Wait.. this is classed as a donk? I don't see any obnoxiously large wheels and a liftkit.

Why kill the ride? My Roadmaster with 18"s is already stiff :(

The mirrors being above the beltline signify this is an LT1 wagon. (94-96)

330 HP and 350 tq make for a fun sleeper

I know it's not a dictionary definition example, but what would you classify it as otherwise?

My uncle used to live in Japan and he told me the only American cars you would ever see there were Cadillacs driven by the Yakuza and Chevy Astrovans, which sold surprisingly well. I got to visit him once in 2005 and he was right, I saw like 5 Astrovans, the big conversion style extra tall kind.

Wait what? LT1 wagon? That happened? Mind= blown.

I thought the SS was the only one to get the LT1.

You could get the LT1 in every B body, my cousin has a 94 roadmaster LT1

Haha I will remove the donk part, I guess. I only like it because I imagine a Japanese guy sitting at his computers looking at a bunch of rednecky/ghetto cars and thinking "I need a car like that." A car for those with a discerning taste.

USDM is actually becoming big in japan, even with what they call domestics, a lot of them import USDM parts to make the hondas/toyotas they drive look like the cars we have here. Which I guess pans out great since every import guy over here wants a JDM car.

Wow. I read a piece on one JDM car made to look like a USDM "JDM" car. Things are getting too complicated!

I'd class it as a stanced out, lowered car, maybe a pseudo low rider.

They really are, all the more reason I don't follow the import world.

You don't have to follow the scene to appreciate the cars, though.

I do appreciate not having my car stolen and cut up to find the parts on 10 different EG-EK civic hatches though lol

Very true...

But that isn't the whole picture!
