/Sounds like "pee" (as in "pea") + "chee" (as in "cheek") + "REE" (as in "reed") + "loh" (as in "loan")/
An old, tiny, beat-up car that barely runs but somehow still gets you where you need to go. In Colombia, calling a car a pichirilo is either affectionate or mocking depending on the tone. The Colombian equivalent of calling a car a "beater" or "junker," the kind that rattles, smokes, and has stories.
“He showed up in that junker smoking from every corner, stinking up the whole block.”
“My beater is twenty years old but still gets me to work without fail.”
