Donuts. lol - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Wally86 · 04-29-2020, 12:15 PM

I'm new here. Both to these forums and the RWD platform.

Driving home last night, I saw a big empty parking lot and couldn't resist...

I turned off traction control and went ham for exactly one 360* donut. I didn't want to attract any attention as the lot is across from a neighborhood.

1200 miles.

18 days.

Finally did a donut.

How long did it take you to do a donut from the time you bought your car?

I did one.
It was not on purpose but due to black ice.
I am not 16 so get no joy out of spinning my car in a circle.

as soon as i bought my car new i went to the donut shop to celebrate. i did a glazed first and then a nice maple bar. the dealership is about 20 mins away from my favorite donut place so from the time i signed off on everything to purchase the car until the time i purchased those two donuts..... about 20-30 mins?

Boy; do I feel bad, had the car for more than six years and have not done one yet. Also old and no joy.
Do like to go to the track.

Sapphireho · 04-29-2020, 01:19 PM

5 years, no donuts.

RToyo86 · 04-29-2020, 01:20 PM

On dry pavement, never.

On snow I have a difficult time keeping the tail straight.

Dadhawk · 04-29-2020, 01:23 PM

Haven't done any in this Scion but always thought one like this in an iQ would be fun.

I'm 38 and still get joy out of farting so I'm not sure why spinning the car made me giggle so much lol.

Spinning out on black ice sounds like a horrible time. I'm assuming everyone around here recommends winter tires for DDing the 86?

I pay for my tires and drivetrain components. Don't like to abuse them for no reason. Performance tires are expensive. I get more of a kick out of sticking to the road.

Dang. i guess I'll change the little marque under my name. I'm ancient on the old civic forums. I can't imagine what most of these 86 guys would be

Kind of crazy, the percentage of owners over 45. Wow.
