Short for hybrid turbocharger, a hybrid turbo functions similarly to a conventional tubrocharger, but features a small electric motor on the shaft to reduce tubro lag. While this may not work as well as systems like anti-lag or two-step, it is generally cheaper and more reliable. It's also less of a cop magnet, as a hybrid turbo doesn't produce backfire as often. The term has nothing to do with a hybrid vehicle
Unfortunately, hybrid turbos are hard to find, and generally don't come in a kit

Mechanic 1) I'm gonna turbo my car!
Mechanic 2) Nice, you thinking anti-lag or...?
Mechanic 1) Nah, I'm throwing on a hybrid turbo.
Mechanic 2), Pfft, good like finding one bud!

Get the Hybrid Turbo mug.Pop up headlights, also known as a retractable headlight or simply "pop-ups", are a mechanism pulls down the headlight assembly so it is hidden and flush with the lines of the car. This aids in aerodynamics and asethics. When the headlights are turned on, they flip up or "pop up" out the hood/bumper, allowing the bulbs to illuminate the road.
This was a common feature on many import cars such as the Miata and Mk3 Supra and even exotics like 80s Ferraris. However, they were banned from new car designs in the early 2000s for pedestrian safety issues, such as like lack of DRL and also to meet newer fuel economy standards (poor aerodynamics). These could also break, causing more safety issues.

Get the pop-up headlights mug.A modification done to a vehicle, which intentionally causes the vehicle to backfire (unburnt fuel entering the exhaust). Unlike other forms of automotive tuning, a burble tune offers no gains in horsepower or fuel efficiency, and is in fact more likely to cause catastrophic engine damage and accelerate wear and tear.
Often done by teenage poser car guys who are too broke to afford mods that would actually increase the performance of their vehicle.
While a proper, high-performance tune may cause a car to backfire more than stock due to running more fuel and boost, a burble tune is specifically done only for the bops and bangs caused by a backfiring.

Get the burble tune mug.To take a motor vehicle, usually a Japanese import such as a Honda Civic and give it the ugliest fucking body kit ever. Examples include:
A spoiler taller than a semi truck
A muffler or "fart can" with a bigger diameter than a rocket engine
Fake eBay rims
Slammed suspension
Extreme camber
An obnoxiously loud sound system
A vehicle wrap/paint job that costs more than the car did originally
If any "performance" mods are done, these are only limited to an eBay cold air intake or an eBay turbo, usually bought for under $500. The demographics of ricers are usually aged 16 - 20, the age in which many first get their license. People often rice their car to give them the impression that their car is fast, or they are just retarded and unironically think it looks good.
