Scraper (car)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A scraper is an American made luxury/family car usually a General Motors model from the 1980's to current vehicles. Popular in Bay Area of Northern California, usually associated with the hyphy music and lifestyle movement. An example of hyphy is shown in the E-40 lyrics "sittin' in my scraper watching Oakland gone wild". A scraper is a general tag and can be a number of different cars, the most popular being Buick Regals, and Le Sabres, but other popular models include Pontiac Bonneville, Buick Century, Delta 88, Buick Riviera, Buick Reatta, Buick Cutlass Ciera, Cutlass Supreme, Pontiac Grand Prix, Lexus SCs, full size conversion vans, Caprice classics, and Chevrolet Impalas. Supercharged automobiles are particularly sought after due to their high performance. Similar to donks from the south, the cars are highly customized, with large custom rims, custom paint (two-tone is currently popular) and custom interior to match the paint, loud audio (called slap) and televisions. Originally made popular by African American youth, the popularity has spread and scrapers are being driven and customized by all groups and nationalities.
