A hoodride is an old vintage car that's been lowered and has original faded or worn paint. In the best case, the car will also have rust and patina. Mismatched panels, dents and missing parts enhance the look because they add more character and originality. Driving a hoodride is about making use of a car everyone else would avoid because it's "ugly" or "beyond repair" and being able to love it for what it is. It's enjoying your car because you built it the way you want, and not how everyone else thinks it should look.
A hoodride is most often an older model air-cooled Volkswagen, but it doesn't really have to be a VW to qualify for hoodride status--It can be any rusty old car.
1. an easy and cheap method of transforming an otherwise innocent Volkswagen air-cooled vehicle into something so stupid looking, you'll need circus/clown music to make the "look" complete.
2. a one way ticket to driving an unsafe car in addition to wearing out wheel bearings and rear tires due to feckless negative decamber.
3. all hoodrides must feature a super narrowed front beam for extra cool points among their peers. extra credit bro-brah kudos if spindle mount wheels (no front brakes) and roof rack are utilized.
4. a "look" that will, no doubt, be regretted very much like emo as the owner/driver ages.
"Hey, look... there goes another one of those gay-assed hoodride piles. Obviously, the driver doesn't care about or love his car. What a waste of a perfectly usable VW. Sad."
A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.
