Topic: Hooptie


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  Urban Dictionary: hoopty
Can be any size, make or model, but must (or should) be embarrassing to drive for some reason, such as when you bump the stereo all the plastic "effects" you have hot-glued to the exterior rattle, instantly betraying the cheapness of your bling.
A hoopty can be anything from a '78 Cadillac Brogham with the panels missing in front of the brake lights (but replaced on only one side with duct tape), to a fine purple two-year old Hyundai Elantra with three spinner hubcaps and a vanity plate that reads BBY GRL.
The term has also been used in certain circles as an insult to one's boy or girlfriend, as in scrub or hoochie mama.

 The Hooptie - Netscape Autos
The catch is that a Hooptie will not enhance your image, nor will its presence please the neighbors, who may try to have it towed as a derelict or sic the homeowners' association on you.
However, this issue is addressed by having the Hooptie as your back-up vehicle--to be used when it's nasty outside or when you need to haul something messy.
The best Hooptie is a basic economy-type car--some nondescript sedan or wagon, ideally, that was somebody's commuter car for years.
