What category does your car fit under?

Beater: Something you would park anywhere with the doors unlocked and windows down, without fear it would ever get stolen because it appears abandoned. Typical beaters cost less than $500 in "running condition."

Cruiser: Classic American cars. Generally deemed a land yacht by traffic-owners. Can be customized severely or mostly stock.

Corner-carver: A car which the chassis has been set up for taking turns at increased speeds over stock. Something that sends your passenger flying into the doorpanel and holds them there like a magnet to a fridge.

Economy: Small-displacement vehicles that can be parked on the hood of a Cruiser. Normally used for the daily commute to and from work due to their adversion to using large quantities of fuel. (See: TRAFFIC)

Ground-Pounder: Muscle cars taken to the extreme. Will have rediculous amounts of power. May have power adders such as NOS, a Turbocharger or a Supercharger to achieve ludicrous amounts of power.

JUNK: I'm sure you'd recognize it when you see it. For example; 80's crap with blown shocks, sun damaged paint, broken taillights, it looks too unsafe to be on the road but for some reason, it still is. This term could also be used for unreliable vehicles, or stuff that you just plain hate.

Muscle: A burnout machine. Typically large-displacement American V-8 cars.

Pony Car: Could be considered low-end muscle cars, small V-8's. Usually reasonably priced when new to fill in a niche' between Muscle and Economy.

Project: A car still in the process of being repaired, restored or customized. Also a car that has sat in the yard for a number of years without being touched, with no intentions of selling it. (Fred's GTO)

Traffic: anything you see more than two of on your daily commute. Most modern imports are traffic.

Workhorse: Trucks, wagons, vans, etc. Whatever moves your longblocks around and hauls your junk from place to place. This category is sometimes coupled with Beater.
