Talking Is this bad for the car?

Yesterday was the first major rain since like the beginning of spring, so me and and some freinds decided to head out and have some fun while the roads were still wet. We would an empty parking lot and started messing around. I did some fishtails and what not, I kept the RPM's low, below 5k. Besides the tires, does this hurt the car? Thanks

i would say as long as the rpm's dont get too high and the motor temp stays low its ok

btw: look out for curbs and light polls lol

Generally...

High RPM's and low load demand= bad
Low RPM's and high load demands= bad

Play nice!

Once or twice probably won't hurt........but don't do this everyday!

Oh...and be careful not to run out of blinker fluid....fishtailing or 'drifting' tends to draw the fluid from the front of the car and pool it all into the rear.
