/Sounds like 'kar-KAH-chah'/
A beat-up old car that's falling apart but somehow still running — the kind of vehicle held together by duct tape and prayer. In Mexico and Guatemala, carcacha is said with a mix of affection and mild embarrassment. It gets you there, but barely.
"Me aventé dos horas en esa carcacha. → "I made it through two hours in that junker."
"Tu carcacha ya no aguanta más viajes largos. → "That old clunker of yours can't take any more long trips."
