Welcome to Hotrods ‘N Hoopties! So what do you drive?  What drives YOU?  Some people have their daily ride, and some people have their RIDE.  Their pride and joy.  Their Sunday cruisin’ car.  Sometimes, a “hotrod.”  And some of us have…  our hooptie…

Now, we ALL know what a hotrod is…  Hot car.  FAST car.  Expensive rims and paint. What exactly IS a hooptie, you ask?

Well, the way wikipedia defines it is as follows: “Jalopy (also clunker or hooptie) is an old, decrepit, unreliable and often unfunctional car which has limited mechanical abilities. A jalopy is not a well kept antique car, but a car which is mostly rundown or beaten up. …”

Now, the more FUN definition is from UrbanDictionary.com, and they have 4 or 5 other alter-definitions JUST as funny, lol!: “Any car that meets the following: a) driver must enter car through passenger side b) three different brand and size tires – 3 of them missing hubcap c) exhaust is held up by half a clothes hanger – other half replaces the antenna d) backfires every three blocks – loudest backfire being when car is turned off e) must open door at drive-threws as windows don’t roll down f) you only get one AM station and the tape deck eats all tapes inserted g) can’t open the glove box as the whole thing will fall out h) if you let go of steering wheel while driving you’ll make a u-turn i) must manually move blinker lever up and down as it no longer blinks on it’s own j) must keep one foot on brake and one on accelerator when at a complete stop k) has had the same temporary registration sticker in the window for the last 18 months l) has all the above issues but still has a $200 professional tint job…”

A hooptie can also be an older car that is SO decked out that it’s a head turner…  Oversized wheels, screaming loud paint, a car that bounces on its front wheels if you please, like this:

Anyways, here you can find info on either, or both.  If you’d like us to spotlight your ride, just to show it off, let us know!  If ya got a hottie and want to sell it, you can let us know that too!  Just drop me an email at Dieseltaz1@comcast.net.
