Exactly what a Donk is (with pics)

[Phoenyx]

OK, so I I put a fart cannon, big huge wing, some vtec stickers, a stick on hood scoop, etc. My car would then be considered 'rice'. And I also hope someone would shoot me.

It's not about the car, it's about the style.

And anything that has those goofy, over sized, lift kit requiring, wagon wheels goes in the 'donk' category.

Incorrect. When it comes to donks: It's not about the style, it's about a specific vehicle.
A ricer is not a specific car, it is a car w/specific styling. A donk is a specific car, not a car style. What is so difficult to comprehend about that?

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

I know right? There's a guy at work with an 86' Impala on 24's. The car looks nice. It's not my style but it's nice. I told him straight up I don't like big wheels on cars, and he took it with a grain of salt. People will always hate on your style somewhere in the world. Just get over it already. People call my 79' Malibu a muscle car, but it was a 79' Malibu bench seat column shift 4.4L dog until I got ahold of it.

So what do you call an Audi S4 with a busted body kit, a big spoiler, and pretty neons all over the car?

The dudes I know would call it a Euro.

But things change and evolve over time. And the first thing 90% of us think when we see big wheels and a lift is dink. Like it ir not, that's just the way it is.

i think that people get too worked up about the terminology, it doesn't matter

^Agreed

I agree with the two above me, it is what it is. If you don't like something and it's got nothing to do with you, then politely shut up.

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.

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.

X2 That's my understanding as well

Hey Qdub, what about a 67 Impala SS, 2 door??
