I hope that craze catches on over here, they'll all get laughed out of the parking lot.
They look like they've been photoshopped there!

A Maybach is a Daimler/Chrysler product that looks like a blown up '77 Datsun Laurl IMHO, I think they cost around $400,000

Actually I believe Maybach is the sister company of Mercedes Benz isnt it?

And NADS, being a reggae fan, I actually had the same thought a few monthes ago.....when did DUB switch from a form of musical genre to lifestyle?

 

Its all about the looks. The guy who has the most flash or bling wins.

You drive around the ghettos of Denver and you'll see Escalade's with the gold package, hugh stereos, $1000 wheels, parked in front of the most run down piece of shit house you can imagine.

"Keepin it real...."

What's a Maybach?

[/ QUOTE ]

A name revived by... BMW? Originally Maybach manufactured things like Zepplin motors. Now they're a ridiculously overpriced luxury car whose model names derive from their length in meters. I saw one at the Detroit Auto Show a year or two ago... gigantic things that make Cadillac Escalades or Lincoln Navigators look extremely tasteful.

They are very expensive cars with recliners in the back.

Maybach....Thats Ebonics for "I have a small penis and a lot of money"

 

At one point this thread was a somewhat interesting read.

The Maybach is a pretty damn interesting vehicle regardless of the price it brings. I highly recommend that you take the time to check one out in person. From a leisure standpoint and engineering standpoint they are amazing creations. I've seen a few in person and had the pleasure of sitting in one at a steakhouse. I asked the owner if I could check it out and he was cool enough to let me explore a bit. I'm not fond of the looks of the car whatsoever, but the interior and amenities are insane.

I'd rather have the chance to check out the car, than sit on the sidelines acting jealous and claiming the guy has a small dick because he has the cash to afford such a car.

Who really has the small dick?

 

Oh my god....I fell off my damn chair at work laughing at those ugly ass cars. Jesus Christ. Have these people totally run out of cool car ideas and have $8000.00 to spend on huge ass oversize wheels and tires. I can hardly type i'm laughing so hard. I cant even think of what to type..... ROFL LMFAO.... I can see the car club plaque now
"DONKS-East coast" This is too much.....

Ok, back to the topic.

I always thought "dub" ment to duplicate something. Thats a word used alot while your in the recording studio.....?

 

The term Dub comes from "Dub sack" or a $20 bag of weed. 20" wheels became known as "Dubs" and then someone capitalized on it.

 

This super trucker rolled into the plant where I work a month ago.

 

Here was the bumper, I was so proud.

 

actually dub was used as a slang term in the music industry long before it was a $20sack. as in over-dub lay multiple tracks on top of each other...ken....

 

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!
you're killin me...
dude... it's even got a cowl hood... the new gassers HAHAHAHAHAHA
seriously... i'm dying here.
wow...

 

What's all this talk about Maytags?! Sure, they are expensive but you get what you pay for and our dishes always come out spotless!

A little history:

Before Daimler & Benz merged in 1926, Gottlieb Daimler was credited with creating one of the 1st practical internal combustion engines and transmissions. When he died in 1900 his chief engineer Wilhelm Maybach took over control of the company. Daimlers finished #1, #2, and #3 in the one of the first (if not THE first) ever organized auto races in 1894.

Impressed by their success in the early races, a rich guy named Emil Jellinek bought controlling interest of Daimler. In 1900 they started making a 4 cylinder Daimler which was named after Emil's daughter, Mercedes.

Anyway, Wilhelm Maybach left Mercedes in 1907 and made engines for Graf Zeppelin, and subsequent to that starting making his own cars. The old Maybachs were like Duesenbergs, in that they were very high quality, coachbuilt machines.

When the Nazi's took over Germany they actually went around requisitioning (or stealing, whichever term you prefer)Maybachs from the wealthy for use as staff cars. They were extremely well built.

 

the only time ive seen a rapper with a cool car was once on cribs there was a rapper (might've been master p or somthin like that) and he had a few dragsters and a drag bike but even they were pretty garish with color changing paint and crap like that.

 

We've got quadrunners on public streets running 22"(?) gold Daytons, sweet!

I think you guys nailed it, the whole image portrayed in some of these mags and on the tube is all about EXCESS and nothing to do with TASTE! It's hilarious and nothing more. I suppose it is kind of sad how the media seems to cater to this kind of trainwreck.

ALL ABOARD!!

And here I always thought it came from "XX" as in "twenty" refering to twenty inch rims... back before those went mainstream.

 

I cant get over this Donks thing......What the hell has this world come to. They should call them Dorks.....

 

We have the late 80's Regals and Cutlasses with the 24" wheels and fake Gucci print vinyl roofs, dashes and seat inserts. Can anybody explain how that improves the look of a car?

Money don't buy taste.

 

you mean the name Mercedes came about before strippers? who'd have thought that mercedes was named after a girl - not a girl named after a car. hhmmmm.

 

I do like DUB's (20's) on some rides.. how about this, I would drive it in a second.. now jacking a ride up to fit wheels like those circus wagons shown above its down right wrong..

 

The DUBs guys that think they're something new ought to go back and look at the pimps cars of the early 70's. Superfly types. The welfare caddillacs and Barrio Bombas of the 60's. Or all those stars on the fender skirts & fancy curb feelers from the 50's. Tastless overdone bolt on extravagance is ageless. No matter what the car, sooner or later someone will put pink fake fur and leopard skin vibrating seats in it. Then they'll chrome the rest.

As for DONKs... I keep thinking of Crocodile Dundee... "I don't need a gun, I've got a DONK!"

 

Or how about this wagon... these new Chrysler produces are just screaming for big wheels.

I have never read DUB I can say....

 

I cruised by that Magnum in my roadster in the Wilshire district last weekend. The guy driving it gave my roadster the thumbs up so, he can't be totally tasteless.
