Well you can kind of think about it as your vehicle and a tow truck your vehicle broke down or whatever you just want to have your friend or you want to be around your friend and you like what you guys do well hook up that tow truck to your car and just tow it all around until you ready to put it where it's going to be

Hanging out you just pull your cars up with each other and just sit around and talk and have fun with each other and that's about it just good friends car buddies LOL

"Hooking up" is typically a short term (or intermittent) meetup with the specific goal of casual sex, whereas "hanging out" covers a broader range that can include a tentative start to a romantic relationship or to a substantial friendship.

Simple—if you’re  hooking up , there’s a high chance your lips (and possibly other body parts) are involved. If you’re just  hanging out , your clothes stay firmly in place, and the only thing getting touched is the door handle when you leave. One ends with a “see you later,” the other might end with  round two.
