An old, beat-up car that looks like it might give up at any moment in Uruguay. The 'cachila' is beloved precisely because it shouldn't still be running — it rattles, leaks, and complains, but somehow keeps going. Owning one is a badge of resilience.
"Are we going in that old junker? I hope it makes it."
"My dad's old car is thirty years old and still going."
