Exactly what a Donk is (with pics)

[Qdub24]

I'm tired of explaining and arguing with people over the definition of the word "donk". So here are pics of exactly what the word stands for:

1971 2dr Caprice

1971 4dr Caprice

1971 convertible Impala (aka "Vert")

1972 2dr Impala

1972 2dr Caprice

1973 2dr Caprice

1973 2dr Impala

1974 2dr Caprice

1974 Impala convertible (aka "Vert")

1975 2dr Caprice

1975 2dr Impala

1976 2dr Caprice

1976 2dr Impala

All of the above are Donks, 1971-1976 Chevrolet Caprices & Impalas ONLY. You may have noticed that none of them are on big wheels. That's because the wheels have nothing to do with the term "donk"; it's a nickname for those specific vehicles. Now that I have given this class, hopefully you will take this knowledge that I've dropped on you today and share it w/those who can't read.

...and knowing is half the battle! G.I. JOOOOOOOOOOOOE!!!! :wink:

also i think "bubble" is a term for the round 90s caprices and "box" is the term for the 80s boxy caprices, correct?

Yes. Have you been cheating?

"Box": 1977-1990 Chevrolet Caprice and Impala ONLY
"Bubble": 1991-1996 Chevrolet Caprice and Impala SS ONLY

A G-body on big wheels is a G-body on big wheels, plain and simple.

Then I think you should sue Jada Toys for using the Donk, Box, & Bubble diecast car line innapropriately.

They got it from the magazine. The magazine's last issue had a Ford LTD in it I think. I don't know where the mag got its intel from, but they were aware of the misinformation and quit producing the Donk, Box, & Bubble mag after that issue. That was years ago. I have all of those mags; there were only four issues.

Thanks for posting this up fam. I see you explaining it over and over again. But you know what? peeps are still gonna **** it up. Some may even argue with you that these fine examples are not donks. LOL! Im glad you posted "stock" pics also. This shows that it isnt the wheel that make the car a donk. BUT!! in some peeps minds its the wheels. ANY wheel over 18" makes it a donk. It could be a Mazda Miata on 22" wheel---Donk..LOL! sh*ts funny and frustrating at the same time. Again...Thanks for posting this. They should make this a sticky.
