The tape player in my truck is broke, so I caught an NPR interview with the kid from the song when I was driving home from work at 8 am the other day. It was pretty funny. Scrapers are cars (especially g-bodies) that are painted bright colors and put on huge rims. Sort of the new school version of lowriders. This kid wanted one, but couldn't afford it, so he painted his bike bright colors, and put candy wrappers in the spokes to mimic dubs. Sort of a low-buck lowrider bike. Kinda cool actually...

yea i hate to say it but i kinda like the wheels!! i googled em and saw some bikes with aluminum foil wrapped around the wheels and it looked like they sharpied colors onto em. i guess if you had a set of 144spokes you could paint the spokes different colors.....thinking.......

There's a custom rim place up the road that always has some heinous automotive abomination parked out front. Lately there's a 77ish Buick Electra, painted up in Raiders colors, that you'd need a stepladder to get in! :roll: I like lowered vehicles, but this jacked up car thing is just ridiculous... ~Adam

Are they the same as Donks, or is there a difference?

Not that I'm any kind of expert on what the kids are driving these days, but yeah, I think they're the same thing. Personally, I like my cars lowered and my trucks lifted. That's just me though... These days the trend seems to be to do it the other way around.

Yep...been posted a couple of times before...pretty goofy.

I slam everything I steer.

I live in the middle of the woods, and during the winter having a 4wd with sick ground clearance is really helpful. I usually don't see a plow within 5 miles of my house for at least a day after a snow storm and missing work isn't an option. I wouldn't kick a dropped s10 out of my driveway, but for the most part I dig big old trucks with huge tires and a lift kit. My last one was an 87 Power Ram farm truck. Here's my latest, a 90 GMC Sierra with 3 inch suspension lift and 32s. Future scraper? :mrgreen:
