So no hate from me.
But I personally would not do my car the same way, though.

Are you kidding me? I was born and raised in Miami and South Florida, have been building cars my whole life, and have owned everything from Donks to Maximas. Is there something wrong with typing correctly and trying to be clear and informative when explaining a statement on an internet forum?

Well the way you worded it, it sounded like you did a copy and paste from Wikipedia. Anyways, you should know that the original donk scene has grown out of those old 71-16 Impalas and Caprices and went to other GM cars like the Cutlass, Buick's, Cadillacs, and now Crown Vic's and anything else that can be lifted up and have large wheels put on it.
A Box Chevy 77-90 Caprice/Impala is not a Donk, it's a "Box". A Cutlass, Regal, Monte Carlo, or Grand Prix is not a Donk, it's a "G-Body". A 91-96 Caprice is not a Donk it's a "Bubble". Granted, some owners of these "non Donk" vehicles may say they have a Donk, but unless it is again a 71-76 Caprice/Impala it is not a Donk.
In South Florida the Donk is revered as top of the food chain in the hood, for big rims, loud music, candy paint and such. They are harder to find, and generally more expensive than a Cutlass or Box Chevy. Therefore you can see why people would want to say the have a Donk, even if it is not such.

You are incorrect. A "Donk" is a 71-76 Impala/Caprice and nothing else, period. There is no "donk scene" that has grown out of anything, just thousands of people who misuse the word, and classify cars improperly. The Donk scene is alive and well down here in South Florida and the owners of these cars, and other lifted/big rim cars know the difference, and refer to the vehicles accordingly.

Brings me to these two, scroll down in this thread:

Opinions? The convertible doesnt look too bad imo, could use some rims. But I think that's way too much work for a 4 door family sedan

Jesus dude, it's just a generalization. When the term "donk" is thrown around, it's just known to be an obnoxious car with huge wheels, sound system that rattles every panel on the car, and TV's wherever you can fit them.
Everyone I know uses the word "donk" in a bad light.

Yep, its the same everywhere: hate cars that we don't like for ourselves, and that we couldn't afford to build! I like how everybody get's sore and bashes "donks" yet like Kountz430 said the "donk" owners cold care less if somebody mods their car differently.

my big thing is if you want to do the big rims on your car great thats fine but make sure your car is worth it. i have seen some cars around here in birmingahm that shouldnt be on the street. but you know im not made at them for doing it. its their car do what you want but try to make sure its alittle nice if you do that

This is a forum were you give your opinion on something. Getting upset at ones opinion or saying they are butthurt over donks is plain stupid. Its not racist. We like import sports cars not 28" rims. You do, thats great. Realize people will have differing opinions, you will be better for it

when viewing cars such as donks on forums youtube and the like racial slurs do get thrown around quite alot. but oh well. though its not my cup of coffee, but as a car enthusiast i will defend his or her choice when comes to modding cars/trucks.One man perception of vehicular art is different from the next. Anytime a guy takes a car from our side of the tracks ( maxima's) and decides to do away with stock paint gets respect in my book. (just dealing with the registration and titling is a hassle)I dont see to many non stock painted 4th 5th and 6th gens unless the guys arent posting them up or just moved on. and lets be honest go down a few size's and they'll look good

you can tell by what I drive Im into import performance but I'm not going to sit and hate on someone who's wants to style their maxima a different way and not think its the fastest thing on the road. Not a donk fan but I know different strokes for different folks.

everyone has their own taste and I think it looks good, and unique. its different and makes me happy to have a maxima knowing that I can do a lot with it if I choose to. down here in south kak, maximas on big rims are pretty normal especially at the car shows, a lot of people like them modded, why, because its somthing u don't see everyday.

It would be fine if it was well-executed. This...erm...isn't.
It looks like the dude ran out of money after he bought the rims and paint job, and as a result, just threw cheap, paper speakers in the doors. I see no brand names, finishers, or custom work. It literally looks like the speakers are just cut and glued into the door panels.
This thing is a fail in my book.

i appreciate the difficulty put into fitting those wheels but its just stupid and stupid looking. check my link on the first page, the man has to make a 3 point turn in order to make a 30 degree bend in the road, how's that not stupid??? and it doesn't even look good, AND its a v8 camaro... put some ****ing exhaust on it i wanna hear that small block, not 58 speakers and subs that a little camera mic can't pick up anyways.
those huge rims look decent on true donk cars, not my style but they look ok on them older gm's and such. There are only a few cars that are "dub"-like where you can put those rims on it. cars such as an escalade, aviator/navigator, chrysler 300, lincoln ls and a few others. i hate when people with no taste buy a normal car and fit the largest, ugliest chrome rims they can find and think it looks good. like wtf

With that being said i agree with a properly executed donk does look good. imo a well done donk has goodies for all to enjoy, sexy paint ,well thought out interior, performance and braking,wire tucked and nicely done engine bays and properly tuned audio and video for days.I also agree with a slapped together donk makes the rest of the scene look bad.You also have to look at the fact of how many Maxima's ,240's, 300zx's, Sentra's, Civic's, Integra's, Prelude's, Neon's, Colbolt's, Cavalier's Sunfire's Mustang's and Camaro's that are slapped together making the rest of gems look bad oh forgot focus's hell theres spot the rice threads on almost every forum other than that im not going back fourth with this debate say what you have to say and lets move on plus thread should been locked a while ago

Meaning he hasnt been around the max for very long so he hasnt built up the love for them that most of us here have and he still cringes at the disrespect. Different strokes for different folks but to pull the race card and say people hate on donks because black people usually drive them is sad.
