Why no spinners or Donks?

I would have thought they would be around by now after the BRZ appeared in that dumb-ass movie.

I like the Donk scene, to be honest its no different then the hella flush scene, really the same idea just one wants to be really fucking high and the other one wants to be really fucking low.

So if you ever see someone running air bags and hitting on the Donk guys, just endure the irony for a second.

They think a lot of things are good, doesn't mean it's not crap. So just a matter of time then, I guess.

Well, if you were talking about the second movie, I might agree with you. And, frankly, they're paid professionals. You're a guy with a keyboard. Guess who's opinion matters more.

Edit: In the interest of keeping things civil, I just think your opinion of it as a "dumb-ass movie" is a bit excessive, especially without anything to back up that opinion.

because fitting oversized wheels on a lifted vehicle is the same as fitting oversized wheels on a lowered vehicle.

My wife knows I've been looking at wheels, so I always point out the donk setups, and ask "how about those?". Muwahahaha....

No, but its the same concept.

Both render no performance aspects whatsoever and both are done just for looks.

You were saying?

If you base your like/dislike/opinion of things on what a "paid professional" movei-watcher says, my condolences. It's a stupid movie in a series of stupid movies. You like them, BFD. Why so serious?
