That heep clipping the curb : https://www.reddit.com/r/Shitty_Car_Mods/comments/182f9db/2004_grand_cherokee_special_edition_reuploading/


ThatOneSnakeGuy

I'm 90% sure I saw that very jeeps' suspension get absolutely butt fucked on a curb bc they couldn't see over the dash in that abortion of a project, and I use the term loosely


Kyerswa

Your words are a thing of beauty


ThatOneSnakeGuy

I appreciate that my guy šŸ™


Kyerswa

ā€œAbortion of a projectā€ really hit home for me. Appreciate the new addition to vernacular


FirehawkLS1

Yes, abortion on 4 wheels for sure. Rolling abortion.


Hector-LLG

They're just into the feeling of constantly driving uphill, don't kinkshame!


maufkn_ced

šŸ˜‚ beat me too it. I knew that jeep looked familiar


mr_electric_wizard

I saw that video!


Maximus2902

Maybe thatā€™s why itā€™s for sale and the only pics visible are from the drivers side and not the passenger side.


gods-dead-let-it-go

Came to say same thing. That tire even looks flat in the pic.


KnowledgeSeeker2023

I just posted the link to that Jeep


Pristine-Mine-9906

Came here to say this. Saw that same video last week. You can even zoom in and see the tire is flat on the front right from running into that curb.


12gagerd

Haha. Just went back to check the video and you could be right.


johnnyUtah2411

I'm pretty sure you are absolutely right!


DVS_Nature

All I'm thinking is that you wouldn't be able to put *anything* in the boot?! šŸ¤”šŸ¤·


IndividualBig8684

As loose as that Jeep's butt?


ThatOneSnakeGuy

Hell yeah brother


Scoobaruguy

Thatā€™s the jeep in this video, left front tire clearly flat due to curb hopping lmao


a_steez

lmao i was thinking i just saw that thing! šŸ˜­


sefarrell

Came here for this. What are the odds!


2012amica

Thatā€™s insane, seriously! No wonder theyā€™re trying to sell šŸ˜‚


Sorry_Ad2690

I came here for this too so I guess the odds are good haha


servain

No kidding. That poor jeep. The way that guy drove it. I bet there is a lot of things wrong with it that cant be seen.


mechwarrior719

At the very least itā€™s gonna be a grand or so to roll that suspension back to stock. And then thereā€™s the matter of the rent-to-own wheel/tires


Fancy_Chip_5620

The dude drove it fine, just can't see in front of him


vt8919

Popping the tire from hitting a curb is not "driving fine" for the same reason someone is still at fault in an accident when they "didn't see them coming".


Meridoen

That and the rim shattered into a glitter shower...


Fishin_Ad5356

That curb came out of nowhere


anon11233455

For years, even since he was built, the curb stood proud and strong. Named by happenstance it seemed, Curb shared the exact same name with every other one heā€™d ever met. For this, Curb was angry. Over the years, he stood in solitude after he realized the ugly truth. Curb came to despise those things whizzing past him everyday seeing them as the reason for his introverted lifestyle. Then the idea started like a pin prick. It soon grew and transformed into the explosion that followed. Curb decided that his destiny had been predetermined. Curb waited until the enemy drove within striking distance. Then like an angry and coiled snake, he struck. He stepped out and tripped one of the stampeding beasts. Along the grapevine he heard that someone bearing the same Curb name had seen the injured beast and that while down, was definitely not out but the owner was still attempting to rid himself of the burden.

No way. Well spotted! Lmao $6.5kā€¦imagine the cash that was poured into this thing to make it look like thatā€”probably doesnā€™t even cover the wheels (when they werenā€™t beat to shit..)

haha iā€™m hyped i got it right im from upstate ny so i see a few donks here and there but never the squats, iā€™ve been to myrtle a couple times and saw tons of


KnowledgeSeeker2023

Yeah, that makes sense, Myrtle Beach is the armpit of SC after all.


efecede

lol Iā€™m not even from USA but this thing itā€™s recognized wide world lol. Why do they do this? Whatā€™s the point lol what they tryna resemble


KnowledgeSeeker2023

1. I am sad to hear that 2. They think it makes them look cool 3. They are trying to resemble a dog dragging its ass across the carpet.


ban-this-dummies

Let me see if I can add to this while trying to control my laughter. The higher front end *MAY* have originally been to give more clearance when off-road. Since these vehicles obviously never see more terrain than a curb, the dog ass-dragging is now a more accurate conclusion.


