What is "rust pile" in the following sentense?
Does it mean a car?

"Maybe you could not tell by the rust pile idling in your driveway, but..."

Hello sara 19 -

As CP said....yes, it means a car.

Sometimes people say "rust bucket" to mean the same thing....

What impression do you get from "rust pile"?

What do you think the car is like?

Maybe you could describe it .....(if you have time??) Philo:)
