lol hooptie is used a lot around here in Chicago that's for sure. I came from a G8 GT. I loved the car and miss it at times. Wish I could own both but I have wanted the Camaro since I saw the first concept.

First fill up of the G8

Isn't it rather silly to make up a slang word which has more than twice as many letters as the word it replace? Imagine trying to text message that!

G8's are really nice looking. I do miss mine. But the camaro just edged out over the G8 for me. If I could own both I would.

G8 was also the best car i have ever driven in snow. That includes 4x4's

Hmmn Hooptie must me something different from where yall are from but around here it means ur busted up ride like an old car with different fender colors or primered paint. That is a hooptie to me. But those are some nice G8s yall got I wanted a Gxp but none were near me and all were Overpriced IMO 35k was the cheapest i found.

Same here, a hooptie is a $500 car that barely runs but gets you where you wanna go sometimes. A hooptie is the before car on Pimp My Ride

That is a hooptie, but usually people in jest just call their rides a hooptie.

Has no one ever not heard the Sir Mix A Lot song "My Hooptie"? LOL

From the Urban Dictionary

Hooptie

1485 up, 151 down

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

"Hey fool...you gotta have the phattest hooptie in town!"

Googling Hooptie definitely brings up cars that fit that description.
