The question:


The answer: Steve Rackman - alias "donk" in Crocodile Dundee. He must be just excited to see an 83 442 named after him

Problem is the suspension had to be modified to accept those huge things. No telling what else has been modified. I personally don't get the fascination with donk cars of any kind.

Nationwide there has been a tragic health epidemic this condition has prevented perfectly productive Americans from experiencing the joy of getting into a vehicle at normal ride height. This condition also requires the need for extremely poor braking, trunk rattling, and expression for fondness of American "hoes". The need for "hoes" attention has resulted in pharmaceutical companies and federal government funding researching and creating a cure the "donk" to combat this socially unfair need of attention. Unforeseen problems arose however leaving "bit@hes" with a feeling of exclusion from the attention "hoes" were receiving resulting in the invention of the 15" subwoofer. Now "bit#hes" and "hoes" are able to feel secure and owners of donks can once again walk the projects with their heads held high.

True story I have a cousin that is a drug dealer he verified it all

Seriously - I can't believe people waste so much money building these circus freaks. Who in their right mind would even want to drive NEAR these turds? Must have to sneak up on the pump to put fuel in.....

Hey, I don't agree. The wagon in your picture has style, purpose and fashion for the time it existed. Can't see where they put the switch to roll back the convertible top though. Plus it has a whopping 6 HP!!!

From what I can see though the gear ratio on that unit would have limited it to around a walking pace . turning ratio would be much more respectable than the 'donk' that started this.....

Just a different perspective.

I dont get this either, i think they do it to try to show off how much money they have, but if you have a lot of money id think youd be driving something classier than an 80s cutlass haha. What i hate the most is how this has trickled into our new car market. You cant buy a new Camaro with anything smaller than what? 18s? And the SS comes standard with 20s? Its rediculous. Dont force me to buy wagon wheels on my brand new performance car

And this isnt even the end of it. They usually swap the interior to some extremely ugly two-tone color, ive seen neon yellow and grass green two-tone, grass green and cream white, bright red and blue, terrible terrible interiors. And dont forget, 3 TVs in the dash and one in the back of every headrest!

Actually the vette doesn't look all that ridiculous with those wheels. but beware; that car has "Targa top dual exsualt", whatever exsualts are . Besides how can you argue when it "run good drive good"?

You know why he needs the money? I'm thinking because he spent too much on those stupid wheels/tires

I've never actually seen it painted onto the car though.

One thing I noticed, the definition also stated something about a woman's rear end. The car...well looks like *** too.

Nope. You'd need to have at least 26" rims to make it a donk. The way it sits probably has spec rim size but oversize tires. That's just cool IMO. You can go lots of places most of us can't. Did you also adjust your speedo gear to compensate for the tire size or drive with gps speed.
