It's been a while since we last showed you a clip of an classic donk because we honestly thought we'd seen it all. From classic 70s muscle cars to modern BMW and Mercedes SUVs, we've pretty much witnessed every type of car imaginable being ruined.
But this next one filmed over the 4th of July weekend has something different, something we've never seen before.
Donking is all about putting huge wheels on cars, in this case an 80s Chevy Monte Carlo coupe, the fourth-generation model built from 1981. Running on 26-inch Forgiato wheels, the two-decade-old body only leaves room for about an inch worth of tire, which probably makes the ride more than a little harsh.
However, its owner is not concerned with any of that on his weekend ride. In a parking lot somewhere on 8 Mile, Detroit, he thrashes his V8 engine and starts a massive burnout. Massive camber on the front is accompanied by smoke flowing from the rear, as the Monte Carlo creates quite a spectacle. We don't think we've ever seen something like this, especially the part where he hold the door open with his foot. It's somewhat like watching an elephant do ballet on stilts – enjoyable, but terrifying.
A brand new set of 26-inch Forgiato Capolavaro wheels like this one will probably set you back a cool $6,000 ($4,400), not including the candy red accents or the tires which were destroyed.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
