Things Are Different Here (Donks and Dubs)

"...typically a traditional, full-size, body on frame, V8 powered, rear wheel drive American-built sedan modified by significantly increasing the ground clearance and adding large-diameter wheels with low-profile tires."

ABQ is full of donks.  The wheels are called dubs.  The rubber part of the wheels is really skinny, and the wheels are typically open so you can see through them.    It's a little difficult to take pictures of other cars while I'm driving, and it could be considered rude, so I admit I didn't take these photos, but here are some examples:


 Here in ABQ, the windows would be tinted very dark as well.  Actually, almost all the cars here have tinted windows because of the climate.  Stephen says that my Volvo's windows would be illegal in NY.

Folks in ABQ also put dubs on their pickup trucks.  It's a whole car culture that I never noticed in NY.  Fun!
