|desc = Have you dabbled with some of the small creations available from Mechanically Minded? Are you ready for some more? Are you ready for the motherlode? 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- 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 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.
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.
