Hi-risers aka Donk, Box, or Bubble.

So I had to perform a Google image search for donk box bubble cars . . . I cannot recall when I’ve seen dumber shit. I swear I’m not from this planet, it’s just all a cruel mean joke the others played on me by dropping me off here at birth. :suicide:

Another good reason to live in Alaska. Snow eats those things alive. Yes, we have stupid vehicles every once in a while, but they rarely last through the first winter.

By far the best one I have seen was a thugged out white boy in one painted up white with Saltine Cracker logo’s all over it. I nearly ran into a ditch laughing at that one.

Locally we have logo Donks to cover every soda, candy/snack, fast food restaurant, cigarette/cigar, and booze of choice. There is one in the town I grew up in painted up purple with Playboy Bunny stuff all over it driven by a local welfare queen who is also an aspiring small time porn actress. She has a huge add painted on the back shout’n out what she does and how to contact her for hire.

Any of yall who’ve been to Augusta or Ft Gordon will recognize this area. Unfortunately in my area, a lot of those who have these cars drive them like the road is a closed course track for them. What is funny is in this video they pass a gas station that was robbed a few weeks back while I was in Disgusta working. I was passing by when LE responded heavy. Bad area as is a lot of that town.

This is very typical behavior in my area. Go some place like a gas station & park in ways to basically shut it down from others using it.

Whatever you do, don’t hang out around Ft. Campbell Kentucky. No shit, probably every 50th car is just like that one, or worse. It’s not soldiers doing it, but local dumbasses.

Some history on Donks and Theme Cars

I see it all the time as I work in an industrial area with a large section 8 housing community up the street. Piece of shit $500 cars with $5000 worth of “bling-bling” wheels, tires, & a lift kit to fit them. A stereo system which makes every part of the car rattle to the tune of “Bitches, hoe’s, diamonds, & money”. Then some ghetto ass looking thug (who looks like the alien/monster in Predator) with his seat reclined to the floor steering the jalopy & driving like a complete retard.

If only I could purchase a hunting tag for these varmints…

But since those are not available, I turn up the tuner on my diesel & fog them with black smoke at stop lights. It’s fun.

The first time I saw this phenomenon was when I drove out to Indianapolis for the 2005 Grand Prix.

I was as confused as anyone. I have been in the car “scene” since 2001 when I bought my TA and began Drag Racing. I have never added anything to the car that does not benefit at the track. I understand why people lower/tint/instal huge stereos and so on, but this I just don’t get.

It could be worse. It could be partially taxpayer funded (they claim donations and volunteers built it, but someone has to drive it, fuel it, insure it, and maintain it; and who pays for that :mad:):

Just in time for cinco de mayo “community outreach”. The Chief approves:

Chief Lansdowne was on the San Diego news in the next story complaining about budget cuts and having no money for overtime, plus losing officers to other agencies due to low pay. Given these problems, you would think that an SDPD lowrider wouldn’t be very high on the priority list. Easy way to fix the budget - stop paying for stupid shit.
