... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down and that's not really the car's fault.

Hoodride = a website about 'rat look' cars (mostly VWs), sometimes also used as slang for a 'ratlook' car
Ratlook = a style of modification which involves preserving rust, original paint and general crud on the bodywork and trim (sometimes interior too) but restoring and modifying the mechanics and underbody to make it safe and drivable. thus creating the illusion that your driving a car that you just pulled out of a hedge after it had been sitting there 30years!

'in the weeds'.... lowered by a severe amount 'koop'.... coupe styled vehicle 'crusty old truck of war'.... decrepit commercial vehicle more suited to carrying east african 'freedom fighters' armed with AK47's than anything else. Slow, noisy & battered, the ideal choice for towing / carring engines, wheels or any other eBay sourced treasure....
