Question Disgusto
Tengo un disgusto.
In English?
That phrase would be used after you get bad news, after you scratch your car, after you fail an exam etc.

Interesting that Google translates it as "I am disappointed."

"I'm disappointed in myself" could be used for scratching the car or failing an exam, but not for bad news.

"I'm upset" is definitely the right choice as Perikles already pointed out.

I take that "I am annoyed" may be stronger, but in some contexts "I am annoyed with this car" may work as well. Right?

I would say that "I'm upset" is almost always stronger than "I'm annoyed".

And yes, you could use either for your car. For instance, "I'm annoyed that my car won't start"!

I see...
I guess you could also say "I am deeply disturbed by the malfunction of my automotive gadget... not willing to to start!"

Yep. That would sound like you REALLY loved the car, but it works
