larger 657cc engine (that was further re-bored to 700cc) from the 1990-on iterations of its generationnote The first-gen Today was originally powered by a 547cc engine, with kei car regulations at its time mandating a maximum capacity of 550cc. The larger engine was introduced after regulations were changed in March 1990, which increased the max allowed capacity to 660cc, turbocharger system, nitrous oxide boost system, race brakes, and four-point restraints. This leads to lots of very nasty surprises for would-be traffic violators.

Swann thinks the model is a deathtrap. Raynor, having iconically owned one himself, is not amused. Their battlecruiser flagship, the Hyperion, has been in service since the first game and it shows. Some of the Raiders make jabs at the Hyperion's shabby appearance occasionally. Nonetheless, the Hyperion performs even better than the latest fancy Battlecruisers because the Protoss Crystal growing in the ship's lab is borderline sentient and helps the ship by providing it with extra power. It was also an Ace Custom to begin with back in the original game.

After Tessaiga transforms for the first time, Inuyasha is glad considering the battle that's taking place. Later... Eventually though it turns out that even in its inactive form, Tessaiga is not useless: it might not be able to cut anything, but that dull, beat-up looking blade is nearly indestructible and works fine as a club. Hence, if attacked while in human form, Inuyasha can use it to hold out until sunrise and the return of his half-demon powers (which are required for the sword to turn into a much-more-useful BFS).

It's an old Daedalus-class starship that had been decommissioned for a half-century or so before the S.C.E. claimed it for their own. It has mismatched hull plates, welds, and patches all over, and rattles like it's about to explode when it first accelerates to warp speed. But because it's a ship full of engineers who have nothing better to do than tinker, repair, or rebuild things it can keep up with (or outrun) any ship in the fleet.

What a Piece of Junk / int_72a1ac51	comment	Sweet's Greenwood in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (based on the M-body Chrysler Fifth Avenue). At first glance, it appears to be an unremarkable, boxy, and dated sedan (even by 1992 standards), but turns out to be dependable enough that it's the definitive car driven during specific drive-by shootings and car chases in missions. Even after the car survives a Helicopter Blender, ends up in a spectacular crash with a tanker trailer, and Sweet's stint in prison, Sweet remained insistent reacquiring the same car, having the player driving it in late in the storyline and the final mission. A better in-game example (as the Greenwood is average at best in all areas) is the Clover (based on late '60s Buick muscle cars). It looks like your typical redneck ride, corroded paint and parts of different colors included. However, it has a very nice acceleration rate, brakes nicely and turns like a dream. It's not on par with the sportscars you can find in richer areas, but it's a dependable ride that's very common everywhere.

What a Piece of Junk / int_73d7930f	comment	Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: To thwart a coup d'Ã©tat against her government, Kira has to rely on a decade-old raider in "The Siege". Navigation is out, the targeting system doesn't work, the plasma conduit is held together with duct tape and prayer, and when a fire breaks out in the cabin, Dax grabs a nearby extinguisher... which fizzles out after a few squirts. Sisko's own starship is the USS Defiant, an experimental prototype warship. It never went into full production because its designers overloaded its small, maneuverable hullnote the SFX team were really bad at keeping her on-screen size consistent, but canonically she's only about as long as one of the Enterprise-D's warp nacelles with too much weaponry and overpowered engines, meaning the ship would lose integrity at full throttle; the Borg threat it was designed to combat dissipated before its design flaws could be fixed, so the project was abandoned. The DS9 crew is skeptical about flying a defective model, but its firepower is what they need at this point in the war. (It helps that Sisko and Chief O'Brien manage to fix most of its egregious defects, resulting in Starfleet putting the Defiant class back into production for use in the Dominion War.) The titular station itself becomes this after a major overhaul of defenses was conducted at the beginning of Season 4.

In Wraith Squadron, two Wraiths and a pair of A-Wings flying close together (and performing some amateur radio theater) are able to lure an Imperial attack force away from a Rebel base - since the Imperials have three distinct sensor profiles of the Falcon recorded over a four-year period, they can't be certain an anomalous reading isn't the most famous freighter in the galaxy. Then in Solo Command, Wedge Antilles and Han Solo himself run with the idea and get their hands on another YT-1300 light freighter, and use this Millennium Falsehood as bait to attract Warlord Zsing's attention. (Han took one look at the ship and dismissed it as a piece of junk that looked nothing like the Falcon; Wedge, who can barely tell the difference, is bemused).

