?

Should this be ripped off the face of the Earth never to be seen again by any living thing?

  1. Yes. This should go. Now. No excuses.

    I thought I never see this in real life, only in like California or something, but I saw one. No real life pictures were taken, but here it is:

    It just looks stupid. This needs to stop. This isn't good for the road. I bet they can't even off-road decently. Well, what do you think?

    It's horribly tacky and borderline dangerous, but I don't particularly care what people do to their cars, as long as the cars are not rare or vintage.

    Whatever. I saw an accord on 30 inch rims once. My mechanic friend took the body of a 1984 corvette and grafted it out to a the Ford truck with a v10 in it. Ton of custom work and it's just a cool thing to build. He also has short school bus he painted black and goes drifting in. Some people just want to build wild shit man. Let them.

    I'm the only one that voted No. Don't rip it off the face of the Earth! I like all riced cars including this one! :( I like it, it shows how stupid/mad the driver is and sometimes you just want to say fuck it and build a bizarre/stupid/wild/extreme car...
    I mean... why not ? :p

    This would be seriously illegal in my country and for good reasons if you ask me. It's hideous. I feel like we should take a few moments of silence for those poor cars who were molested and tortured to the point of being these total abominations. It's a total outrage that these things are actually allowed to exist.

    Raise the suspension, fine. Put big wheels and tires, fine. But that's just dangerous.

    I don't think those tires have treds on them. I don't know if I am correct; just tell me if I am. What I think is that those cars are absolutely have no grip.

    Back in 2012, i also saw a 30 inch wheel for a Hummer H2! But didn't really take a photo, unfortunately. It looks too weird and i like thicker tires more.

    Thick tires, okay. What we are talking about must be thrown into the Sarlacc Pitt. Yes I quoted Star Wars.

    What I think is that those cars fall over at even the mere mention of a corner. Those tires could have tons of grip, idk if they're sticky or not, but it won't matter, the center of gravity is so damn high it just falls over way too quickly regardless of its tires. For years, factory stock SUV's used to roll over really easily in hard corners. And those were stock vehicles, not ridiculous heightened abominations.

    I like rice, but this is just too much even for me.
    There is no reason it should exist. That is just total complete waste of a vette.

    Do you not understand the point of a show car? they dont need to drive well(or at all) they just need to be able to move on and off a trailer, its not like its someones daily driver. If anything donk cars are relatively practical as a showcar as I'd imagine they don't have as much trouble with any slight bump or anything like a lowered car would.

    I meant that in the sense that its practical as a show car, most other kinds show cars(from what I've seen at least) tend to have ground clearance problems which could cause damage to the sideskirts or bumpers as they are normally lowered and are normally low cars to begin with, donk cars obviously dont have trouble with ground clearance and because they are just for show the change in handle and long term effects of them being raised doesn't matter. And how is a camry practical? I'd imagine you'd have trouble fitting everything in it just from a trip to the grocery store... and if you bought anything big like a desk or something then you would need to either use a trailer(and I doubt it would be good for towing because most or all are front wheel drive) or you would need to have a second car, and I assume it would be really cramped inside.

    Nope. Just stop the BS right there. You're wrong. Plenty of boot and passenger space. They are full-size sedans, not sure what your understanding of a Camry is. Or if you've seen one.
    Also irrelevant when we're talking about donks.
