TEXAS SLAB CAR CULTURE & MUSIC Verified

A slab is typically an older model, large-bodied, American sedan — Cadillac, Lincoln, Oldsmobile, etc. And it\'s embellished or outfitted with various types of body additions, the first and most important one being the rims called "swangas" or "elbows." Those are those cone-like rims that poke out pretty far. On the trunk, you have what\'s called a "fifth wheel," which is a rim that\'s cut in half and enclosed in a fiberglass casing. Also explosive stereo systems that rattle or shake the car and shake the surroundings when listening to rap music. And within the trunk, you often have what\'s called trunk displays, which are neon or sometimes glass signs that convey particular messages to their communities.