What a Piece of Junk / int_76686539	comment	In Mass Effect, Shepard has to defend the Normandy from an inspecting Alliance Admiral who believes it to be an overdesigned, overfunded, waste of Alliance resources that could have been used to build a proper ship. Shepard has to point out that the Normandy's stealth-drive allows them to drop infiltration teams, perform reconnaissance and it can run faster than any other ship in the fleet. Basically... every reason why it's a Cool Starship! This is actually justified in the conversation; the Admiral is thinking in terms of a stand-up fight, and the Normandy cost as much as a Heavy Cruiser (complete with fighter escort) while having only a tiny fraction of the firepower and survivability. The Admiral is proven tragically right in the Downer Beginning of Mass Effect 2â€¦but the Normandy's Cerberus-built successor, despite being only 50% larger than the original, eats cruisers for breakfast (especially if she's given all the required modifications to survive the assault on the Collector base). It should also be noted that the Normandy's destruction was not exactly something that could have been prevented in the first place; the enemy that had destroyed it was a Collector Cruiser that no one, not even Commander Shepard, had ever even heard about. It also got the drop on them, had super-advanced sensors that rendered the stealth drive useless, and it outclassed practically every modern ship in the Alliance Navy at the time. For all it mattered, Shepard could have been at the helm of a dreadnought and the outcome would likely have been the same.

She's actually a reactivated derelict that the UNSC tricked out, with concealed weapons, reinforced armor, a prototype heavy magnetic cannon, quarters for all active SPARTANS, experimental reactors, and multiple combat AI. The Autumn, like all Halcyon-class cruisers, was retired before the Human-Covenant war because they were too over-engineered to be worth their operating costs. If this was the premise of a science fiction show prop, it would have been almost too formulaic to run, but because the Autumn is Doomed by Canon, it's more a case of What Could Have Been.

What a Piece of Junk / int_8f4ee60f	comment	Back to the Future's DeLorean Time Machine, while iconic and cool-looking to modern audiences, was based on a vehicle which was The Alleged Car when the film was made. To put it in context, it was so poorly built, so lacking in performance (88 miles per hour would have been a real accomplishment), and so poorly sold, that the company had gone bankrupt three years before the film's release. This is why Marty asks Doc, "Are you telling me you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?" Doc admits that (a) the DeLorean's unique steel bodywork makes the time travel work better and (b) he wanted to build a time machine with style. The whole thing is seen as proof that Doc is a Mad Scientist in every sense of the term. And indeed, the DeLorean really does behave occasionally like a piece of junk; in the first film alone, it breaks down on three separate occasions, and in the second film, Doc dismisses Marty's suggestion to land on top of Biff's car because Biff's driving a 1940s Ford which would rip through the DeLorean like it were tinfoil.

It is a California-class starship, which is used for utility work and less-than-prodigious work like "second contact" (making sure the planets that Starfleet initiates first contact with are all set up). Its identification number suggests that it has been active as long as the U.S.S. Voyager. The ship has fallen apart, ignited plasma fires, the works. Despite all of this, the Cerritos is very resilient, surviving various attacks that have destroyed others in their class.

It is explicitly stated to be able to look like almost any other 'Mech, from a light 'Mech all the way up to an assault model, and its weapons are of the kind that is quite common on lighter 'Mechs. Cue pilots (in the canon) making their 50-ton Chameleons look like dinky and often heavily weathered 20-ton Wasps, rudely surprising their enemies with far more firepower than should be available to lightweight 'Mechs.

Since the world runs on fairy tales, there are a number of savvy characters who can get items that look useless but are actually quite functional. For example, in One Good Knight, a troupe of kidnapped women get dwarf-forged armor that looks like rusty junk so they can stage a scenario where a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits return the stolen princess to the throne.

