Chick car. Crotch rocket. Jalopy*. Hoopdy*. Hunk of junk. Gas-Guzzler.

What are some other slangy names bestowed on various types of vehicles? This does NOT include singularly-applies names that people give to their own vehicles, such as “Henry” or “Betty June”.

*Whippersnappers, just calm yourselves down.

    Crotch rocket is not a car. It is a motorcycle.

    I see what you're doing! You're trying to get Randy to lose his cool!  Very tricky!  

    He specifically said "vehicle", not car. :)
