Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth! 

A saying when someone gives you something useful but you don't like it at all and you would like to have something better for you .

In the past, when buying a horse, people looked to see if it had healthy teeth.
Dad: „I will give you my little car for your birthday.“
Daughter: „But I don’t like it! I’d rather like a big car!“
Dad: „OH, c’mon! Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth!“

dont look a gift horse in the mouth

meaning if something is free dont find the flaws in it.

one way to tell a horses age is by looking at the wear on his teeth , if someone gives you a horse theres a good chance it is old and you wont get much use out of it.
sam got a bike for christmas , but it wasnt the one he asked for .... "dont look a gift horse in the mouth"

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
