well i learned alot off stupid stuff like that in high school grew up in the country, off roading is my passion, but im getting into the strip seen, the only way to figure out stupid driving techniques is to go play and see what the car will do, be careful. and it bad for the entire car not just tires, but is fun, can be done while moving if you have the power thats really fun.
