Default Donks Make My Head Asplode!!

Okay here is one with fancy paint. But wait, something is wrong. Extra points if you can spot it. Hint: Guardian Angel needed…STAT!

I used to be into the donk scene so I can appreciate a well-done car but the one you posted above is NOT a well-done donk. Needs more chrome and less rent-to-own.

Okay here is just one of the catastrophes with this Donk. Notice the 6-7 inch long pipe used as a spacer to "lower" the steering tierod. Several other concerns but that is the main one…think of the leverage! The owner told me it was fine cuz he used grade 8 bolts. Umm…remind me not to fly in an airplane you "designed".

I KNOW! I KNOW!
It needs bigger breaks to stop because of the extra rotational mass of the big ugly wheels.

There are alot of donks, and even more hoodrich donks here. More then 98% of them have super hideous chrome wheels.

if you want to put the image inline, just put [ img ] and [ / img ] around it. no spaces.

Will the img/img thing work for files I upload to this site?

Open uploaded file, if it's not on it's own page (nothing else on the page) then right click, "view image" (or something like that), copy the URL, hit the icon that looks like this--><--, paste the URL, hit OK.

Let's see if this works…a front view of the same Donk. That's actually more steps than using one of my own photo sites, when I upload a pic to this forum for use on this forum?!! Okay…guess they used the equivalent of a 7 inch pipe spacer to adapt the "steering linkage" when they tacked on that forum feature... ;-)
