A type of car that Puerto Ricans drive. It comes in two varieties.
1. A supped up Mitsubishi that is driven for the sole purpose to steal money from stupid white boys.
2. A car with a blue Hundai body, a black Mazda left door, and a white Honda right door and hood. The white is usually primar, but it can be the actual color of the door/hood that was scrapped from the Puetro Rican's brother's junkyard. Under normal circumstances, this car seats 4-5 people, but in the case of the Rican-Mobile, it seats 12-15 grown Ricans in wife beaters with their nieces and nephews in the trunk.

Doug turned his whip into a rican ride so he'd fit in on park street but he sticks out like a sore thumb in the burbs.
