All go, no show
said about a car that lacks exterior finish like a good paintjob, fresh chrome, decals, spoilers but is equipped with a powerful engine, prepped transmission, heavy duty suspension and so on, making it
fast without anyone really knowing it. a fast piece of “junk”, in other terms.
ricer: man, what a old piece of sh-t you’ve got there! my civic looks way better and has a turbo and makes a cool
“pshhh” sound when i shift gears! get a
paintjob and some 22″ rims man!
car owner: it’s called a chevy nova and it’s all go, no show. it’s got a vortech-supercharged fuel-injected 454, a five-speed and a 4-link rear suspension. wanna race?
