crankmobile

A noticeably dated or worn model or issue of any object, tool or device that is still heavily used by the owner. A nickname with either affectionate or disgusted overtones for such a device.

Originates from combining the word automobile and the idea that antique machinery often had to be hand-cranked to operate.
Someone smashed my cell phone against a wall, so now I'm back to using the ol' crankmobile.

crapmobile 

In the contrary to shit mobile, a crapmobile is an old, rusty, german automobile. Not only does the crap refer to the quality, but also to the color.
In the flick "I, robot" there is a Volkswagen Beetle that is all rusty. That would be a crapmobile.
