Retro-rides glossary??

Hardslammed = stupid lowness acheived without the ability to raise it again instantly ie. No airbags or hydraulics.

I presume the question is more along the lines of the "venacular" such as:

"hit with the stick" = lowered [although when I were a lad this meant roof chopped]
"in the weeds" = lowered
"juiced" = hydraulic suspension [or conversion of rod & cable brake car to hydraulic brakes]
"ratted" = painted matt black, covered in stickers and a roof rack
"scene tax" = a vehicle or accesory which is priced beyond its true value due to fashionable buyers with more cash than sense.
"flat paint" = matt paint [from the American]
"flattie" = Ford's side valve V8 engine, occasionally any side valve engine.
"LSR" = Land Speed Racing
"cubes" = cubic inches, displacement, engine size.
"scene" as in "all a bit scene for me" = a vehicle built more with an eye to fashion than creativity, taste or function.
"RRG" = Retro Rides Gathering
"hoops" = wheels
"rims" = wheels, rather than just the rim of the wheel.
"Stretch" = installing a tyre far narrower than the wheel to give a stretched appearance
"Poke" wheels which protrude beyond the wheel arch
"dubs" = wheel 20" diameter or greater
"donk" = American fashion for jacking cars up and installing like 30" wheel on them. Apparently comes from "donkey cart".
"lo-lo" = low rider
"kustom" = with the K it signifies a car customised in the American style of the 1950s, pretty much defined by the west coast look (IIRC East Coast cars were called "Kemps" back then)
"Lead Sled" = the curvacious bodied late 40s early 50s cars built as kustoms. From the amount of lead filler used in the mods back then.
"steelies" = steel road wheels - usually taken to mean the type which have chrome hub caps
"wires" = chrome wire wheels
"WSW" = white side wall
"RWL" = raised white letter
"povo" = base model, abrv of "poverty spec"
"grandpa fresh" = a classic vehicle, usually "povo" which is clean and unmodified and may even be from its original owner. Probably beige and ripe for modification.


I'm sure there are many others, these are ones which just struck me as in common usage.
