A cracka wacka is a weed whacker that is missing a crucial component such as the carburetor but will supposedly work if the missing part is installed. Usually it's sale price is $11 but can be negotiated with scrap copper and other recyclables.
Johnny: Dude, where the hell did you get that piece of shit? It's missing the rip cord. Does it even run?
Dave: Don't be talking shit about my cracka wacka. I negotiated this fine piece of machinery at Sunnvale Trailer Park for a bent up shopping cart and some scrap romex. It will run once I install the rip cord.
