I wouldn't call it baller, but its for sure badass. People may think your baller though, so many people don't know anything about cars and ask me if my 02 is new or they will say that's a 70 thousand dollar car.. ha they're clueless.
sorry FRC

I tend to agree. That was my criteria when shopping. I just loved the shorter compact look of the bubble roof. Makes it look smaller and looks like an arrow pointing the direction I intend to go.

Not necessarily. My first introduction to the word was from the west coast rap scene many years ago. The vehicles they held in highest regard were late 60's-early 70's cars. Falcon, Cutlass, Cougar; often with a decent dash of mods under the hood. Admittedly, there was the whole wheel thing, but the cars themselves were not the latest and greatest.
As an FYI to some of the confused folks in this thread, the term baller has been in use for decades, it's no longer relegated solely to certain groups. I'd say it's become (as all things do with time) a part of the common vernacular for the majority of <40 year olds.
