Just some descriptions I've picked up on here, with regards to cars: " Tokunbo" " Padded" " Babyboy". What do these mean, when used to describe a car?

Tokubo-toks- means used from abroad then imported to Nigeria.
babyboy - Honda Accord 1999
Padded - me to I'm not sure. I think it means pimped a bit.
But There are many more we can build a dictionary of all these slangs

"Padded" I think mean "DELUXE" As in with all the Accessory (A/C, Powersteering etc). In the states its called "fully -Loaded". Europe uses "Deluxe"

Padded is strictly for Mercedes benz cars. Benzes with a rubber body kit that runs around the lower end of the car. Amana Tight or Amana chilling or Orye tight; Factory fitted Air-conditioners Gbedu Blasting; Tight Sound System Yeah Babyboy means the 1999 Honda accord (a.k.a Honda bullet).

In America "Deluxe"/DX is the basic car and "LX" is a luxurious version

baby boy is not 'bullet'!
pure water - Scratch - holler - bulldog(american)/bullet(european) - baby boy - end of discussion
in that order.
oye tight/pumping - a/c gbedu blasting - sound speakers + cd awo seating - leather alloy spinning - alloy wheels (rarely spinners)
Paded - usually for v-boots
flying carpet - picanto
frog eyed peas - E-class
regular - benz 200e - baby benz - 190
bakassi - 2007 camry
accord and golf have the best 2nd hand value so if you're planning to trade your car in or resell it sometime in the future, go for either.

Most nicknames or monikers have a very specific meaning and are not just mindless slangs. Also a lot of people without a clear understanding of automobiles mix up the names/monikers. "Christino" you are right about the order of Honda monikers. "Kubiboy" you have it wrong about end of discussion and beginning of evolution.
Chassis!/Cha-cha/Tear rubber = Brand New Car Honda Halla/Skira = 1990-1993 Honda Accord Padded = this first refered to the Mercedes Benzes that had body coded plastic molds in the lower body sections, they looked padded e.g V-boot or W-124 series 1990 - 1995, W-126 series 1988-1991(also called padded Shagari) however people generally call cars with similar plastic mold body styling "padded" Bulldog = Most people have it wrong today, it originally refered to the 1994 - 1997 Honda Prelude however since most people mix cars up, they started using the moniker for the 1994 - 1997 American spec Honda Accord which became far more common. Bullet = This is the name for the 1994-1998 European spec Honda Accord Academy = This is the original moniker for the 1994 - 1997 American Spec Honda Accord Muscle/Bakassi = Current model (2007) Toyota Camry Babyboy = American Spec Honda Accord (1998-2002) Beast = This was the ultimate Mercedes Benz S-Class W-140 series; this cars were massive and impressive hence the name End of Discussion = American Spec Honda Accord (2003-2005) Beginning of Evolution = Not a very popular moniker yet however it refers to American Spec Honda Accord (2006-2007). Major difference with the "End of Discussion" is that the Rear light/bumper assembly was revamped and restyled. Front assembly remained unchanged! Pencil light = 1997-1999 Toyota Camry (refers to the back light being narrow and straight across)
