Dipshit... EVERYONE knows the only way to do donuts in a front wheel drive car is to go in reverse.

Could you do it using the parking brake pedal? Seems really risky.

haha double agree!. Use to power slide a 94 lesabre in the snow back in college when the parking lots where empty, had to pull the anti-lock brake fuse and then working the ebrake pedel and gas you could get some nice 360's out of it, and of course the good ole reverse donunt, haha... good memories, lol

the Mc D trays can go even longer with out wearing out to your tires if you epoxy a piece of wood or metal to it so that the tire isnt putting the pressure in just one small spot. (dont ask me how i know that)

A good time IS the purpose

Why else would you have a TL?

done it in every rental i've ever had, and the forward in grass playing with the e-brake is more fun....

and kris is right....the last time i did tray sliding, the damn thing would break after about two turns....but i think i'm the first to take a TSx offroading and tray sliding.....

I know having fun but with a fwd car, that is what questioned me. Usually people who do donuts with a rwd/awd car. I have seen some fwd car do donuts but were highly modified that is burning rubber. But of course having fun is number one reason.

You can have some fun it the TL, but what he was doing just looked like a waste of time.

I remember that kid now, I didn't catch the sticker in the vid, I was too focused on the bad donuts. Fat chance of him speaking up now with people calling him a dipshit and all.

I used to "burn rubber" with a $350 Pontiac Catalina back in the day.... Nowhere near "highly modified."

Ahhhh, the good old days!

A car cost a few hundred bucks and there was a pile of tires behind the shop to choose from... Left foot on the brake and right foot on the gas, ripped body panels and wheel weels apart... A little Great Stuff and the trunk was sealed again.

What is the purpose of doing it in a RWD car?? Its to spin around and make smoke. You cant do that in a FWD normally! This is in essence a FWD donut. You can have lots of smoke and do much much better spins than that tray sliding. Turn TCS off and put your foot into it. You will leave tons of smoke and that thing will whip around.
