What does donk mean?
If you say derby I'm driving to Detroit to shoot the guy in both knee caps.

It's even worse that it looks like it might be drums on the back of that donkmobile. As if it could be worse.

Gotta give him a +1 on the paint, though... that's a gorgeous hue.

Not sure about top speed since the speedo only went to 85 mph but it was beyond buried. Stoplight to stoplight was what I meant. There is someone on this link that "guestimated" 115 mph but you can't prove it. This article is meant to dog the Plymouth Champ but the comments from real life owners tell a different story of the little cars.

Wasn't the Champ the Plymouth version of the Colt? Back when I lived in GA, a friend went to look at a mid-'70s AMC Hornet with a 360/4-speed and all the outlandish graphics & spoilers. The same seller had a showroom-condition mid-'80s Colt Turbo with the wacky overdrive manual transmission, sorta like a Corvette 4+3. That little sucker was a blast to drive! I almost bought it to ease up the fuel bills as opposed to driving my 440 Six Pack every day but keep the fun quotient high. He wanted way too much for it, though.

Don't mind me....I was just being my usual smartass self.
A few of those little suckers were damn quick little cars.
Myself...I'd rather have a slug land yacht....it's just what I like
But there's no denying that some of the small Mopars were fast as hell.
Look at the SRT Neons.....