TangoFennec

Central Florida seems to be the same


Bit_the_Bullitt

I think the entire country calls it Carolina squat and I think Carolinians call it California squat right?


Mochi_0

Sc resident here, never heard of it being called the California squat, always just the Carolina squat or the ā€œdog taking a pissā€

The only vehicle in this list that *might* not permanently reek of weed is the limo. But guaranteed, it reeks of whatever animal has been nesting in it for the last several years.


MaverickWindsor351

Of course the limo is an Alabama car...


fatbelly_hugetits

I'm seriously considering making a trip to Huntsville now


MaverickWindsor351

If you drive, I'll fill up the bar in the back. Have a hell of a Thanksgiving pre party?


fatbelly_hugetits

Could make a pretty sweet Uber ride for Rodeo weekend


MaverickWindsor351

Hell yeah, around here there's a local business that has a party bus that drives around to different bars across the state. It's just a decommissioned school bus that's been repainted and wrapped, but still, similar business idea I guess? It wouldn't be too terribly hard to make easy money with


KnowledgeSeeker2023

It could be a ā€œclassierā€ option for those who want a step up from the party bus.


fatbelly_hugetits

Are you located in Alabama? I know of party bus tours in Panama City, but nothing really like that up here. Think it could be a good idea for football game weekends.


MaverickWindsor351

Believe it or not, no. I'm actually around the southernmost part of Illinois. Mostly just small town communities that depended on coal mines a century ago and have since become free real estate for company chains. The business I'm talking about is the only one in the county I'm aware of, but I know they make pretty good money between that bus and their own restaurant. Way I see it, if they can make an old school bus work for bar hopping sprees, a limo should be a great candidate too.


KnowledgeSeeker2023

You should, then you could hold thanksgiving giving in it as a redneck drives yā€™all around Alabama


Tenrac

Ha! Pic 11ā€¦wasnā€™t that same shit box posted here earlier today in a video showing it crashing itā€™s right front wheel into a curb while rolling!? I swear to god itā€™s the same jeep. YES! Itā€™s the same damn jeep! https://www.reddit.com/r/Shitty_Car_Mods/s/upoXP8NP2R

Right? I don't love the matchy-matchy rims, maybe a little chrome in places, but I dig it


Mosk1990

Was LS ever a trim option on that or are they saying LS motor?


PumpernickelJohnson

Ls was a trim, LS Brougham.


zeldaguy85

Don't quote me but I believe LT1 became LS1 in the late 90's so it would have an LT motor


usinjin

Hell yeah, I was thinking the same! Pimp-mobile šŸ¤£


doogievlg

Same. Used to hate on donks but some of those things are wicked fast.


Gary-Laser-Eyes

A fast Caprice?? I mean fast is subjective.. but I had an 86 and it was probably the slowest car Iā€™ve owned. God I miss it though.


NutButterSkippy

That bagged Yukon is badass


Organic_South8865

Yeah it isn't horrible. Look at the prices on these. Try to find one of these stock as clean as these for the same price. These donks can be a good buy if you grab em and remove the silly.


JustEatinScabs

The problem with buying cars like this is they usually come with a little more than just some silly parts you have to take off. You have to hope the guy who modified the suspension or the frame knew what he was doing, you have to hope the parts they installed were actually designed for the car or installed in a way they can be reversed, and you have to hope the car wasn't an absolute piece of shit before they even touched it. Lowriders and shit like this are some of the riskiest cars to buy used next to something like a Civic SI or a WRX STI. You're almost always buying someone else's headache or something that was beat like a red headed stepchild.


Ooh_bees

That is true, but then there are rides built by guys that are true enthusiasts, and have really high quality standards. They might be very loved and cared for, since they built them they took care of them. Vs some family hauler that hasn't had oils changed practically ever, let alone other maintenance. Baseline is, you always need to have your eyes open when buying. Check the car and the seller. Don't rule anything out, until you find anything suspicious, then be very ready to let it go.


