that is not drifting, that is a donut.

If you are going to make a dumb snarky thread, at least know what you are talking about.

This guy is going to have a hard time explaining this to the rental company.
Imagine if the damage is beyond just the control arm and the chassis attachment points. Those bedford castings are aluminum.

Does that mean can’t do doughnuts in a C8, or he just did it incorrectly?

Definitely the proper use. Though it’s most often used for people that suck at cutting up on busy expressways, it’s still used aplenty for people who smack light poles and curbs trying to do donuts.
Man though, I can’t even begin to imagine how much that damage will cost to fix if and when parts ever become available. Maybe it’ll end up in a salvage auction for anyone mechanically inclined.

A guy named Mack coined that term. https://www.urbandictionary.com/defi...term=macksauce

Yes - I looked it up too. I never miss an opportunity to learn something new.

Lighten up, it's not dumb or snarky, it's just a title for a post. Oh, you must be a drifter and this offends you.
I get offended when the local news calls it Street Racing, and it is just a takeover of an intersection and burning rubber.
There is no racing involved, just burning rubber.
Either was, it was worth watching for the "Don't do this" value.
