1.SCRAPER
A Scraper is a late 80's to late 90's General Motors made (affordable) luxury car with rims so big (20-22") that the tires rub the inside of the fender and frame. The most common Scraper is made by Buick and includes Regals, Centurys, Park ave's, and Le Sabres. Oldsmobile Cutlass, Cutlass Supreme's, and 88's as well as Pontiac Bonnevilles, and the ugliest one of all, a Chevy Lumina are all considered Scrapers when ridin' on 20's.
Bass in the trunk is a must, but the tint, whistle and suction tips, dvd screens, and candy paint is all optional. The way you set your car up seperates your whip from all the other scrapers out there. That's why you will probably never see 2 identical Scrapers. The term derived from the fact that when one dips or presses the gas and steps on the brake simultaneously the front and back bumpers SCRAPE the ground.
