Gentlemen, why the static?
This is a thread about being a jerk in your car.
At the end of my Camaro donuts story, I pulled into a spot and the parks police pulled up behind me. They came to the car, asked what the hell I was doing. I looked at them, threw my hands up and told them I was being a jerk, trying to impress my friends. I didn't even get a fine for wreckless driving in a federal park.
It is important to remember however, that you don't want to be like a mustang owner leaving a cars and coffee. Those guys are always taking out pedestrians. Don't kill anyone while driving like a jerk. That way the only thing you should worry about is the internet yelling at you on a message board.

You are right on. Doing donuts might be fun, but it is dangerous, I have a dear friend who lost her son due to a misadventure doing donuts in a Target Parking lot. also, I am a critical car doc who works in a major trauma center. I get to see the disasters that can happen when something goes wrong. Be safe!!!!

Do you work on European cars only, or domestic as well?

W212 E-Class with the non-AMG 45:55% 4matic. ESP off or dyno mode and then SMOOOOOOTH driving or one will have excessive understeer, at least with the heavy V8 up front!
