Primary reason for good used honda civics being priced astronomically high, tuner cars have become an icon for the continued irresponsibility, entitlement, and egomaniacal behavior on the public road system of the US today. They have replaced muscle cars as a locus of blame in the grand scheme of percieved danger on the highway. While tuner cars, as inanimate object are obviously not at fault, they do symbolize effectively the continuation of the american inability to reconcile the conflict of ego versus landscape where the young man choses an ideal of control in response to deep seated emotional ignorance. see also motorcycle in regards to this part of def

Nice tuner car, dude. That's a real constructive use of both your time and precious metal alloys. Can't wait to see you out there on the road exceeding the social agreement of speed limitation! You will certainly beat a "stock" Honda Civic to the next red light in your tuner car. And that joker won't know what to do when he catches up and you both stare at each other, at the same red light, in the same reliable, sensible, safe, cute-as-a button compact japanese automobile.

Any type of media (especially film) which exhibits particularly excessive depictions of cars. For example, depictions of drifting, burnouts, crashes, camera angles, etc. so excessive, numerous and repeated that they highly resemble the cinematographic structure of filmed sex acts.
The films Ronin and Smokey and the Bandit are car porn. Videos that solely focus on continuous repeated car shots are also car porn.

The very best cars that have ever rolled across the Earth's paved surfaces. They're fast, powerful, tough, and can take an incredible beating, and on top of that, they're usually as reliable as any Japanese ricer. People often claim Japanese cars are better, but that's only because the only way they can reach the power of an American car is by turning them into piece of shit ricers.
Yesterday, my friend Bobby tried to overtake me on his Volkswagen Jetta twice. But he failed. His piece of shit European car was no match for my Pontiac Sunfire. My car is a true American Car.

Hot car is successfully reached when the occupant claims, "My skin is burning". Attempts by the passenger to re-calibrate heat settings to a more comfortable level is met with a sturdy slap on the hand.

Hardcore dancing adapted to the passenger seats of the car.
Since it is stationary, all that is required is timing. The rest is just flippin' out.
