Donuts or Cookies ?

It warmed the car up nicely before the trip home, and in all seriousness, it taught me a lot about how to handle my car in the snow. I could make that boat (a 1980 Bonneville) dance like...well, a boat, spinning around on the snow/ice. But, yeah, spinning cookies!

I learned more about driving by being an idiot with a car than most kids did by taking driver's ed. Of course I also started driving on the farm before my legs were long enough to push in the clutch. If my daughter ever drives the way I did she'll never see the driver's seat again :P

Never had a reason to do doughnuts....... but we practiced 180's (180 degree slide/turns on straight gravel roads ...... essentially reversing the direction of travel without losing engine speed ...... involved a front wheel drive car and using the parking brake to lock the rear wheels...... ...

Really confused what was going on when I started reading this, thought this was originally a slang term for farts... after seeing someone say "spinning" cookies I understood. So that is my vote. I have replaced 6 wheel bearings on my car in 4 years while rarely spinning cookies so I try to avoid doing them despite how fun it is in an empty parking lot with ice. At least when I had to replace the most recent 2 bearings it was easy since they didn't even have time to rust on...

I grew up in northeast Nebraska, bought my own cars, tires, fuel, etc. ... and did both donuts and cookies. There was no distinction between the two.
