Don't Hold Back; What Do You REALLY Think?

Wood's 5.0 · Apr 4, 2019

I know this isn't a SN95 but I had to snap a pic. Is this a trend? Am I so far removed from the pulse of what's hip nowadays that I just missed this? I guess different strokes for different folks but...DAMN! Don't hold back...tell me what you really think.

maybe he has a stream he has to cross to get home.

Ummmm... No. Makes a nice Mustang FUGLY!

Come on, this is a carryover from Monday (April Fools) right?

I really can't imagine how it is even possible. I remember folks pulling a car body off it's frame and bolting it onto a truck frame like an old Bronco, but can't see how the suspension on a S-197 could be modded to hold what must surely be 30" riims?

Almost looks like a photoshop experiement gone wrong.

This has been going on pretty much since 2010. It’s been a fairly terrible decade for the automotive world. I’m hoping the 2020’s are better.

yea like they said its been going on mainly in the south and florida from what I heard seems to have a good number of them.

I can appreciate other peoples idea of what looks good...uhm....with their own car and ill stand back to admire their art while trying to understand it.

Gott give the guy credit. The car turns heads

Train crashes turn heads.

96blak54 · Apr 4, 2019

Well ..yeah...that guys ideas are train wreck level

I see stuff like that all the time. There's a few F-Bodies around here built that way.

01yellercobra · Apr 4, 2019

It's called a Donk. Thankfully we don't have a lot of them around here.

So you're mighty gangster? I'm pretty gangster myself.

Our tax dollars hard at work. Ugh.

LOL! No, unfortunately, this is an unedited photo I snapped during the middle of the day while riding around for work. Of course the THUMP, THUMP of the latest cop-hatin' (uuuhhh...rap, I think it's called?) is what made me look that way. I think FUGLY is an accurate summation of this once nice Mustang now taken to the depths of ghetto. IMO, whoever is responsible for this abomination should have their rectum sewn shut. Unfortunately, here in South Carolina we see this sort of thing a lot. Way too much in fact but it's usually relegated to the old Crown Vic cop cars, Grand Marquis', or Cadillacs. I hate it that a Mustang wound up getting "dunked" or "donked" or sodomized or whatever it's called. Since then, I saw a new body style Mustang (S550) give the same treatment; it was just as bad as this one. Sad fate for a Mustang even if it is a 6-cylinder. I wonder...this was taken in the middle of the day. Surely he must be on his way to work?

Not my favorite on the s-197 mustang; however (Mind you I work in Lima, OH several days a week) I've learned to appreciate that look on a beat ass old Monte Carlo from the 80s. Parade the old pile around town on rims that cost more than the car before it gets taken to the scrap yard!

I see it all the time here in Maryland, on Crown Vics, ex police cars, sometimes with really wild paint, but yes rims & tires cost more than the police auction specials

a true donk will have some crazy paint job that will seem to be made to attract children. I mean I have seen everything from mcdonalds themes to skittles but they always seem to be geared towards children. I have been wondering if it isn't just the modern version of the windowless van with "FREE CANDY" written on the side.

While one can say it's their vehicle and their choice to modify it as they like; I for one, do not like that style trend!
I find it aesthetically displeasing! Cars shouldn't be jacked up just to fit overly large wheels. It just simply doesn't look right. The proportions are all wrong. The best look is for the wheels to be properly tucked and the car no higher than factory (preferably lower).
Now this all deals with appearance only. If there is a functionality to it such as for Rally racing or such; then I'm OK with it.
