I've never really had a car to do donuts in before. I had a WRX that was more than powerful enough, but with it's AWD I couldn't get it to break loose. I frankly was surprised that I could do it in an AWD 996. With my lack of experience I didn't know the tires would chunk so bad (I did more than what's in the video), but tires are replaceable.... it's not a big deal.

Kirk, you must be doing well in this crappy recession to burn a grand's worth of rubber away just for fun!

I'm glad someone's making some money right now. It sure ain't me! :ah:
