I like em!!

Not the extream 10ft tall and 30" wheel versions.

I like the 20"-24" wheel with a slight raise in normal ride hight and nicely detailed engines and undercariges!

What do you all think about these donk, box, bubble whips?!

I use to have 30" BFgoodrich ALL-Terrains on all 4 corners. Unstoppable in the snow, but they blew thru ball joints really fast.
Oh ya and I has SO many people ask me if it was 4 wheel drive that i started to tell them it is... You would not believe the amount of people who bought it

i don't care for the style either

and i too am glad to see these cars being used as something other than crusher food...i just hope they (the builders) don't dork-up the frames (with all the mods to get 90" wheels under the car) so as to make them (the cars) impossible to return to a normal ride height

I must be that 1in 10 because I love the look! I'm looking forward to doing this style on my next project. The sport has a new feeling to me again! After 20 years of modifying cars I felt like I'd seen and done it all , and then somthing as retarded and wackey/stupid like donk cars comes along and, well, I can't help myself!

High riding over big bling wheels with lambo doors and candy paint! Forgive me brethren.. I'm sold!!!haha..

Everytime I see one I think of Ronald McDonald , they look like clown cars. Usually they are not owned long before they either get repoed by the credit guy, or sold off to pay the bills,  sorry buddy, you live in public housing and you can build a car with all that crap. you're gonna have to pay somebody. Its just stupid.

Rockford knows his demography
how many of these cars have you seen built to look like a cigarette or beer company sponsored them...or some brand of clothing you've never heard of?

well. It's a intresting subject but once again I changed my mind.  Won't do it now, the shock factor has gone, now I just think I would have trouble with the cops all the time..  

Maybe if more built em I would in the future.....

They have to take the stickers off first!

i like them except for the rim why not fill up the wheel wells with rubber not rims.
I hate the rubber band tires they take away the ride quality also why not use dodge chrysler or plymouth or mercs instead of gm brand.
