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 im not sure. I think it means pimped a bit.

But There are many more we can build a dictionary of all these slangs

Ah, thanks.

@ Topic

"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).

"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"

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

Bush meat = Prelude 81 model
Bazooka = Prelude 88/89 model
Crystal eyes = Accord 91/92 model

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)
