What's cooler? Donuts in a motherfucking full-size school bus.

I talked my bus driver in high school into doing one when the parking lot was empty and we were waiting on one kid who had some sort of delay or something. Just the one, and it was a snowy lot. But yeah, donut in a school bus.

They should use these people to model the limo handbrake in the next GTA.

Interesting, but I've had a 28 passenger bus, an E-350 conversion, on mud, with passengers. Only about 12 passenger, though.

They were rather happy once we emerged from the field where the parking was for a high-end wine-tasitng event, or something like that, and they weren't wading through mud in high-heels nice clothes.

A majority of the other vehicles, primarily limosines, were mired hopelessly.

Once the bouncing and sliding was over, I think mud fell out of that vehicle's undercarraige for years.

My own mantra is, in foul traction conditions, exit speed is a directly correlated to entry speed, A.K.A., the Bradley method.

@SundaySunday:
I saw that tape years ago and would really like to see that again.... It was freaking amazing seeing those Series 75's raising wheels in reverse J turns!

It's the owner, driver and builder of this porsche 911 turbo=

"He is known as Qvarnis" And that car is officially set a record for the worlds fastest road leagal car. Around 1000HP depending on turbo boost.

Um, despite the short sleave shirts and no sign of snow, I would venture to say that there may have been some ice involved. If not, there is no way I'm getting into a limo if it is raining out! That track looked way to slick for just water.

That is an amazing bit of hoonery, considering the vehicle. Wonder how queasy people in the back would get? That's some serious sliding.

And I bet that with the crappy 239hp 4.6L 2V V8, it would be *impossible* to drift if it wasn't on a wet surface.

I've now found my wedding limo. I wonder if they are for hire in the US.

@Spasticteapot: Add Max Mosley to get even closer to an 'ass' engined Nazi slot car.

Okay, so it can't drift. But it can almost imitate a handbrake 180...

They said it's like "Drifting a porsche". This must be a result of poor weight distribution.

I volunteer as a passenger to help correct it.

Clearly what's needed here is a tremec T-56, and a helical LSD... also, it's a limo.

A friend in high school had access to a HUGE Buick wagon. It would pin you against the tailgate when doing donuts so you couldn't move, just sit there and laugh.

Not bad. Unfortunately, I'm spoiled, having seen clips of Secret Service trainees performing reverse J-turns in stretched Caddies in the dry. If any You Tube super-sleuths can find those clips, they are much awesomeness.
