Detroit Car 

A car stripped of all parts. Usually found sitting on four cinder blocks because the wheels are gone. It can also be a car that is simply gone, nowhere to be found.

Example 1:

Person 1: Dude, DJ's car was found in a chop shop behind that Mexican restaurant.
Person 2: Let me guess... only the frame left, right?
Person 1: Yea, and he didn't have insurance either.
Person 2: Well, it's just a Detroit car now.

Example 2:

Person 1: Well, Jay's car was stolen again.
Person 2: He should know by now not to park it in the street over night.
Person 1: Yea, just a shame, another perfectly good car lost to Detroit.
Person 2: Were the other three ever found?
Person 1: Nope, They're all Detroit cars now.

Detroit Become Human 

A game that I waited 4 1/2 fucking years to come out. But it was worth it.
Friend: Hey @GothThespian on IG?

Yes?

Friend: Are you playing Detroit Become Human for the 3rd time just to get a different ending even though you watched it online?

Yes

Detroitification

n.

Detroitification refers to the destruction of a city, state or nation through draining money from hardworking individuals to pay for the cushy compensation and retirement of unproductive public "servants." When paired with corruption, Detroitification can skeletonize a city in just a few years.

The term "Detroitification" was coined by Michigan policy analyst Jack McHugh in 2007.
Gentrification is less of a problem in the U.S. than Detroitification.

After the Detroitification of my hometown, Bosnia looks appealing in comparison.
