The most striking donks have “themes,” lifted from pop culture — or, surprisingly often, branding. The Hawaiian Punch Green Berry Rush donk, built by Mr. Scrape Customs in Sumter, S.C., is a good example: its owner brought along a bottle of the stuff to Mr. Scrape and announced, “I want it to look like this,” explains Robbie Casselman, the shop’s director of sales and marketing. So the car mimics the screaming green color and includes a custom interior console with Hawaiian Punch labels under plastic, as well as a big logo on the trunk. Mr. Scrape has also built cars with Lucky Charms and Spider-Man themes. In addition to donks with color schemes inspired by Garfield or Sonic the Hedgehog, other logo-themed examples online or in the pages of Donk, Box & Bubble include McDonald’s, Newport cigarettes and Aquafina. From what both Scotto and Casselman say, this began largely as a matter of aesthetics and took a quick road to conspicuousness. Borrowing an appealing color combination from striking packaging seems to have led to a way of making form match function in total outrageousness. [...] Similarly, the use of logos seems to have more to do with fitting into donk culture than with brand endorsement. That may change: Scotto’s magazine was recently commissioned by Coors Brewing Company to build a Coors Light-themed donk. But for now, the real effect of logo themes comes down to branding the donk itself. “It kind of gives the car a name,” Scott says — albeit a name borrowed from commercial culture. “All cars that have that kind of theme to them are better known.” Here, then, is what lies beyond the candy-colored, or even kandy-kolored, hot rod: the Skittles donk.