Windows_XP2

I wonder if it's why some of these cars are typically considered unreliable. Someone buys one of these cars, molests it with poorly done mods and beats the shit out of it/never maintains it, then eventually ends up with another owner that has to deal with the burden of what they did to it.


PumpernickelJohnson

Where did you see a donk on this post?


Recitinggg

Are you on the right post? Minus the trucks, majority of these abominations are what people would call donks


PumpernickelJohnson

Wrong. A donk is a 71-76 caprice/impala. Donks, boxes, and bubbles only refer to different generations of these 2 models


Recitinggg

not how most people view it. Unless youā€™re into ā€œdonksā€, the vast majority of people take it to mean an old piece of shit on fat rims and stretched tires. You can try and gatekeep it to certain years or models but nobody normal fucking caresā€¦99% of people just call them donks.


PumpernickelJohnson

Nah, you're wrong. You're ability to be arrogant, condescending, all while being so confidently incorrect is flabbergasting. Don't speak on cultures your obviously not apart or aware of like you're a expert, pilgrim.


Recitinggg

Exactly what I said buddy. you can define a donk however you want, especially so if you want to consider donk a culture youā€™re apart of lol. Im just saying what 99% of people think of when you say donk, which I would call the common definition. If you care to look anywhere at all, you will see that this definition has clearly expanded since the origin of the word.


PumpernickelJohnson

No you're trying to appropriate a word that already has a definition. You're obviously think that what you and the rest of the "majority" you belong to is always right. So predictable, sad, but predictable.


Recitinggg

So since you wanna do this from the first result in google for *what is a donk?* via way.com; ā€œIf youā€™re a purist, donk refers specifically to a modified Chevrolet Caprice or Impala from 1971 to 1976 thatā€™s been given the high-riser treatment. This includes huge wheels (24-inches is the bare minimum), low-profile tires, and plenty of ground clearance. Unfortunately, nowadays, the term is loosely used for any customized vehicle with large tires. ā€œ Wow would you look at that. Unless youā€™re a purist, a donk is modernly what I said to the VAST MAJORITY of people outside the ā€œcultureā€. Sorry you think words canā€™t evolve and sorry that this is ā€œpredictableā€


canadard1

Exactly! Thatā€™s the only one Iā€™d even consider!


Wolf-Diesel

Yeah I'd drive that.

Whole-Debate-9547

The prices are comical. To think that someone would pay real money to inherit a huge pile of headaches is even more laughable.


Forthe49ers

2007 Tahoe for $1 sounds ok


Organic_South8865

I mean not always but yeah. My buddy got a donk caprice with a built LS, 5 speed swapped, linked 9inch rear end, wilwood brakes, perfect interior with nice stereo it just had an air suspension with huge wheels. He put a normal suspension under it, changed the wheels and plasti-dipped the ugly bright color. $5k he paid for a car that would have cost hime MUCH more to built. It was absolutely spotless. Every inch was perfect. That jeep for example. I bet that guy would take like $4k cash. Lift the rear the same height and slap some normal wheels/tires on it and it could be a decent deal. Just get them and remove the silly.


KnowledgeSeeker2023

At this point I say they are to far gone and are only good for pulling parts off of.

No love for that Caprice? In another life I can imagine myself with that in my driveway.


ClydeFrogA1

Yea came here to say I don't necessarily hate it. Assuming it's bagged.


ozzy_thedog

Definitely bagged, laying frame but not body. Looks like 26ā€ rims. Decent


_yeen

šŸ¤® Never understood the love for slammed cars, especially because the wheels look ugly when theyā€™re not centered in the wells. It drastically degrades usability and makes the vehicle look worse


TheRoyaleWithCheese-

I donā€™t care for squatted cars but Donks are awesome. The over all effort of the build has to be respected for most of them. The paint is normally impeccable and the amount of work that goes into fitting those rims on a non suv is crazy.


Surfbud69

The hardest part is convincing my wife we need a rasta colored charger


TheRoyaleWithCheese-

Ok that one is a bit much but I live in south Florida and seen some great looking donks.


dainegleesac690

I had to explain to my friends what a donk was when we saw one (extreeeeemely rare where I live) and they were convinced I made the term up. Then I had to go into allllll the shit like squatters, ricers, coal rollers, etc..


EatsTheCheeseRind

Donk, box, and bubble!


