Nova

Some of the people who wrote definitions here are wrong! A Nova is not a Vauxhall made from 1983-1993, it's a Chevy made from 1962-1979 (later from 1985-1988).

Originally called the Chevy II (the Nova name was used for the highest trim level), all trim levels were named "Nova" by 1968. There are 4 different generations of the original Nova: 1962-65, 1966-67, 1968-74, and 1975-79.

Other milestones include the addition of Chevy's famous SS package in 1963 (renamed "Nova Rally" in 1977), and a 9C1 police package in 1975.

For 1985, the Nova name was used on a rebadged Toyota Corolla & continued until 1988.

Personally, I prefer the Novas of the 70's, but whatever your preference, the Nova is an awesome car. Not only does it look cool, but it has performance to match (especially the SS models), so you can own just about any ricer out there today!
(ricer with Honda Civic): Yo yo yo, you wanna race, homeboy?

(guy with '76 Nova SS): Please, go screw yourself.

(ricer): You chicken, sucka?

(Nova guy): (sigh) OK, fine.

(the light goes green. No contest here, the Nova leaves the Civic in the dust.)

(ricer): Aw shit, my VTEC didn't kick in, yo!

NOVA

slang term for the Northern area in Virginia; the best place to grow up in the suburbs. Also a name of a Community College in the area, usually occupied of all the deadbeats who couldn't make it or are just transferring after a few years to a real life college. Most Northern Virginians are a big deal.

NoVa

Northern Virginia:
A very nice place to live and visit,
with much history and a quik trip to the Nations Capital, Baltimore, and many other great places is a very desired location for everyone who wants to "see it all".

Northern Virginian:
An over whelming idiot who thinks he/she is the greatest thing to walk the Earth and we all owe them our thanks for being such an ass.
Born with golden spoons in their mouths they seem to not see that the world does not revolve around them.
With some of the Nations worst aggresive driving and public acts of Im a rich kid so do not bother me I will try and own you.

A true Northern Virginian is not hard to spot,
jeans or slacks with a sweater vest or polo tee shirt in all the correct sizes with a very nice brand new car claiming they are a gangster and from the hoods of NoVa.