What a Piece of Junk / int_989298d3	comment	Just about everything sporting the Olive Green drab of the Soviet Army in World of Tanks is this, with fully visible rivets, welding seams and paint chipping on most vehicles. It makes sense with some vehicles, particularly ones that made it into production (in particular, the T-34 and its kin, as well as the KV-1 and IS-2), but with the ones that never left the drawing board, not so much. It belies the fact that the Soviet tanks are generally excellent brawlers, compared to the clean German, almost fashionable French, and freakishly huge American tanks. German Grey doesn't fare any better. Taking more than a casual look at a number of the Wehrmacht's armor reveals an amount of rust that makes you question the judgement of the Commander in Question. It doesn't help that the lack of paint makes grime and decay all the more obvious.

Toretto and crew scoff, but underneath its damaged exterior turns out to be one amazing interior. Tokyo Drift has Sean Boswell putting his primer-only, "all go and no show" Monte Carlo against a flashy, spankin' new Viper. The Monte Carlo wins so hard, losing only because his opponent unfairly had a friend help him block. And then the police have the car crushed after arresting Sean for the destruction caused during the race.

This also works because they project a psychic field around them that improves the efficiency far beyond what should reasonably be expected of it. A lot of Imperial stuff behaves like this as well. The workhorse of the Imperial Guard, the boxy, primitive-looking Leman Russ, doesn't look like much, but one of them probably could take out an entire column of real-life MBTs, despite the implication that it's actually based off of an ancient agricultural tractor design. Space Marine tanks tend to be more sophisticated, as they are used in far fewer numbers by elite forces.

Ironically, it's the rust bucket's old design that ends up helping the protagonists trick the USS Orlando (a nuclear sub) into thinking that the Stingray is just a fishing boat (the crew of the Orlando weren't told that their enemy is a diesel sub, and the bad weather at night makes the Stingray's profile seem like a surface vessel). During the climax, Dodge surfaces the Stingray to allow her to move faster, while the Orlando's temporary commander stupidly does the same, even though such an action would actually slow down a modern sub.

Which makes it all the more impressive when it manages to wipe out said swarm with The Power of Rock.

Eleven's incarnation of the TARDIS is an extreme example, having apparently repaired itself from the damage of his last regeneration with bits from old alarm clocks, car parts, and a vintage Victrola. Some of the controls are actually taps from a sink! The Third Doctor's "Bessie" is an Edwardian roadster. Very nice to drive, but not exactly powerful. The Doctor has made some improvements, though: not only does Bessie have an inertialess hyperdrive, but also a remote control and anti-theft force fields.

It's an old Daedalus-class starship that had been decommissioned for a half-century or so before the S.C.E. claimed it for their own. It has mismatched hull plates, welds, and patches all over, and rattles like it's about to explode when it first accelerates to warp speed. But because it's a ship full of engineers who have nothing better to do than tinker, repair, or rebuild things it can keep up with (or outrun) any ship in the fleet. In Battlestations!, Piper is aghast when she sees Banana Republic, the ugly, misshapen tug Scanner's procured for them, but it proves its worth by pulling off a tractor beam stunt that actually cripples Enterprise at a critical moment.

What a Piece of Junk / int_d616724d	comment	In League of Legends Rumble's Mini-Mecha looks like it was made by digging through a scrapyard ( which it was), but it's the mecha that makes the anthropomorphic hamster one of the fiercest bullies in the game. The fact that it's composed of junk is actually a part of his gameplay mechanics, as using abilities generates heat and getting too much heat results in him being unable to use his abilities until the mecha cools down. In addition his idle animations and joke show the mecha seizing up in some way or another, but it's certainly up to snuff in battle.