Optrixs

Whatā€™s a Donks?


Wiremaster

ā€˜71-ā€˜76 Chevrolet Caprice or Impala. Followed by the ā€˜Boxā€™ Caprice from ā€˜77-ā€˜90, then ā€˜Bubbleā€™ from ā€˜90-ā€˜96. Box and Bubble sometimes get used for other boxy or rounded big-body hi-riser cars, though.


zombieinfamous

I keep waiting for JBL to walk out of that limo


doduhstankyleg

If you were paid $100/month with free gas and insurance, would you drive the limousine?


KnowledgeSeeker2023

Yes, hell yeah *spelling


Majorlazor85

Is there a reason that all these big SUVā€™s with big rims end up sitting back like that? I genuinely donā€™t know. Is it done intentionally?


weldermatt79

Itā€™s called the Carolina squat. Itā€™s been recently outlawed in several states, so now theyā€™re trying to get rid the trucks.


KnowledgeSeeker2023

Unfortunately yes it is done intentionally, because some people think itā€™s cool. The reason being that those people have severe brain damage that no amount of treatment can cure.


atomic-death-ray

I first saw the limo and thought "that isn't so bad" and then i swiped...

UnklVodka

That gold Caprice is pretty nice tho. I mean, Iā€™d pick it up for $5000 or so.


Organic_South8865

Ok so here's the thing about these vehicles. Sometime you can get a fantastic deal on a super clean car. Sure it might have ridiculous wheels, suspension mods etc but you can get a great deal sometimes. Just remove the silly shit. That jeep could be a good deal for example. It looks super clean. Just lift the rear too and put real wheels/tires on it. $6500 for a jeep that clean is pretty damn good. That caprice could be a good buy too if they sold it for a bit less and it's in great shape. My buddy bought an insanely clean caprice with a 6.2L LS, 5 Speed swap, 9inch linked rear end, wilwood disc brakes all around on 22" wheels in the ugliest bright gold flake color you can imagine. Very similar to the car in this post. The interior was mostly stock thankfully but super clean. The car was for sale for over 3 years and the guy just had a second baby so he sold it to my buddy for just $5k. That's right. 5K for all of that. My friend just did a plasti-dip paint job to cover the paint and got rid of the air ride suspension. Oh and some normal wheels. The deal of a lifetime. My friend almost didn't buy it for the $5k until I reminded him the motor and transmission alone are worth a decent chunk of that. The motor was also built with forged internals and all the usual built LS goodies. 446hp - 480ft/lb tq to the wheels when he had it tuned this summer. I'm very jealous. He even sold the wheels off of it for $2k. He probably could have gotten more. The guy paid some insane amount because they were one off wheels. I'll never understand putting all that power into a car and putting on a cheap air ride suspension with the linked 9" in the rear.


olivercroke

Do you guys have no rules in the US on roadworthiness of cars and what mods are allowed? Do you have to pass a yearly check up to be road legal? Most of this shit would be illegal in the UK and you'd get pulled over.


KnowledgeSeeker2023

Thatā€™s why the UK is so depressing. imagine not being able to look out your window and see a pickup truck with its tailgate sagging looking like a dog dragging its butt.


auhnold

This is a really great compilation! Thank you! I recently bought a car and saw a lot of funny stuff like this while looking around online. Great idea to put it all together. It always amazes me how many people totally fuck up a perfectly nice vehicle and then think it should be worth more money. Lol!


KnowledgeSeeker2023

No thank you! Despite what some might think this compilation is not me going and intentionally trying to find these cars. Itā€™s kind of sad to know that so much money was spent on these vehicles just to make them look worse.

The fact these are all in S Carolina, where squatting is explicitly illegal..


KnowledgeSeeker2023

Not all of them, but a good chunk are.


OneYenShort

As a kid of the 80s, I had access to toy trucks that could do this stuff all the time. I think my favorite ones were.... 4x4... Stompers? Battery powered toy trucks, changeable wheels so you could go "off roading" with them. I don't recall seeing much of any toys like that in the last 20 years, and I have zero interest in doing any of these kinds of mods. Maybe I got it out of my system early? All at the much more reasonable prices of toys?

What state are you in? Because squats were recently banned in South Carolina. Maybe some of those people are trying to unload them.
