I like the idea for the Hopper. Maybe the skin could be set to use paint fade to show where there once were decals or something.
An idea of mine. -Moonhawk would most likely be someone's daily driver but years and years of neglect led to mismatched fenders, duct tape repaired interior, cracked headlamp, permanently unlatched trunk, lot's of faded paint and surface rust, grimy, powerless engine and bondo everywhere.
I found 3 beater vehicle mods: Roamer: https://beamng.com/resources/beater-roamer.2158/ Miramar: https://beamng.com/resources/beater-miramar.2146/ Hopper: https://beamng.com/resources/beater-hopper.2124/
I've been thinking about this and had some ideas (some of which were inspired by/ripped off from other people's previous ideas), so mega bump time! Civetta Bolide: An early 320 that be called a functional barn find, if you were willing to assault the truth a little bit. It has more leaks than Julian Assange and averages 16 miles per gallon but only 15 miles between tow truck rides, but it can technically move under its own power. Sometimes. Bruckell LeGran: Repeatedly victimized by incompetent dealership employees, then left to rot for six years because of the mystery problems that caused, then given as a first car to a testosterone-poisoned teenager who then proceeded to drive like a mental patient while rarely bothering to maintain it and even more rarely bothering to maintain it properly. Now the repairs required to put it back in trustworthy condition would cost a multiple of its scrap value, but if it could drag itself to a repair shop without throwing a rod, that would be an impressive feat in and of itself. Gavril Roamer: Seen about 300,000 miles and would be lucky to have 3 more left in it. Current owner is a shade-tree mechanic trying to revive it on a shoestring budget after his daughter's boyfriend messed up the engine trying to use it as a mud truck. Gavril D-Series: Extended cab, 4.5L, 4x4, automatic. Redneck teenager's truck that he and his friends use for "off-roading" and antagonizing drive-through cashiers. Features include 33" tires, lots of "lifestyle" and dirt bike equipment stickers, and rattle can flat black paint with construction orange and nuclear green trim. Ibishu Miramar: Rust in its truest form. Mechanical components will somehow still be chugging along long after the body and frame have literally turned to dust. Gavril Grand Marshal: Under its first owners, this car stopped many an illicit deed. Under its second, third, and fourth owners, this car was used to commit many an illicit deed. Now, it's just a couple illicit deeds away from ceasing to function permanently. ETK K-series: Kc4t given as a sixteenth birthday present to a spoiled, air-headed girl. Now bears the scars of many a distracted-driving-fueled "minor" accident, along with truly hideous hot-pink paint. ETK I-series: 3000i automatic bought new by someone who didn't really care about cars and just wanted a flashy import to show off to his coworkers. Has had four owners since, and only the first actually had the money to take care of it.
