where i come from it is illegal, i got a ticket for doing that in a parking lot and i just took it to court and fought it, i have a fwd car (car i was in at the time) andyou cant do donuts with it! (little do they know i was in reverse) so if your state is anything like mine, you get a 4point ticket, $145 fine, and maybe suspended liscense. if all else fails tell the cop you lost controll and that your tires are bad, works everytime!

well if the parking lot has no cars in it, tell him you didnt know it was illegal, and that there is no cars here so whats the problem, as long as your not tearin stuff up you should be fine lol, i mean it should be okay, its just haveing some fun. whats the worst that could happen?

If a cop comes just say its a new car and you havent driven it in the winter yet, so you want to test its capabilites. In an empty parking instead of a jam packed road.
Got me out of a ticket
He just said hurry up and be careful.

Yea I wouldn't do anything like that close to the city were there is alot of cops. I go out of the city a little bit to the dirt or old parking lot!!!

Yeah I do most of that up in the UP where I have been sideways on a roadway and the cop just waved and smilied. Otherwise in a populated area it would be illegal. I would try the new car excuse, it worked when my school's cops showed up. They just said move it to a non campus parking lot. At least where I am at they prefer that you don't do it in sight of other people and that you be safe about it and don't just do stupid stuff.
