    For those of you who may be wondering, a Donk is when someone puts jacked-up suspension an a usually fairly low-riding car. They then put mahousive whells on it and a brand name. Here is an example:
    http://tinyurl.com/h4tnnys (view at your own demise)
    I was just wondering what it would be like to have one of these in-game, and realised that no-one had made one, even in the mods section. Bear in mind that to complete the effect you have to modify the arches, so it would work better with a swapable body, like selecting normal, or donk mode.

    Anyone else think this is a good idea?

    no?

    didn't think so. I'll just crawl back under my rock.

    Nope. To me, it's a stupid idea even in real life. I cringe every time I pass one of those cars and it makes me wonder who in their right mind does something like that. Doesn't raising the suspension and putting x-inch wheels just ruin the handling?

    TL;DR: I think it's absolutely retarded, but I won't bash you for the idea because it would be fun to slam one into a wall - where it belongs.

    Well that's absolutely awful but I won't mind to have some setup that could allow something like this. I mean, you can already make a riced up car with exaggerated camber, and I remember there's at least 1 Monster Truck setup mod for the pìckup.

    Not like this is a MUST HAVE TOP PRIORITY FEATURE but more of an option in the future to see how terrible this kind of setup would behave. And of course driving them down cliffs.

    It ruins the handling, but as I always remind people handling doesn't matter in a street car, if you can take most corners without problem if you aren't driving like an idiot it's good enough, but more ride height make it so you don't have to worry about bottoming out ever and it's easier to get in and out of the car than a car that's low.

    I didn't click the link, that one wouldn't be easy to get into, but if the car is raised a reasonable amount(2 or 3 feet off the ground at most I'd say) then it's easier to get into. most donk cars are just showcars anyways so practicality doesn't really matter, the most important thing they need to be able to do is get on and off a trailer and they can do that much better than lowered cars or even cars with stock ride height.

    Eh, I am not too worried about that scenario. I think writing a post that is relevant to the subject is more important than repeated material.

    I will not say Yes or No. I find the idea funny, yet revolting.

    I can already imagine how easy they would be to roll over. I assume that if you try to turn at any speed over 45mph and you are going to be barrel rolling into the next dimension
