Exactly what a Donk is (with pics)

[Qdub24]

the 72 caprice and Impala are Identical other than the chrome trim, I realy don't know whats different other than an impala an caprice logo. Parts are looking Identical to the tee.

True. The Impala has generally just been a trim level of the Caprice.

God damnit man, why the **** did you even bring this up. Usually someone asks a legitamite question about big wheels, and some *ssh*les start ripping on people because they think big wheels are hideous. Its ****ing retarded, personally I think enormous rims with lift kits on cars IS hideous, but im not going to start ripping on people because of it. I have my taste and you have yours. No one has done this for quite a while, so why did you feel the need to bring it back up? You know this is just going to get some big argument going.

Someone in another thread misused the term so I decided to once again help people understand what the term actually means in relation to cars. I'm not trying to argue with anyone, just tired of G-bodies being called Donks. That's like calling a Mustang GT a Crown Vic.

I find it absolutely hilarious you guys get this upset over it. :lol:

I know what youre saying. Thing is though that some people are always going to call them donks just as a way to describe cars with huge wheels. Even some people who have non donk cars with big wheels call them donks. Here in my town their is a cutlass with 26s for sale that the guy refered to as a "donk" on craigslist. Just saying, I dont think anyone will change their termonology.

I find it ridiculously hilarious that guys are informed of the meaning of the term and continue to misuse it. :lol:

To get back on track

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.

You should be a good neighbor and inform him of his wrong-doing. Go out and teach those who do not know any better. Would you correct a person who continually calls a Monte Carlo SS a GNX? Or who calls a 422 a Malibu? I'm just saying......

The term Donk comes from the fact that the Impala logo on these year cars resembles a donkey. That's why it only applies to these years and to the Impala only, and not the Caprice. I think a few people on here getting upset about this should be named after the donkey's cousin, the jack-*ss.
