A busted-ass gas-guzzling automobile. A big, old, rusty motherfucker that resembles a loud rusty 4-wheeled version of the fuckin "Love Boat" coming around a corner. Usually occupied by a bunch of wannabe gangsta's.

An enormous boat of a vehicle usually sported by ghetto queens or hick adolescents. Almost always appears in lime or puke green, although bondo is my favorite look. The lack of power steering makes this dinosaur turn like a son of a gun! When seen in ghetto queen fashion, add 8-12 kids piled in every square foot of this gentle giant.

Known for incredibly loud mufflers... if any.
" Is big momma back from da' store with my hoopty?"

1. A large, broke ass, white, 86 Lincoln Town car, with dear horns on the grill and cat paw prints so dense you can't see out the rear window. Driven by a hillbilly with white hair, who worships Willy Nelson. Usually is missing one or more license plates, and hasn't been inspected in at least 3 years. Comes complete with a broken am/fm radio with superglued on knobs, a "singing" steering column that sounds like a gay tweeter bird, and an inexplicable smell iminating from the interior, like a mix between old cheese from 1991, an excess of cats and dogs, and tamales which have been carted around to pay rent. Embarrasing to drive.
2. An automobile that is so long and top heavy that it rocks when you turn too quick.
3. Something you would call a car that belongs to someone you truly dispise, but really envy.
1. Bob: "That car is almost 20 years old. It smells like tamales.
Joe: "Ya, It's a hoopty."
2. "We're gonna end hanging off the bridge if you don't fucking stop taking sharp turns."
3. Bosephus: "HAHAHHA I HAVE A NEW MUSTANG HAR HAR HAR, LOOK I'M RICH TOO HAR HAR"
Joe: "What a hoopty, fucker."
