D-MAC’S RIDE MAKES THE HATERS COME OUT
Darren McFadden is Humanity Advanced, so we are not surprised to find the Arkansas Razorback RB demands that his automobile reflect the dedication of someone bound and determined to stretch the limits of engineering.
Or failing that, at least McFadden will squeeze every ounce of recoverable pimp juice from the humble frame of what appears to be a Ford Taurus. Correction: commenters leaning towards Crown Vic, which is even better.
Presenting: Midsize American Sedan-ity Advanced. (HT: Stephen)
I will be paying for a new vanity plate in excess bicep muscle, sir.

For the most part, I’ve heard that a “donk” refers to only to Impalas since some believe that the logo resembles a kicking donkey. Though, I know some consider only Impalas and Caprices from the early 70’s as “donks”. Then come the “boxes”, 80’s Impala, Caprice, etc. that is boxed on both ends. Finally, the “bubbles”, rounded on each end like a 90’s Caprice or Impala.
Whatever you want to call it, that’s most definitely a hi-riser or skyscraper.

After doing some careful measuring, those wheels have to be at least 26″.
If you figure a cheap set of 26″ wheels, by going off the price on the website posted above, that’s $3k in wheels alone. The tires run about $400-$1,000 apiece, so if you figure it on the cheap side, wheels and tires alone are 5k.
The paint is at LEAST 2k as it is waaaayyy too slick to be cheap. That 2k figure is assuming someone does the labor for free.
Long post short, he’s got at least 20k in that car, including purchase price. I guarantee that he doesn’t have a job.
Where’d he get the money?

Back in the day, Smoot would roll through MSU in a lemon yellow late 70’s early 80’s sled (of the “box” variety) with a sound system you could feel a block away. Good times.

#52. Im sure he could secure a legit loan (not that it nesc is or isnt) based on his potential future earnings. Plus, any money he does have, this is all a kid like him has to spend on.
Room and board – free
Drinks/weed – free probably
Clothes – all athletes wear are the free clothes they get from the school.
It isn’t like he’s got a mortgage and bills.

I’ll keep that in mind when I’m signing the papers for f*cking minivan next month. At least I won’t have to drive it during the week. Maybe D-Mac can hook me up with the guy who pimped his ride. Just because I’ve never seen an Odyssey with hydraulics, doesn’t make it a bad idea.

There are a lot of doubters out there today.
Darren likes to stand out. When he was talking to me about getting this ride, I could see the look in his eye. Boy, he really wanted those rims. I could absolutely tell that this was a special thing for him and I told him to get it.
The moments that a man spends with his car are precious and no one, I mean no one should try to deny him that.

Criss “Mindfreak” Angel least acclaimed stunt was when D-Mac drove his car over the mysterious provacateur.
Angel’s consultants later modified the stunt to include broken glass and a steam roller.

the reason the date says 99 on it is because that’s what it defaults to when the internal battery goes dead. use yo hedz, suckas.

#49 – Ever stop to think those pic’s were not taken in Fayetteville which ranks #9 on Forbe’s list of best places to live and work in the nation? Those were taken further south.
#30 – The front license plate says “Come Get Ya Some” (you can see the big “C” and the big “E”, those being the first 2 letters of the phrase). It’s the name of a custom shop in Ft. Smith which is an hour south of F’ville.

# 49 – Bad assumption those pics were taken in Fayetteville (which happens to rank #9 on Forbes’ list of best places to live and work, BTW).
#30 – Under DMac, the front plate says “Come Get Ya Some”…you can make out the big “C” at the beginning and the big “E” at the end. It’s a custom shop in Ft. Smith. I’m sure they charged him full *cough* price.

I don’t give a blankety blank what he drives. I care if he can perform on the field.
Seriously, your comments are about what kind of car he decides to pimp? If you’re a true Razorback, you’d be talking about his athletic prowess.

Ummm…
That’s about $10,000 dollars worth of lift kit, rims and tires there…
Not counting the paint job and interior refurbish (if it was done; can’t really tell from the pic)…
Just curious…
Where does a “poor” college football player get that kind of bread?

Braeden says:
For those wondering where the money came from, he didn’t get all of that car in one day to be like that.
He has pictures on his facebook of the car without it lifted at all from February 2006 but with the rims. So it was a buildup and not just a one time purchase deal. And the pictures were taken in Fort Smith

OOC, it’s inevitable. I thought that if I slept on the couch and avoided a third child the old-fashioned way, a minivan could be avoided. I hadn’t counted on the little wretches having friends…. they must get that from their mother.
(Honda Oddysey, btw, the official minivan of center-left breeders in the national capital region, if our friends are any indication…)
Maskedavenger, sold on the power doors, no question. I’m looking into one of those trash-can sized mufflers as well, just to annoy the new neighbors.

Haha minivans for the doomed and damned!
You should rock some wood paneling on that biotch, because if you’re not pleased about it, you can take down your kids through embarrassment and shame when you pick them up after school. Middle school will be extra effective for this, and if the car makes it that long, a nice first vehicle for a daughter who’s starting to get out of line.
My only other question…Do you get a sweet “World’s best dad” long sleeve T when you buy a ride like that?

Ah this makes me miss the old ‘89 Crown Vic I drove in high school. I WANTED to pimp it like D-Mac but had no funds.
That bitch got 11 miles to the gallon, but gas was like 79¢. Oh yeah and the clock for some reason skipped the 13th-32nd minutes of each hour, and displayed absurd dates like “19 1E.” We called it Hypertime.

Thow some DEEZ on that B*tch!
His car is HILARIOUS! And to think.. He’s actually proud of that car… But to clear up a few things for you people…
#1 – It ABSOLUTELY is a Crown Vic
#2 – Those are ABSOLUTELY 26’s
#3 – The term “dunk” was originally for a “box chevy”, now it pretty much applies to everything in that class
#4 – The lift kit is ABSOLUTELY not $10K, probably half that
#5 – to post #78, You may only be concerned with his on-field performance, but you gotta realize he is a person. A living, breathing person who happens to be a young guy in his very early 20’s. Some fan you are. You’re the type to say “F*ck ‘em” as soon as he is injured…
It’s about this “U”
