In the past, a hooptie was an old car, really raggedy or just worn, that had seen better days. A hooptie could be a car that had been in a fender bender and the [owner] opted to fix the damaged body panels with mis-matched colored parts from a similar car from the junk yard. In high school, if your car ([no matter what] it was) had four different make tires on its [four corners], it was an automatic hooptie! If it had one different make tire amongst 3 of the same brand, you might still be driving a hooptie! At some point, "hooptie" began to get reserved for big ass [American cars] from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Lately, those few left over big cars from the 90s and 00s can qualify, but it must be American. If it was a raggedy little car or a foreign car, it was a "beater" or a "bucket." A true hooptie must be American!! There is a new additive to the term which is "Love." These days, most of us have a special affinity for big old Detroit-built [land yachts], whatever the condition, that mom, dad, grandma or grandpa drove. In fact, where would the "Low-Rider" be without a cheap or abandoned hooptie like a 60s Chevy Impala or Mercury Marquis? In the future, "hooptie" will mean a well-loved vehicle. It's a car that elicits looks and conversations. How cool is that? Hooptie: not an insult at all!!
