What does donk mean?
[IMG][/IMG]
1st. Donk: Is an old school car(70's typically) with large rims and low profile tires, sometimes they sit HIGH...real high...other times they have a more clean look. Here is a picture of my friends Donk from this Fri night next to the Vette
2nd. Your car is really clean...I like it...what wheels are those, and is your car lowered? Also is that a big block hood? Aftermarket? Just give me the low down on the car man!
The most popular vehicles for these types of modifications are full-size Chevrolet models, namely the Impala, Caprice, Monte Carlo, and Chevelle. There are three main sub-types of hi-ricer, although the distinctions are blurred and open to debate. Most hi-ricer enthusiasts agree that a "donk" traditionally is a 1971 to 1976 Impala. They were given this name because the "Impala" symbol was referred to as a "donkey" by owners or "donk" for short. To complement the sloping rear, the suspension of donks are frequently higher in the front end than the rear, resulting in a nose-up stance. Other hi-ricers are usually raised evenly, resulting in a more or less level stance. A box is another sub-type of hi-ricer, usually a 1977-1990-era Impala or Caprice with a boxy or squared-off front and rear end. Other models that are frequently made into hi-ricers include the G-body Buick Regal, Oldsmobile Cutlass, El Camino, Pontiac Grand Prix, and Pontiac Bonneville.
Here's a couple pictures of my 1980 with 17x9.5" Z06 wheels, 2.5" wheel adapters, and Nitto NT555 Extreme tires 275/40 ZR17 front and rear. Plus, I can rotate the tires.

How long before Donk gets into the dictionary. I once didn't take a high tech job because the owner used the supposed word "synergy" somebody makes up a word and it sounds cool but actually has no meaning. I told him over an email.
