I watched some Southern baws with a big arse pickup truck (may have been a dualie) trying, poorly, to do donuts in the lot across from our place last night. They proceeded to get stuck for at least as long as I was outside watching/laughing.

I did not render assistance to them, though I did assist a girl while out for a run who couldn't get out of the park over the bank of snow from the plow. I told her I grew up in Wisconsin so I knew what to do, she said "I'm from California, I have no clue what I'm doing"

In some states you'll get a ticket for that. It's terrible for the roads.

I went and did donuts in a parking lot too. Mostly to lose control and see how to regain it. Also to know exactly how much throtyle would make me break loose.
Sort of want to take the e93 out in the ice today and spin it around.

A good lesson to learn that kinda goes against your instincts is that if the brakes are locked up you can't steer. So for instance, if you're about to slide into the back of someone it can often be better to let off the brakes and steer to the left or right of them.
