Okay, I'll admit my ignorance: what's the deal with the donks sporting corporate logos? Are the owners just expressing their loyalty to that particular brand of candy, soft drink or fast food chain?

Yeah, Donks- no idea. I kinda dig some of the suspension lift work they do (Kinda trick, in a WTF kinda way), and the paintwork itself is usually good. No accounting for taste, in any event.

I've seen Arm & hammer baking soda, Bank of America (Complete with night drop "Gas cap") Holiday Inn.... seems to me that they pick logos based on the colors. Though, I've seen an A&W one too..... but that was kind of a rad metallic brown. Cardomain is amusing sometimes.

Tell him to park it with the food vendors. If he's not selling hot dogs, have him work the furthest station from timing & scoring.

No matter what the event, someone's gotta be a...oh, never mind...

Donks with logos? I do live in the sticks. I saw a "No Fear" sticker the other day.

Hey, Hank! I have a great idea! I'm gonna build a 20 foot tall rooster and attach it to the back of Ol' Betty!

One of my saddest car memories? When my BIL's pristine Grand National was stolen and chopped into a botched donk.

I think most of these pictures were taken from the people of Walmart website.

I saw an article on this on an advertising website just yesterday. I can't find the link, but it was from a New Orleans paper that claims the trend started there after Katrina. One guy interviewed in the article chose Flaming Hot Cheetos (or whatever they are) as decoration for his G6 because "Everything I do is hot."
