A car that you don't drive but you leave it in front of the house. This is a yard car. You leave it in front of the house to make it look like someone is home. Unlike an earlier definition, this car must be believable, that is no flats, no grass growing under it, or other indications that it might not be in use. Wash it. Move it, that is, push it at least ten feet every few days. To friends you don't entirely trust, refer to it as "Bubba's Volvo" and mention Bubba being on probation.
Neighbor: Hey, Jim. I dropped by the other day to borrow your weed eater, which I'll return with the hedge trimmer. That Volvo was here, but nobody answered the door.
Resident: Oh, yeah. That's Bubba's Volvo. He drops by once in a while, especially when he needs to avoid his probation officer.
Neighbor: Lemme get that trimmer for you. (exit neighbor).
Resident (muttering to himself):
Yard cars are a good thing.

Having an insanely high car payment that prevents you from doing anything that costs even a miniscule amount of money and prevents you from eating anything other than top ramen.
Friend: "hey man, want to go out tonight and score some ladies?"
Me: "nah, I'm car poor right now. I had to pay my $687 dollar car note." "I gotta go, I got to put some top ramen in the microwave before my power gets cut off".

Hood version of Monkey Bars. Instead of being in a playground, Monkey Cars are Ghetto Cruisers, parking in the middle of street, with the doors open. Also, can have trunk, sunroof and hood open. Sometimes 1, but most of the time, 2 or 3 in a row, effectively blocking the street. Monkey Cars are then covered in local Jamokes and Brohemians climbing over them, in and out of them, on them or over them. Usually several dozen congregate in the pile. Usually in the group are a few break dancing hoodlums whirling to the deafening boom of an 808 kick drum.
Fuck, we can't get thru this street, there 3 Monkey Cars in the middle of the road, and they're having their own block party.
