We call batata any car that lives many of its days in the repair shop, either because it's old and worn, or new and badly designed or manufactured, or second hand of any age which has been not maintained in good conditions so it's bound to break down a lot. Additionally, they can be pegged, in order, as un vejestorio, una porquería and ...
-"¡te vieron la cara, querido!"
-"Es que me lo pintaron como una oportunidad.
En teoría era una buena compra"
Porque "una cosa es la teoría y otra la práctica", another way to say one of the meanings of "de lo vivo a lo pintado".
[which takes us back to the topic of the thread]
