asshole-scouse slang

It's not a diesel, and it's barely a gaser. Basically any truck that the driver don't know what a real truck is. Some young privk usually drives it, revving the engine at every stop, and beats on it to try and replace what the space in their pants can't.

In the past, a hooptie was an old car, really raggedy or just worn, that had seen better days. A hooptie could be a car that had been in a fender bender and the owner opted to fix the damaged body panels with mis-matched colored parts from a similar car from the junk yard. In high school, if your car (no matter what it was) had four different make tires on its four corners, it was an automatic hooptie! If it had one different make tire amongst 3 of the same brand, you might still be driving a hooptie! At some point, "hooptie" began to get reserved for big ass American cars from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Lately, those few left over big cars from the 90s and 00s can qualify, but it must be American. If it was a raggedy little car or a foreign car, it was a "beater" or a "bucket." A true hooptie must be American!! There is a new additive to the term which is "Love." These days, most of us have a special affinity for big old Detroit-built land yachts, whatever the condition, that mom, dad, grandma or grandpa drove. In fact, where would the "Low-Rider" be without a cheap or abandoned hooptie like a 60s Chevy Impala or Mercury Marquis? In the future, "hooptie" will mean a well-loved vehicle. It's a car that elicits looks and conversations. How cool is that? Hooptie: not an insult at all!!
I'm rollin' in my '64!! Well, right now, it's just a hooptie, but wait 'til I trick it out!!
I just scored a bomb-ass hooptie for less than $1500!!
I'm feeling your hooptie, bro!!
Me: "That's a cool old Cadillac, young lady!!"
Elderly original owner of said Cadillac: "It's my hooptie!!"
(The preceding were real comments heard on the street!!)
