runs like a top

the claim a person makes about their vehicle after another person says how much of a pice of shit it is.

a positive attribute to a car your trying to sell that is in reality a total piece of shit. is often followed by other claims about the car that people automatically assume would be there. ( i.e. air conditioning, power windows, power steering)

john, "dude, your car is a total piece of shit."
