Back in the 70s and 80s, its definition was COMPLETELY different: an ugly girl. (a dog, which chases cars).
Whenever the definition changed to a car freak is beyond me. Looks like a media/cultural-generated propagation of the high maintenance gal. (better than its previous definition, then, perhaps?)

A catch all word to describe anything that is basic, uncool or untrendy. According to The New York Times, "cheugy (pronounced chew-gee) can be used, broadly, to describe someone who is out of date or trying too hard."

Things that are cheugy:

The New York Times
PT Cruisers
Goldendoodles

Australians

Addison Rae
White people
Billionaires

The person writing this definition

A girl who is really only interested in a guy because he has a nice car, and it gets him attention, so she wants in on that attention and uses her ass as a free ticket to the car.

If played right by the guy with the ride, he gets to rail a girl outside of his reach because he does have a nice car (or truck... something shiney, tasteful and/or loud)

"Use me for the ride, I'll use you for the hide"
-Sir Mix-A-Lot

A chick who goes out with a guy ONLY for the benefit of his nice vehicle; usually a nice shiny jacked-up 4X4 truck with oversized tires, or even a hot sports car. Hence the name, "tire-biter."

Conversely, it CAN refer to a guy who goes with a girl solely for HER nice wheels.

A tirebiter is a girl who hangs around car meets, car clubs, or car places in general because she likes to fuck around with boys with nice/fast/show cars. Normally they bounce from car to car, either screwing people in the same club or in the same circle of friends. We call them tire biters as opposed to Pillow Biters because they end up biting tires, not pillows.

This is the basic definition that somebody is a "dog". A person who looks for sex.
