IMO A donut is easier on the car than hooking up!

I would like to see a pic posted of a nice set of canes. I would do it myself but all my vehicles are automatics. There was a street nearby where i live that you would see them regularly but it's too busy now so i don't see them anymore.

Doughnuts?
Who's bringin' the beer?

OK, seriously, I agree with a few of the guys above, especially on wet pavement, I don't see any harm.
