Some interesting stuff, the Choppers should be popular if they aren't too skeezy.

They call the Monte and the Buick Donks but I think the proper term is "Boxes" for the squareroof cars. "Bubbles" are the Caprices/Impalas from the early-mid 90's. I'm sure there will be a rush to have a new class at the NNL :rolleyes: :eek: :D

Someone should build a NASCAR Donk monster truck chopper!

These guys (http://www.eastcoastryders.com/) have an active Atlanta chapter. Maybe we should invite them to display at our show!

Any clue how the hell they get in and out of those things? Step ladders? Fire escape ladders?

Those "Donks" are the dumbest cars I have ever seen. I first started seeing them last year in S. FL. I didn't know they had a name. I just called the Big Wheeled cars. Basically they seem to take the same kind of boring sedans that elderly people drive and jack them up to monster truck height to put those oversize wheels on them and give them ugly paint jobs. I saw one the other day at Walmart. It was green like the Testors sublime green and it had these big green disc insterts in the wheels behind the chrome. It was some boxy Impala. Gross!
