C'mon, I like some mods but there is a point where you cross the line, and then there is a wall that should never be crossed. Maybe he put those wheels on it so he could driveOVER the wall.

Ridicule will never be enough for this guy. Here's a Q I've got - Is "Donk" to describe the Donkey's A@@ owners who do this stuff? - Sounds right to me! Somebody spank that punk -

Despite mother nature's time proven best efforts for sexual selection, idiots do proliferate.

U-G-L-Y!

wow. I saw this over in OT and it still isn't getting any better.

The Cutlass Convertible above is killing me. What a sweet ride, or, well, it would be, but not without a change in ownership.

I'll bet those 'donks' go through u-joints like a coke-fiend through an 8ball. I guess if you do enough booger sugar thatmight look good.

I'm not saying you have to like them, but the cars are saved from the crusher or sitting in a field rotting away. I mean yeah, it's not what classic muscle cars are intended for but we modify cars to our taste and this happens to be his. I see these "Donks" all over Kentucy where I live and some make me laugh. I'm sure it is a chore to drive these things but have you ever driven a "Pro street" car form the 80's on the street? They look way better to me but are useless on the road. I admire ALL cars even if I don't like it. I think he needs to spend more time and money on the suspension and brakes but it is what it is, I just get tired of people slamming things just cuz they don't fit the mold.

To each his his'in, or her'in, or...ur'in! His car, his $s, if that's waht he wants... Okay, but IMHO my Brother's '66 coupe "Pasture Pony" looks better. It's been where it is for 22+ years now. True it's sad, but better looking!

I agree. Even cars that are built like this support the industry on which our hobby relies.

If it were only that simple. Production of the various parts tends to follow where the market - and the money - appears to be. By way of example, have you shopped for latest-generation rubber in 15" sizes lately?

Just because you can do something...doesn't mean it's a good idea....

What an idiot.
