Default wow

That is an awesome car NOT! The sad part is he probably put alot of time and effort into that thing and I bet he loves it. There are a tone of " fast and furious" themed cars up here and believe it or not some of them are pretty cool looking considering what they are. I have not seen any lifted like that though. Thanks for the Laugh!

No. My eyes just aren't as good as they used to be. I thought it said "Del Monte" on the rear glass. Really!

Proportions are all out of whack on that thing, does it remind anyone else of a Hotwheels car? Looks like something I'd find on isle 10 at Toys-r-Us!

Living right next to Oxnard, Ca gives me the unfortunate chance to see a lot of this crap. I see a house in a crap neighborhood, with crap all over the front, sides, and back of the house, baby diapers thrown in the street when "they're done with them", 20 people living in the house, BUT! A shiny Lexus or Hummer in the driveway with with every stick on piece of Pep-Boys "chrome" available along with the obligatory huge rims and tires. Some screwed up priorities.

They hang "bumper nuts" off the back of those kinds of cars here. It adds a little redneck flare I guess.

But, isn't that car officially a "bubble" and not a "donk"? I thought the old vintage cars were "donks", the 80s cars were "boxes" and the more modern cars were "bubbles". Or do I have that backwards? It really doesn't come up much in conversation for me, so I could have forgotten the proper designation. There's an authoritative publication on the subject appropriately named "Boxes, Bubbles and Donks" Actually, gentlemen, as a OG from Oak Town, I believe that mo fo be a Im-Pala.

You got it right, except the magazine title which is "Donk, Box and Bubble." Don't ask why I remember that, exceptional displays of stupidity sometimes stick in my brain. (Not that I have any problem with the cars, a buddy in HS fixed up an 80s Monte Carlo that was very cool. The whole gaudy paint/dump truck-sized rim look is retarded, though).
