Default Donuts in rain?
Woke up this morning n saw that it was raining. Got the urge to do some donuts. Felt good but does it mess up my rear end?

Shouldn't hurt anything other than tire wear! Just don't slide into anything!

I can't help but let the rear slide in the rain a little when the roads are empty. Nothing like a 3 mph power slide! LMFAO!

Thats a breeze on the rear end with slick payment. I spin my tires and make the *** kick out every chance I get when the roads are slick and there is no one around.

If you manage to break something doing donuts, especially in the rain, either you're doing something horribly wrong, or it was going to break anyways.
