I'm on my way home and I'm in the #2 lane which is a double wide along with bike lane figure about 25' wide. I see the Donk car in front of me and am amused...I figure it has 24's or something...I dunno. He signals to make a right turn and he moves to the right to execute his turn. Well, as he does so, I begin to pass. Next thing I know, he's swinging back wide and into the lane where I now am. I swerve and like some brainless driver, he doesn't even look to see I'm along side.

The wheels are so huge, he can barely make a turn.

Cars like this should not be legal on the roads!

 

100% Agree'd. Unsafe IMO.

 

It's fact of life in the Bay Area - home of the scraper.

 

What the hell is a Donk car anyway?

 

 

I think lifted trucks are worse though.

 

They both are bad. Here in the Bay Area, people in Oakland/Richmond/San Francisco even though the Prius rules in SF, there's a ton of scrapers - old Buicks or Oldsmobiles, even SCs on 20" or higher wheels. In the Concord/Walnut Creek/Pleasanton/Livermore area, lifted trucks driven by SoCal wanna-be kids rule.

 

unsafe cars period here in fl they lift with the big wheels they do not use any upgraded brakes some still have the drum brakes !!! they still use the stock lug nuts and stock studs !!! very dangerous !!

 

hmm...most people that drive these "cars" can barely afford to put the bling on their car and don't realize that they would need to upgrade brakes, etc. among other things.

 

There's A TON of them around here. Its more popular than the ricer crowd now. I see more donks than Civics with exhausts and windshield banners. Most don't have air suspension here though.

And yeah, most are higher off the ground than a truck and still run the stock drum brakes and can't turn for crap. Not to mention the owners drive like complete idiots. (way too fast and without regard for other vehicles)

 

I have only seen 1 Donk here in AZ. I hope this growing trend doesn't catch on here. Either way, I'll try to be careful if I ever run into one. What I do see a lot are the lifted trucks, but the idiots that drive them think they handle like a honda civic .
