and I proudly stake my claim to the first donut of the season:

i join you as soon as mother nature starts taking a dump in the nevadas. most winters it loks like that when i try getting out of the drive way.

 

lol, we got 6 inches here today, just a dusting compared to what i'm used to (houghton, mi, snowed for 36 days straight my freshman year in college). damn do these hate starting and idling in the winter or what?

 

FBs hate the winter....

 

it took me 2 tries to get her up in my driveway

 

Actually, I beat you to it. Only, instead of donuts, I was up in my Subie getting stuck on a friggin MOUNTAIN (yes, I tried going up a very very steep logging road with 6 inches of snow on it, with BALD summer tires on my car).

I did do some donuts in a little valley thing though... RWD (right wheel drive) or LWD is weird with donuts, though. Especially when the inside tires don't get traction (my Subaru has two open diffs, one in front and one in the rear, and a center VLSD).

Nmeh, when I get my 7, I'll post some burnout vids.

 

only got a light dusting here last night and this morning nothing by any means donut material...not like it would matter anyway my 7's not finished yet...praying to god it will be by the end of winter...!!

 

chi san: AWD donuts are somewhat different than the usual rwd donuts, or FWD "nosenuts" as i call them. my buddies van is always fun to play with for that reason (awd previe, "the egg") but still.. donuts in a soobie dont count here

as for burnout vids: ive seen two on the net were they end with a large "pow" and the hood blows open... WTF is that? the girlfriend (and owner) wont let me do a burnout until i can prove that "pow" wont happen to her car.

 

AWD with a lsd center and rear is where the fun is at!

the POW is retarded-powerful-super-high-rev cars ruining their clutch, that is almost impossible to do ona stock car so I wouldnt' worry about it too much.

feel free to join us in the canadian forum as well, eh?

 

My 7 never gets to see snow. Not allowed out to play!

 

Man its 74 degrees here in south TX...no snow for us!!! all sun!!!!

 

i wish i had no snow. do you have any idea how hard it is to try and turbocharge a car in the winter with no garage...yeah, no fun.

 

That is true. Though, my donuts left similar marks to the pics posted above, albiet with the front wheels leaving their marks as well.

FWD does a donut if you put it in reverse and turn the wheel while flooring it.

Well, if you're concerned about damaging your car, then when you do burnouts, don't bounce on the rev limiter. If you get close to it, let off the gas a little, adjust the throttle until your rpm is staying constant. When I have fun in my car, that's usually what I do.
