Default Took out for a spin literally.

I found a coltasack(sp?) and decided to some donuts on my first time driving the car. it definately needs the power steering hooked up and a 4 wheel allignment because its all over the road.

Cul de sac.

Driving a car that has power steering on it that isnt hooked up has to seriously suck...

Cult-a-sack...

I'll bet the people who lived there were thrilled with the new donuts in their street.

Dead end.
no power steering sucks, you just need to learn not to slow down. Thats when it gets hard to turn.

I live at the end of a Cul de Sac and if anyone came down my street and started doing doughnuts (Corvette or not) I would put a brick through their windshield before the second time around. I don't even want to talk about what would happen when dickbag decides to get out of the car and complain about it.

I'm sitting at work all pissed just from reading the first post in this thread.
Life needs an a$$hole filter.

Sounds like you're pretty damn irresponsible, kid...I'm still a month and a half away from 18 but I am a HELL of a lot more responsible with my car and my Dad's/bro's LS1 Trans Am/Z28 than you are with "your" car. First time driving it and you're already spinning donuts...I can see you coming back on here and telling us you smoked the tires off a traffic light and spun into oncoming traffic.

Look, I don't drive like some 80-year-old in a Buick - nothing like that, actually - but the point is I know my limits as a driver and I know the limits and potential of my car. I have plenty of fun with my car, testing the acceleration, spinning the tires and pulling donuts, but I do it responsibly, and I damn well didn't do anything like that when I was first driving my brother's Z28.
