According to wikipedia, the current use of the word "hooptie" is as follows:
A Hooptie now refers to a beater car. It is a car that gets you to and from work. It is not your family car but just a car that you can abuse and neglect. Hoopties are usually cars that were nice when new. A hooptie can still be a nice car but it is not your prized car- it is not the car you take downtown and drag or show off. Also, a hooptie can be a barely running, 'would not be caught dead in it' car. The meaning of the word has changed from exclusively large cars; some hoopties are fuel saving cars and therefore small. This is because usually they are driven daily to work and back and rack up lots of miles.
Having said that, here is my submission:

Custom rust, custom rear window made of wood, and stickers all over reminding you Sunoco is the official fuel of Nascar. Only in Ohio.
Any others? :headbang: (God I'm bored)
