soul car

Any automobile sufficiently overloaded with accessories so as to be conspicuously gaudy. The overload factor is directly proportional to the worth of the car. For example, a 1965 Buick Electra deuce and a quarter with a cracked windshield and a busted ring, emitting clouds of smoke might merely need to have mud flaps and curb feelers to pass as a soul car. A more recent ride in good condition might require a spoiler, a hood scoop, a gaudy large antenna and an overly expensive set of chrome wheels to reach the threshold. The ubiquitous nature of over-amped sound systems excludes their consideration as a factor in determining the status.
