/Sounds like "kah-ROO-chah"/
A Chicano caló word for car, ride, personal vehicle. It sounds intentionally old and worn: the carrucha isn't a new or fancy car, it's your daily driver, the one that takes you to work and the barrio. In classic Chicano culture, the carrucha is a status symbol in its own way: modified, painted, loud music, lowered suspension. Lowriders are carruchas on steroids.
"Mi carrucha está descompuesta pero todavía jala. → My ride is broken down but it still runs."
"Súbete a la carrucha. → Get in the ride."
