One Man's Junk Car is Mechanically Minded's biggest do-it-yourself "kit" - a run down car, in need of a new engine and body work. All it needs is a little affection and elbow grease. Must place on driveway.

The '''One Man's Junk Car by Mechanically Minded''' is a hobby object featured in ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]''. It is found in the Hobbies/Miscellaneous section of [[Buy mode]], and costs §800- making800—making it the cheapest vehicle in the game. Like other [[car]]s, it must be placed on a [[driveway]]. While an unfinished car can be placed in a Sim's [[inventory]], it remains linked to the driveway section it was on, and that driveway section is still considered to be "in use" by the car. The unfinished car can be placed back where it was, and Sims can continue working on it, but no other car can use that spot.
 
Working on the car builds [[Mechanical]] skill, though only half as quickly as studying, and also builds enthusiasm for the [[Tinkering]] hobby. A Sim can work on the body or on the engine, and one Sim can work on the body while another works on the engine. If the car is not being worked on, a Sim can rev the engine. This does not appear to be required, but adds a touch of realism. Fully restoring either the body or engine takes about six game hours of labor, but Sims will probably need to take breaks, as working on the car is hard on the [[comfort]], [[energy]], and [[hygiene]] motives. While a Sim is working on the engine, the engine may backfire and belch black smoke, which will cause the Sim to stop working on it. This will give the Sim a boost of Energy.
Working on the vehicle raises the Mechanical skill, albeit slowly- half the gain rate of Studying- and requires about six hours of continuous labor. After completion, it can be sold for §5,200 in Buy Mode, or more in a business if [[Open For Business]] is installed, making it very feasible for sale. Also, the first time a Sim finishes restoring the car, he or she will get a special [[Memories|memory]]. The finished Awesomely Customized Car resembles a '70s Dodge Challenger, with an older Nissan Skyline's rear lights.
 
When the car is fully restored, the player can click on it and select a paint option. After the Sim has finished painting the car, it will become the '''Awesome Customized Car''', and will be drivable. If the Sim had not previously finished restoring a car, he or she will also get a special [[Memories|memory]].
 
If the car is sold in Buy mode, it has an initial value of §5200. If ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'' is installed, it can be sold in a [[business]].
 
After the car is finished, there may be a delay before options other than "Sit In Car" will be available when clicking on it. If this happens, have a Sim sit in the car, then click on an area outside of the car to have the Sim get out. After the Sim gets out, all options should be available when clicking on the car, and all in-the-car options will be available while the Sim is sitting in the car.
 
The Awesome Customized Car is a classic-style muscle car which generally resembles a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro, but with an older Nissan Skyline's rear lights. It has the same [[comfort]], [[energy]], and [[fun]] stats as the [[List of vehicles#Ownable vehicles in The Sims 2|Yomoshoto Evasion]]. It cannot be recolored with the [[Buy mode#Buy mode tools in The Sims 2|Design Tool]], but can be repainted.

Working on the car builds a Sim's [[Handiness]] skill. One or two Sims can work on the car; one Sim can work on the body, while the other workworks on the engine. If the car is not being worked on, a Sim can rev the engine. After the car is fixed-up, it will be drivable and can be sold for §39,000. Even after the car is fully restored, a Sim can work on the engine to improve Handiness. Sims can also wax the car once it is fully restored. The car can be recolored via [[Create Aa Style]].
 
Unlike other cars in ''[[The Sims 3]]'', this car has a [[Stereo|radio]], and is a place where Sims can [[WooHoo]]. While in the car, Sims can also hang out, look at the stars, and make out.
