I can't think of a better way to abuse more components simultaneously!! Someone's been watching FAST & FURIOUS too many times... This "stunt driving" should be limited to rental & stolen cars!

One of the guys here in the Phx area did that at ASU and got a Reckless citation. He's facing criminal charges with jail time and suspension of his license. We call him "Doughnut Dan" but it's gone beyond humor now. He's got an attorney and is fighting it but what a PITA.

how can you be so distructive to you car, they were not made for that kind of abuse, didn't you know you're only supposed to look at them and wax them.