What a Piece of Junk / int_d68df17d	comment	Every now and again on Top Gear. Two examples are the trophy Toyota Hilux pickup truck, which looks like a tragic wreck because the presenters tried to kill it and failed, and "Oliver," Richard Hammond's tiny but plucky 1963 Opel Kadett. Oliver managed to complete the African challenge without any modifications, while Clarkson and May had to strip off the doors, seats, etc. from their cars to cross the salt flats. The only problems Oliver had were when Hammond tried to ford a river and sank him, and even then Hammond was able to get him running again in one night. To expand briefly on the trophy Hilux, the presenters drove it like yobs (slamming it into random bits of Bristol), left it on a boat launch while the tide was coming in (and then having it accidentally wash out to sea when the straps broke), dropped a caravan on it, hit it with a wrecking ball, lit it on fire, and eventually dropped a building on it, via parking it on top of a condemned tower block. Even after the 23-storey drop, with a significant chunk of building landing on top of it, it still ran. And throughout the entire effort, they only replaced one part — the windshield, so that they could continue driving it into things without endangering the driver after the original one was smashed in by a wave. And if that wasn't impressive enough, it should be noted that said Hilux was an ex-farm vehicle with a half rusted-through body and enough miles on the clock to have gone to the moon before they even started trying to kill it. Top Gear also took some bloke's Lada and had it tuned by Lotus During the Ashes challenge, the Australians had a major jaw-drop moment when the Ford Transit van driven by Hammond shot past like a rocket. Turned out that they'd got hold of a prototype made by Jaguar back in the 90s that was outfitted with the twin-turbocharged engine from the XJ 220 (the fastest road car in the world at the time). It's still a van! James May's Austin Princess from the British Leyland challenge was mocked by the other two presenters claiming it was a poor choice for proving that BL actually made some good cars. The Princess excelled in most of the challenges (where the presenters won back the money they spent on their cars from the producers), while the other two cars had numerous problems; May not only got his money back, but he also made a Â£20 profit, allowing him to win the challenge.

Inside is the best restaurant in the state as well as furnishings that are hundreds of years old and worth thousands of dollars. And of course, the rooms have prices to match.

What a Piece of Junk / int_de976635	comment	The Book of Boba Fett: Din Djarin is not happy when Peli Motto sells him a secondhand Naboo N-1 Starfighter to replace his destroyed Razor Crest, given that it's still in pieces and has small alien critters nesting inside. They spend all night doing a Hard-Work Montage and roll it out for flight testing the next day. Once Din flies it however, he's very impressed: it is quite responsive on the controls even for its status as a small agile snub-fighter, and Peli had an aftermarket sublight booster engine installed on it that can accelerate so fast that it fools a rookie New Republic X-Wing patrolman into thinking Din jumped to hyperspace to escape a space traffic stop when Din lights it up. Much of it looks cobbled together or stripped down in stark contrast to the sleek organic lines of the original N1, with a greeblie on top of the front fuselage vaguely resembling a carburetor intake.

What a Piece of Junk / int_e235270c	comment	Stellaris gives us the Super Clanker destroyer class ship. Sold to you by the Racket Industrial Enterprises for the low, low price of 200 minerals (and certainly not because it is riddled with design flaws), that old beat up destroyer has a mix of Tier 2 and Tier 3 components, which include sensors. If you luck into this trade early enough, it does qualify as a legitimate Disc-One Nuke making exploration much easier.

"Serenity": "Out of Gas": Also pointed out by some pirate salvagers when the Serenity comes their way. One is disappointed because its parts are nothing special and "it's got no flash", but the boss thinks it's still a good catch because it's very easy to maintain and extremely resilient, which more than a few spacers would no doubt find attractive.

What a Piece of Junk / int_eb2e515c	comment	Forza Motorsport 4 includes many historical Joke Characters such as the Ford Pinto, VW Beetle, AMC Gremlin, all of which are slow, clumsy cars often maligned for their styling (exploding Pinto, "cutesy" Beetle, "where's the other half of your car" Gremlin). The first two are slow as molasses when stock, but the Gremlin comes with a low-revving, torquey V8 allowing it to laugh off hills and out-accelerate most other cars in its class. The game's extensive customization system can turn even the slowest, most horrible car (i.e. Toyota Prius) into a 400+ horsepower monster; in fact, a well-tuned Ford Pinto is a Leaderboard Car that dominates almost any track.

What a Piece of Junk / int_fd5d7b47	comment	In Need for Speed games where ricing up your ride doesn't confer bonuses and only serves to decrease police heat by disguising the vehicle, like in Most Wanted and Carbon, nothing stops you from driving a sleeper (and even if you do have to change the car's appearance due to the heat, a simple and boring paint job does the trick). It's even more pronounced in Most Wanted, where car tiers don't exist and you can just customize your initial Punto, Lexus or Cobalt's performance parts until it can compete with (and win against) heavily-customized sportscars like Lamborghinis, McLarens and the BMW M3 GTR Razor stole from you.
