Donk Sorry ‘bout the poor quality, but I didn’t really get a chance to get good and close to any of the donks cruising OKC. According to the wikipedia this one, an Impala coupe, is about as close to the definition as it gets (though sadly missing flake grape jelly paint job): Most hi-riser enthusiasts agree that a “donk” traditionally is a 1971 to 1976 Impala. They were given this name because the “Impala” symbol was referred to as a “donkey” by owners or “donk” for short. To complement the sloping rear, the suspension of donks are frequently higher in the front end than the rear, resulting in a nose-up stance. I should donkify the s2k once I get it back to California.

Honey Roasted Stopped in WPB for a day to have a quick visit with some friends, and their neighbourhood has a new Planters-mobile parked down the street. I’m probably going to have to get one of these when I get back to Sac.

Sometimes The Worst Ideas Are The Best Ideas After seeing the Honey Roasted Plantersmobile in Florida last week, I decided I’d have to get a donk on my return to Sacramento. Thanks to the magic of the internet, doing so turned out to be remarkably easy. Now I just need to pick a candy theme to paint down the side of it and I’m set. And of course, y’all are invited to come down to go cruising.

Marlboro Smooth Possibly the best feature of the Eldorado is the free box of menthols that came in the ashtray. Or the custom aluminum gauge cluster. Now if only I could figure out how to get the speedo or fuel gauge to work.

Upgrade Mere hours after Superbite gets the upgrade from leaky street tires to a set of used dirt tires (from a guy who only ‘pounded pavement’ with them) she’s already got her eyes on something bigger and better. She’s on 33s now, assuming I can get the drivetrain to handle it should I be going for 37s or straight to 42s?

Unstuck And of course the first thing to do with new tires is to get them stuck in the mud. Note to self: figure out which of the many unlabelled positions on the transfer case shifter is 4x4 low locked before stepping into the goo. Had a fun hour of digging with the generous assistance of a dad out with his ~5 y/o kids who cheered from the roof of their Subaru wagon. On the way back to civilization we stopped at the dump to drop off the traction carpet that we used to get out (just an excuse for a trip to the dump really), and discovered that Superbite with her 270hp Chevy SS396 LS3 weighs in at a healthy 2640kg (5820lbs), which according to the Google is the same as a fully cargo’d 2012 BMW 7 ActiveHybrid at 455hp, or a little bit more than two S2000s stacked on top of each other (480hp if you combined them). Whoa, no wonder it accelerates like a baked potato with a death rattle.

EuroDonk Like a Sasquatch or werewolf, sightings of the elusive EuroDonk are only verified by grainy shadows, a barely recognizable silhouette of a black and pink Crown Vic riding through central Brussels on chrome tri-spoke’d 22s.
