Hands on the wood-grain wheel — slab driving posture.

Definitions

1

Driving with both hands on the custom wood-grain steering wheel — the small-diameter, deep-dish wood wheels that replace the factory unit in nearly every Houston slab. So load-bearing in the culture that UGK named a whole album 'Ridin' Dirty' around the imagery, and Z-Ro, Slim Thug and Paul Wall built bars on it. To grip grain is to be in the seat, in the lane, in the lifestyle.

“Sunday after church I'm grippin' grain, leaning on 84s, candy paint flashing.”
