    Default Serious Question..

    *kind of crazy to have a serious question in the whoreslounge, but i figure i would try*

    Why is there so much hate on donks, but there is no hate on lifted trucks w/ approximately the same diameter wheel and tire package?

    Lifted trucks are just as, if not more, gay than "donks" or whatever they're called. Personally, I hate Redneck Randy in his jacked up truck with retarded wheels/tires more than I hate D-Lo Brown in his Lincoln Donk Dingler.

    because trucks dont look goofy with a slight lift to fit 28"s but a caprice requires 14" of lift to get the same wheel/tire to fit.

    You already know the answer to that one....


    Personally, I think Donks look soooooooo much better without the airbrushed logos...Clean paint> airbrushed logos...

    donks are pieces of **** whose wheels cost more than the car is worth, and the owner usually still owes on the wheels.

    trucks with same said wheel/tire package, are usually pretty good, clean trucks, and look nice. said truck is worth more than wheels, where the owner typically still owes on both truck and wheels.

    Simple answer: Because Lifts are more suitable for truck not cars.

    The thing about it is once you get over 24" wheels, the automobile (wether car or truck) becomes dangerous to drive. They stop like a train with all the additional rotating mass but no brake upgrade. I saw a Box once and pulled up to it with my Tacoma and his bumper sat higher than mine and his centercaps were close to the same size as his brake rotor...

    this is true too. It kinda follows the same lines as the argument people make about lowered cars being okay, but lowered trucks being stupid...

    Donks=sh!t IMO

    I think they are worse than ricers...

    Lifted trucks with wheels and the right size tire=sexy as hell

    Donks are nothing but a ****ty car with wheels that are 4xs the amount of the car...I can't express how much I hate donks..

    Because lifted trucks serve a purpose... mud-bogging, climbing, riding down rough trails etc.

    This is bs on so many levels and furthermore, you are stereotyping...

    I know quite a few people who :
    A. Have owned ( read own the title) to their big bodies and pay cash for all ther mods. Ignorance my friend, owns you....

    B. I have seen many old rusted, practically falling apart trucks that are lifted.


    And really at the end of the day, modding ANY car is stupid, as it realistically doesn't add to the value.

    Towing and Ground clearance for off road endeavors.

    Cars are not built to due either.


    I said "BUILT" so don't tell me about your aunts towing package on her camry.


    With that said, this is a case by case type of deal because not ALL lifted trucks are within reason.

    I disagree. I think it should be just as illegal to lift your truck so much as it is to lower a car.

    Trucks have a COMPLETELY different frame/suspension/body than a car...it can have a life and aerodynamically be safe...Still have stopping capabilities and look CORRECT!

    Where as a "Donk" isn't meant to be lifted...it puts much more stress on the motor and unless the suspension/brakes/body is done PROPERLY(which it RARELY IS) the car won't stop correctly, it still looks like ****, you'll hear the engine stressing like hell...etc..

    its tacky, annoying, and retarded...

    That's 1 example...Find me a "donk" that looks like it was done properly...

    That truck has a lameass grill and the lift is too high...all you have to do is a simply lift, decent size rim/tire package and leave it alone...

    they pay cash cause its all they have. debit card/bank accounts are in negatives if they have any, credit cards are maxed. only thing left is a job that pays cash. aka drug $. theft. etc.

    yea but the donk riders dont take their cars off road!!!!!......theyre made for the road!!!!!.....they are a CAR!!!!!

    and most guys i know with big trucks dont go off-road that much......i mean we dont live in a third world country so a big a$$ truck in the US is not needed.......most roads to get somewhere are paved ........1

    real talk, and i'm pretty sure some people thought i was thinking this when they saw what i posted, but i think part of it is hate...no i'm not a person that wants a donk, but in most cases u see blackie riding high in his donk...personally i only like the clean ones, i hate the one w/ butterfinger logos myself...but if its a one tone paint and done nicely, i see nothing wrong w/ it...

    its almost like what was kinda said before, donks are the rice of old school cars...they are mainly for show, not DD, maybe a weekend drive (i would think)..

    but u have whitey here driving his camo z71 on 40" swampers...and he's cool, cuz he makes humming noise while he's driving, making him think he has a hummer cuz of his humming tires...

    whats wrong w/ having a lifted car?

    whats wrong w/ having a lowered truck?

    whats wrong w/ respecting what they do and just appreciate their different thought on doing a car?

    ???

    The "donk" thing just doesn't annoy me as much as lifted trucks do.

    2" lift to put on a set of reasonably sized rims under your truck? Fine. I've no problems with that. It's these excessive retards that bother me.

    Again, more ignorance and stereotyping on your part.

    I was alluding to cash being payed instead of running up credit cards and taking out loans like I've known quite a few ppl to do in order to modify their rides.....

    So what you're saying is that YOU can prove that EVERY PERSON who has a lifted truck uses it for offroading?
