Actually, my father took us out so we could do those things.
My father didn't, but I did that for my daughter and I did it for
myself, starting in parking lots. When roads are snow covered I
regularly do test skids and acceleration tests when no other cars are in
sight and I'm not likely to do damage if I do go out of control. I do
the same on wet roads too. I was surprised how easy I could make the
back of a front wheel drive the car slide as I turned faster/sharper
than normal.
Have you practiced getting a family of four out of the car while it is
upside down in a deep river? You really should!
If you are not prepared for dealing with that, you are stupid. Just
ask Harry K., DerbyDad, or DPD.
****, no I didn't. After the practice runs over the active volcanoes I
needed new tires and never finished the underwater part of the course. :-/- Hide quoted text -

now!


No problem, it's just like on Buggs Bunny! Air Brakes!
