konzerva, krntija
Explanation:
Ako se radi o nekim starim kolima onda moze i ovo...

"Ona moja konzerva me jos uvijek dobro sluzi, da kucnem u drvo.'
ili
"ona njegova krntija jos uvijek gura k'o nova - sto ti je kad' ga Svabo napravi' (obicno za Volksvagen)

Mozda ima jos, ali meni, evo, ovo pade na pamet.

Moze i olupina, ali to je obicno kada je auto losije, a ovo mi se vise cini kao \'tepanje\' nekom starom autu.
Ako je starije auto u pitanju, moze, a ako je novo onda kolica ili makina.
