Default donut

Took the car out Saturday to warm it up cause I had to back it out of the garage. wife wasn't with me, school wasnt in session so went to the local middle school to do figure eights to get some rear end grease in the clutches etc. Figured why not, and gunned it. I've never done that before in a posi-traction equipped car - THAT WAS FUN!!!! WEEEEEEEEE

round and round you go - making that rubber burn

Gotta make the tires wear out somehow so we can put more on

YEAH!! I know what you mean. I just did a few 360's in a empty parking lot a few days ago, now that was fun! (except when the spare tire fell out the back!)

I was kind of amazed how easily it came loose and spun around. I didn't go crazy and keep doing them. I figure the school/city wouldn't like it to come to school on Monday to a BUNCH of loopty loops in the parking lot. I told my wife and I got the "look"

I'll do it again sometime with her in the car and let her see how much fun it can be

May have to get out there and give that a try myself. Sounds like it was a lot of fun.

Back in my youth (ha) I had a girlfriend who would pee her pants every time I did a donut. The second time I got the hint and stopped doing them with her in the car. My present (read: last) wife dont see the fun in being in a car thats roasting a few skins. Whats this world coming to?

My wife and I carpool to work in the morning, she works further away (not by much) but is awarded free parking, so she drives in the morning, drops me off and picks me up in the evening, then I drive the rest of teh way home. Point of my story is when it rains or snows etc, I drive the whole way - I don't think she'll ever really let me do a donut with her IN the car, yet alone wanting to try it on her own )

Lock the wheel to one side and punch it. You'll be surprised. It doesn't take a HP monster with a rock crusher tranny.

At my previous job, I would do a few donuts for the technicians in the shop. I think everyone started the day better after that.

My first wife would call me childish and immature when I even chirped the tires a little bit. But my new gf says "more hp faster faster" I win!

I love spinning, gun it, turn hard, and let off the gas...see how far around you come (360...more?).

There is nothing like the feeling of the back end sliding out.

As for the Ex-girlfriend...she was nervous about doughnuts...but did almost have an orgasim once when I punched it from the light. She did the real long screaming (half frightened) "OOOOOOOO" She then proceded to tell me that she "had never gone that fast, that fast before!" LMFAO
