Exact- precise, verbatim: "I left my house at 7:05 in order to get here at 7:32. My BMW, which has a broken right taillight, almost ran out of gas on Sutter Street."
Figurative- serving as illustration: "Your car is like a broken wheel. It serves its purpose but doesn't quite work like a charm."
Formal-academic, conventional: "Sir, you ought to have your vehicle inspected by an expert mechanic. It is unwise to operate a faulty car."
Grotesque-hideous, deformed: "No, your decrepit car is a great wonder. I love the way the motor rattles like a thousand screeching bats."
Homespun-rustic, folksy: "I hope you get it fixed soon. It's not safe to drive a car like that."
