Some people buy a car to ferry themselves from place to place, while some think of cars as big toys to play around with. Still, it's sad to see beautiful classic cars ruined with ridiculous modifications - and none is more ridiculous and unnecessary than donking.

Donking, as we all know it, is essentially turning a car into a hi-riser by putting it on ridiculously massive wheels. Oftentimes, these massive wheels are accompanied by low-profile tires and flashy paint jobs. Worse so, the victims of donks are most often large classic American sedans or sports cars, which makes this car culture one of the most hated today.

Donking was birthed by the Dirty South subculture, better known as the South Coast Hip Hop. Though, now you can see them just about anywhere. So, here go 15 classic cars that were donked out so bad they will hurt your eyes whether you're a classic car aficionado or not.

Notice the ladder placed on the side? Well, that's how you get in or out of this ivory tower of a car, unless Rapunzel was driving it. It will also make for a handy shelter from the rain, considering you can always stand under it for protection. The picture screams ridiculous, don't you think?

14 Too Big For Its Tires

Look at the wheels closely, and you may spot a reed-thin layer of black rubber- that's all this late '70s Impala has separating it from the tarmac. Not exactly the safest car around the corner.

13 The Off-Roading Ford Model T

Decades before anyone even thought about donking a car, this Ford Model T sported disturbingly large tires that made it off-road worthy. However, paired with the unusual headlights, this thing looks eerily reminiscent of an overgrown spider, more at home in a Harry Potter flick than in real life. Just imagine it coming towards you in a dark forest.

12 Big Wheels Won't Save This Rust Bucket

We don't quite get what they did to this poor Camaro which looks like a strange cross between a monster truck and a donk. It seems to serve no other purpose than to scare the competition into submission in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, or crazy rally where you race while you raze.

11 What's Next??

We can't spot any tires on these huge rims, so either this is a work in progress or a project in deconstruction. What is this car supposed to do, exactly, considering it's a hazard to even attempt to drive it? Our best guess? A very eye-catching ad aiming to scare people into buying whatever it's advertising.

10 Big Tires Make For A Strange Donk

This 1977 Chevrolet Camaro has been donked out in a really strange way. Instead of putting in outlandish rims and low-profile tires, this Camaro owner has simply swapped out the original wheels for some hefty ones, though even this may have needed a suspension jack to be able to withstand the fat-boy tires.

With a yellow body paint and some shiny gold wheels, this is one car that may look great in the sunset but will hurt your eyes bad in broad daylight. Father and son seem pretty proud of their hi-riser though, so there is no accounting for taste.

Take one look at the wheels and even the most healthy and non-sugared ones among us will have a hankering for lollipops. Are you humming the lyrics of the Candy Man song already? The car may be polished to a sick shine, but the driver definitely doesn't look happy wedged in there.

7 Donk'd Out Buick Regal

This picture comes from a Reddit user who spotted this ridiculous Regal at the Merryville Walmart parking lot. While some appreciated the work that's gone into donking this T-top Buick Regal, others didn't quite get why anyone would like to ruin a perfectly good classic like this. But the owner is definitely proud, seeing how he even went to the trouble of putting "Regal" on the rims!

How to ruin a perfectly good Chevrolet Chevelle SS. Take a classic model, remove its original wheels, and put in massive and ugly donks. Finally, paint the whole thing in an eye-hurting shade of orange.

After that, take it out in the blazing sun and listen to people wishing they could unsee your car. Polish and repeat.

5 Once A Police Car, Now Ashamed

The Ford Crown Vic was never high on the lists of buyers. They had plenty of bulk sales because not only was it the official patrol car of most PDs across America but they were also the most commonplace taxis. This is neither and stands ashamed, painted in scarlet hues, riding on chrome and red wheels suited to, well, nothing.

This particular Oldsmobile model should be named Cut-loss, as in cut your losses and run, because not only has the life been donked out of it but the tires are so low-profile that the suspension may not survive for much longer either, even if it has been adequately beefed up.

Jeeps are quite the American classics, and having one turned into a monster truck donk seems a bit off, especially for the classic CJ model here, made by Willis. Also, how do you get in and of this thing, if you have no boost available? With this height, driving it must be a king-of-the-road feeling!

2 Hydraulic Ford Torino

The Ford Torino has had a fairly successful run as a passenger vehicle, and then in NASCAR as well, so it hurts the eyes of most Torino fans to see it donked out like this. And though the red paint scheme is cool, what’s with the hydraulic lift coupled with those strange, boomerang-shaped rims?

1 Another Cutlass

The Oldsmobile Cutlass here looks a bit blue, though the driver seems rather proud of his all-blue donk's swagger. The matching sickly pastel shades of the car and the rims seem a little over-the-top, as does that blue-themed supercharger popping out of the hood.
