If I say, its mostly white guys running for President for the Republicans, is that racist?
Or If I say, I see mostly Mexican restaurants in the part of town that has a lot of Mexicans, is that racist?

Anyway, I like larger wheels, but not that large.

I'd say that most of the exterior car modifications I see look pretty bad to me, this is just much more exaggerated. But hey, it's not my money or car.

I like the big ass rims on old school cars like a Chevy Caprice, but it looks tacky on a newer car.

I laugh uncontrollably. They tend to fit a certain sterotype in my area, although usually never with a newer car.. just old Oldsmobiles, Buicks, Caddy's and the occasional old school Impala.

It's really annoying when you're behind one and they almost come to a complete stop for every little bump in the road.

That would be a problem in Michigan. Little bumps are every 6" and big bumps every 12"

As a survival mechanism, they've bought into an upside-down fantasy world (and a subculture full of 'men' like themselves), where good is bad, and bad is good, and being an F'tard is 'Cool'.

All that is fine. Not hurting anybody (OK, well, one of those things makes a neighborhood look scummy, even when it's just being driven down the street). But those cars also tend to be manifestations of the drivers' HISTRIONIC PERSONALITY DISORDER, and their NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER.

Their HPD leads them to seek attention at any price. Their NPD causes them to have no concern for the well-being of others. So, they drive around with "performance exhaust systems" waking people up, and with those boom-car Donkmobiles thumpin'... ruining other people's lives, and destroying property values.

I must confess that If I had any power, I'd be rounding people like that up, and implementing a rather Stalinistic solution to their existence.
You are an anti-American, anti-freedom sob! You go ahead and wish you can round up people and do what you wish to them because YOU dont agree. You are a disgrace to the American name!



These donk cars are not my cup of tea, but I can appreciate the hard work that goes into it. Some actually have some cool themes and are fun to look at.

Awhile back I looked into where did it come from, one thing I saw was rappers, being rich, but not like P-diddy rich with Bentleys, so to have something seen and be "above" them, they went with the donks.

Like I said, I'd never do it, but I appreciate the custome work involved in the cars, and I'd rather see it then a tan/tan Camry with hubcaps.


Eitherway this thread needs more pics/vids.
