I watched a mischief video and seen this blue bugeye doing dohnuts in the snow. I probably had 6-7,000 miles on my car. It snowed one evening and I decieded to do this with my 04. So I just popped it in first and smashed the gas letting it redline. I would watch the needle bounce back and forth at 7k while being dizzy from going in circles. I did this a few more times during the snow season. Never have I had a problem with my car, but I strongly don't recommend my course of actions. These cars are so fun and my innerchild gets the best of me.
