"Dad, whats a 'donut' in a car?"

Why make the kid suffer through a boring verbal description?

I remember showing my family. They all screamed, some in fun and others in fear.

We did a few in the PetSmart parking lot in my MazdaSpeed3 yesterday. Neither my wife or daughter were impressed...

Years and years ago, with the family sedan (1979 Pontiac LeMans), I got pretty decent doing donuts -- could whip the car around in the length of two cars parked nose to tail. How do I know that? Well, my dad was a minister, and our backyard was basically the church parking lot. Around back of the fellowship hall was where I'd go to turn the car around to bring it into the garage, which is where I'd whip the car around. Distance from the fence to the building? Two cars parked nose to tail.

Of course, after parking the car in the garage, I'd go back and disguise my tracks.

That was also where I learned about the power of neutral drops. Shortly after gaining an understanding of this technique, the LeMans had to be serviced for a bad transmission. I still don't see the correlation.
