It's slang for a vehicle, (car or truck) that runs very poorly. It's functionality is extremely questionable. It's likely to be an older dilapidated car that requires a ton of maintenance, due to age or lack of care. Performing maintenance has been procrastinated on - big time. It could be a gift horse given to you second hand. It was free or handed over as charity. The owner refuses to properly take care of it except for Fuel and topping off the oil. It's secretly adored for all it's glory. The downside: One never knows when the vehicle may break down. Basically when the Hope and Go must be driven, the owner stresses out while attempting to start the heap. Praying that the vehicle makes it to their destination. Therefore, the Driver describes their heap of a vehicle as a "Hope and Go" because they just hope it goes... originally, it's slang from New Jersey.
Vehicle owner: "Sorry I'm late ... please tell me there's some food left. My Hope and Go was bein' a Biach."
Friend #1: (Joking tone of voice) "Grab a plate - you'd be late, even if you had a race car."
Vehicle owner: (Sarcastic tone) "That hurts . At least I don't look like I was ran over and left for dead."
Friend #1: "Hey - F*#^ off. You should put that thing cout of its misery - its obviously suffering 'cuz it has to deal with you."
