What a waste

How can they think this is great or even nice. To me, in my opinion "what a waste of time and money"

Take em' out back....line em' up and start shootin'. Just kidding, but seriously this stuff is getting way out of hand. Did you notice they are running stock brakes on this abominations, I wonder how good they stop?

I don't consider it great or nice - but - it is interesting and to some extent artistic. It is after all a free country.

It would also be hard to get run over by one of those things. Just stay in the middle of the car and duck down a bit...I still think its a crying shame....

I think they call them donk's cause the owner's are a**e's to do that to a car. Do that to the non GM cars and I am OK with it. Not really, the wheels and tires could probably pay off my house for what they cost.

I hate these things, but I guess it's better than letting them rust into the ground. To each their own I guess.

I think it's hilarious, like a clown car at the circus.

If you are confident enough of your manhood to ride around in a clown car, then these are the cars for you.

Oh, also, I flagged it: "Miscategorized."
He's in Cars for Sale, but is offering a service, and for the misleading price of $1.

Hopefully that is a fad that will pass. Fortunately most of those things can be reversed.

Won't it mess with your gear ratio, Citcapp? That would be a crime to do to that beautiful car of your's but I am sure you are kidding. You are kidding, right?

Same here.

A donk dude on CarDomain, wanted to buy(ie yank my chain) my 1985 Buick Riveria. He couldn't handle my price (under $1000) and transport (to New Jersey I think). But he has the 20+ inch wheels on this Saturn and other aftermaket junk on it. Hummmm
