my condolances
I'm really sorry to all elcamino fans but I just could'nt keep these to myself. The paint and body is worse than what was done to it. Should've painted it blue with white caps.
some day it'll be done

OK. So tastes vary and I try to be openminded. How is the DONK trend different than the old trend of putting car bodies on 4x4 chassis? The guys doing the donks are missing the boat completely. They need to start with truck chassis and adapt their favorite body to it. Sure would be safer than some cobbled together "lift" on a car frame.

At least it's done tastefully and they didn't put gaudy wheels on it.
I am also trying to be really open minded. Really. I am trying really really really hard. After all it is, errr was, a car and we are all car guys. Originally Posted by andrewb70

Nah....This is a fad, like every other fad that has come and gone. Let's name a few. Remember: Originally Posted by Black-Jacket

Sport Compacts-This was a biggie. I remember SEMA 2002. You couldn't swing a dead cat without seeing, hearing, everything was buzzing with Sport Compacts. All the American manufacturer's were scrambling to jump on the bandwagon, which at that point had already hit its peak and was about to make a descent like the first drop on a roller coaster. Definitely still around, but it too has found a happy spot, with dedicated enthusiasts and hardcore racers.
Pro-Touring-Yup. Someone had to say it. We too are a fad. I mean really. Think about it.
Pro-Street-Same deal. Still around, but not like it was in the late 80s
Low riders....
Lead Sleds....
Rat Rods....
The DONK deal is the same thing. It looks like the phenomenon is huge, but in reality I bet its very small. It too will find its nitch in the market and will ultimately contribute (somehow...trying to be possitive here..LOL) to the overall car culture.

Well if it can hurry up and contribute what it's going to contribute and then be merrily on it's way, I'd be real appreciative.

Mikey, I took my dad to that show on Sat. and when we passed that El Camino he said, "that is the stupidest thing I've ever seen" and I'd have to agree.
On the other hand there were a few very nice 2nd gens there.
