My favorite thing to do when it snowed and was an empty parking lot, generally before school, was to just floor the truck, cut the wheel, and park wherever it stopped spinning.

I actually learned how to slide a car like that. My older brother would drive us out there to the parking lot (I was 13) and spin like hell.
Now this is a dangerous trick

I take every car I drive out onto a snowy parking lot to find out how they react to emergency situations.. Done that since I was.. very young.

A friend and I did this after he got his 96 V6 Firechicken. He'd never driven a RWD car before, let alone in snow.
We got pulled over for sliding it around in an empty parking lot. If I remember correctly, the cops tagged him for careless driving or some shit. Roseville, MI cops are
dicks

Wow.. Cops around here are actually pretty nice. I've been pulled over twice for stuff that probably should have given me a ticket, but once I explained what happened (both very weird situations) I got away with warnings.

Ahhhhhhh! I remember when that car 1st came out. I think when car and driver (or somebody) came to test it the thing broke twice. One time was the trans. I believe it might have been the first car to have heads up display.

It had the same kind of CRT displays that high performance aircraft had.
The company owner had some kind of fascination with aircraft. I think the proper name for the company was Vector Aeromotive.

Was talking to my buddy about his Talon (he's looking for a 6 speed rear) and he sent me the vid of what his car did in September since we haven't talked in awhile.
