Whips - atleast it is not a scraper!
 
Vehicles -- wheels, as they were once called -- are now whips. ''Have you seen Joe's new whip? It's a stretch Hummer.'' An ordinary car is called a ride, while a large passenger car out of style or otherwise low on prestige is not a whip, but a scraper.

Scraper refers to a cheaper fullsize sedan, generally 3800 powered buicks/bonnevilles/olds

I just looked it up.


http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=scraper



A Scraper is a late 80's to late 90's General Motors made (affordable) luxury car with rims so big (20-22") that the tires rub the inside of the fender and frame. The most common Scraper is made by Buick and includes Regals, Centurys, Park ave's, and Le Sabres. Oldsmobile Cutlass, Cutlass Supreme's, and 88's as well as Pontiac Bonnevilles, and the ugliest one of all, a Chevy Lumina are all considered Scrapers when ridin' on 20's. Slap in the trunk is a must, but the tint, whistle and suction tips, dvd screens, and candy paint is all optional. The way you set your shit up seperates your whip from all the other scrapers out there. That's why you will probably never see 2 identical Scrapers.

I jus' flipped some dubs for my Regal, now my shit is an official scraper.

new to me :D

But then again anyone who puts 22" rims on something that old and ugly deserves a little wheel rub. and there mom should :beating:

i still don't get the reference to Whip for a car. to me it's kind of like replacing a dog with lamp.

as in

"Did you see that guys 'lamp'? sure was a mean one"

???????

Not to get off topic, but the Bonneville wasn't exactly cheap. Mines a 93 w/almost no options and it was almost $24,000.

i always thought the term whip was to say that the car is the person's way of asserting themselves, probly started because of people who invest more money into their car than theirhomes or anything else
