- "Bro, did you see her reaction to that barista at Starbuck's?."
- "Whoa, Zero to Ghetto in .2 seconds, yo."
- "Whoa, Zero to Ghetto in .2 seconds, yo."

A delapidated vehicle presumibly uninsured, soley used to circumnavigate the hood. It is understood that if the vehicle leaves the confines of the ghetto it will instantly be pulled over and impounded.
