To be more precise, a stuffed animal on the lower shelf at a penny arcade.

And you know he's on that shelf thinking...

My :2c:  Theses days, it more apparent that owning a sports car has become more affordable.  Especially picking up a used one. 

When one wants the attention by doing a burnout, they must be prepared to respond to the cars unexpected results.  Everyone doesn't have the reaction ability to recover from it.   

Ask Critter as he did a doughnut during a autocross :lol:

That was only a 90 degree power slide and I stayed on the course.  None of you were at Cumberland so you don't know what happened there, only rumors and inuendoes.

As I said 90 degrees and I stayed on course  :rofl:  camera should have been on the drivers side so you could see how close I was to that cone.  I think I have another video that starts at the slide, I will look when I get home.

But for all you young kids out there, you can see just how quick the car comes around.  Please don't try this on the streets at home.

Like we can do that on the "streets" around here!  Although I might try tonight!  I'm thinking I need to run up to Starved Rock after work!

If you have never done it, find an empty parking lot. 
Even with no cops and no people on the street, a mess up can get expensive fast.

I'm relearning my car completely now.  The new Turbo and suspension have changed things a decent amount.

It's WAAAAAAAY easier for me to spin the rear tires now and in more gears.

Critter didn't you spin at one of the CDC events in Bowie? I remember Treeman spinning out, I know I'm not getting you two mixed up.

Come on Suzy-dictionary... You can do better than that.

Her name isn't Suzy, Sue, or Susan GJ,  it's damn I've gone blank and can't remember her name.  Suzy it will have to be until I can remember or some one tells us.  I want to say Karen, but I am confused.  So sad to get old.  Diana or Di.

I was making fun of our flat and straight roads here in the Cornfields of Hellinois as SA affectionately refers to our state of corruption!  ;)

But yeah...back in the days of my youth when I was young and stupid with my camaro...I was known to find an empty icy parking lot and see how many times I could spin the car around.  Never have done it without ice though and not in the Sol.  Other than sliding it thru one or 2 certain hill climbs in Ohio, which I highly recommend!

I dont think that gto was a driver error. It just wanted to put itself out of its misery because of how ugly it was.
