Friday Funnies: Do They Get Kickbacks On These Themed Donks?

yoohoo1There’s a saying: To each his own; and that should hold true in the automotive world just as much as it does anywhere else. There have been – and always will be – Ford vs. Chevy debates everywhere you go. Sometimes these disagreements become arguments, and sometimes they even become physical. When these debates, these differences of opinions, become physical and even violent, we often wonder why. For the life of us, we can’t understand why someone who likes one thing (like the Raiders) can have so much hatred for someone who likes something else (like the Chargers).

Really?? Would you drive around with a leprechaun on your car, or the Kool-Aid jug?

That said, we should state that while we find it rather amusing that someone would build a car and plaster something on the side such as a favorite snack, cigarette, fast food joint, cereal, etc., we will have to constantly remind ourselves that “to each his own” should prevail here. Everyone has an opinion, and most of them stink (wait, did we say that wrong?), but that doesn’t stop us from sometimes laughing out loud at what some people do to their cars. It’s bad enough that they install lift kits on a classic car just to fit ridiculously tall wheels and tires, but now we’re seeing kids cereals and drinks plastered on the sides of these cars.

Our first question is whether these people get kickbacks from the company that they plaster all over their car? We can’t understand why someone would plaster “taste the rainbow” on their car, or that it’s “magically delicious”. Is it just us? This is almost a NASCAR thing that people are doing to their donks, because I can’t imagine anyone else who would build a custom car and use these themes.

Top: where's the 'UNLIKE' button. Bottom: is that what he would do for a Klondike bar?

But then, these cars are about the furthest from NASCAR as you can get, they’re actually closer to monster trucks than a race car. Can we call these monster cars? We’ve included a gallery of some of the cars we’ve seen on the internet on various sites, and they’re almost like a trainwreck: you don’t want to be involved in it, but still, you just can’t look away.

Tell us you didn’t look at each and every one of these and chuckle just a little. We won’t tell. And who would love to see a race with all these sponsors hashing it out on a 3/4-mile oval? Would be an interesting battle, for sure!

Top: Well, at least this donks theme is actually NASCAR inspired, but what about the others? Bottom: Now we have the munchies.
