I can actually begin to understand why someone would do something like that, but so many of the Donks I see are total hack jobs suspension-wise. That one looks like it has some serious camber issues.

Oh my gosh...

I know that shop very well over... In fact Angie and myself bust up laughing everytime we see one of their new "DONK" creations... (is "DONK" the technical term for that?)

And how the heck do you get in and out of something like that?

Maybe they have to drive over to Lambert International Airport to get in and out?

Technically, that first car is a "bubble".

Definition of DONK, BOX, and BUBBLE on this page:

http://www.cardomain.com/features/donks

What I'm not seeing on that page is where the term DONK came from. The Impala logo "sort of" looks like a Donkey. Dumb, I know, but I didn't make it up...

Thought you might recognize it! They do some pretty wild stuff.
