Donks are ridiculous and laughable enough when they are old hoopies or whatever.

Using a Z28 Camaro is...worse?




I would have had to get video of it to show, but the wheels were visibly wobbling too. From behind it I could see the upper edge of the rim moving in and out from the fender about 1 inch. Like they put a little pebble between the wheel and hub to make it not seat right.

But it was all 4 rims doing that.

That's actually a pretty cute shot, although it wouldn't be nice if it cuddled up next to you sleeping while you inhaled exhaust fumes through the night

I might have thought that this one got rear-ended but, the whole car was in this condition.

rattle can flat black (very poorly done), steel wheels, dents and sings galore, silly holes cut into stock bumper... but, funniest of all was he tried his hardest to keep up while racing a stock base model '90s mustang that was barely trying yet stomping his ***.
