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 car builds [[Mechanical]] skill, though only half as quickly as studying, and also builds enthusiasm for the [[Tinkering]] hobby. Two Sims can work on the car at the same time, if one works on the body while the other works on the engine. If the car is not being worked on, a Sim can rev the engine. 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, the car will become the '''Awesome Customized Car''', and will be drivable.
If the car is sold in Buy mode, it has an initial value of §5200. If ''[[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 1970 Dodge Challenger, but with 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.
