A big, heavy, bad-handling car made in Detroit. A road locomotive.
This expression was common in the 1960s when cars that handled well were made in Europe. American cars were oversized, wallowing pigs, and you had to make reservations to go around a corner.
That dude is driving a piece of Detroit iron. Let's moon him, and we can lose him on a winding road.
another term for a station wagon, mini-van, or any other kind of vehicle that is targeted at the "family" demographic(also M.A.V.)
"Tactical advantages aside, the M.A.V. is top of the line for the holy warrior troop transport manufactured by the Church of Latter Day Saints Military Industrial Complex. Also great for family trips...to heathen lands."
