Mustang in (almost) empty parking lot
 
No need to watch, you know what happens...

They darn sure make concrete light stands like they used to. I sure hope his insurance company sees that and denies any coverage for repairs.

They were having one hell of a time for about 30 seconds! I would have gotten my car farther away from the danger.

Hahah. Needs more practice.

I saw one the other day with a Dodge product, I think that climbed the block/pole and then rolled over onto its side or top.

you have to do those things with a crowd around to be on the safe side..
they always go for the crowd and you'll have less damage that way...

GH85Carrera 09-15-2020 10:45 AM

I just don't understand the desire to do donuts. I really don't. Especially in my car that I pay for the repairs and the tires. It seems to be really popular on most TV car shows.

Yea, I have had fun doing donuts on a snowy or icy parking lot but it takes little power, and does zero damage to anything. I have done donuts in the mud in a VW based dune buggy, but that makes a muddy mess of the dune buggy so the fun factor is severely limited since I have to clean it up.

Now get off my lawn!

Right get a handful of people to stand far away from any hard obstacles and the mustag will always veer towards the people and away from the hard obstacles.

That's because you're old and you have an understanding of the sweat equity in money. You also don't feel the need to show off or prove yourself.

even just a regular burnout.. it's pointless cause it means your're not accelerating as fast as possible...

CurtEgerer 09-15-2020 11:24 AM

The clockwise donuts are always the hard ones. :cool:

vash 09-15-2020 12:39 PM

what is a roller? the guy posted "rollers and pictures"

porsche tech 09-15-2020 12:51 PM

If it were an Audi owner they would have claimed unintended acceleration.

Zeke 09-15-2020 01:25 PM

I thought that was hilarious. Well deserved.

Hah...I remember that very clearly.
A terrible wrong that Audi had to endure.

you clearly watched the video..right?

wdfifteen 09-15-2020 03:12 PM

I find such displays of conspicuous consumption ridiculous. There isn’t even an element of competition or an exhibit of skill. It’s just burn up tires and fuel until you run into something. Who is this supposed to impress?

Chicks?

Noah930 09-15-2020 06:58 PM

Would have been an even better video if Mustang #1 hit Mustang #2.

Or the light post went down on Mustang # 2...

Shaun @ Tru6 09-16-2020 03:05 PM

I'm not a student of schadenfreude but that was awesome! Always wish the next 2 minutes played too. Would love to see the guy get out of the car and...

fintstone 09-16-2020 03:10 PM

Mustangs just seem to do that on their own...that is why they had to make so many back in 1965. My first one did that too (when I was 17)....but I was going a lot faster.

rattlsnak 09-16-2020 03:21 PM

Glad to see someone out having fun and enjoying their car in a safe way ! (meaning no pedestrians around..!)

Other mustang owners?

stevej37 09-16-2020 03:27 PM

It reminds me of the pick-ups around here 'rolling coal'

911boost 09-16-2020 08:41 PM

There’s a vid of a guy in a 918 doing that too, exponentially more of an expensive mistake.

Gotta be a fake video above. Everybody here knows Porsches never do that...only Mustangs.

svandamme 09-17-2020 09:37 AM

ok, but did you notice, it actually avoided those pedestrians?

Only 11 injured here...what kind of car is this? Couldn't be a Porsche. Must be a new Mustang model.

Mustang lottery winner.

Lottery winner wouldn't go for an entry level car...

FIFY :D






BTW... is this what can happen when one turns the traction control off?

:eek:

So if upgrading to a prancing horse is entry level.. what level is an ordinary running pony at that point? SmileWavy
