I get the option of a Ford Focus and a Toyota Corolla, while I am getting the Ponitiac fixed...



I want the Yota becasue I hate Ford! But if I get the Focus I can rag it the hell out. I always wanted to throw an automatic into reverse at 35 MPH. Or try that FWD dorifto thingie with the plastic cafeteria trays https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



I am open to suggestions on which car to take and how to rag it out... Isn't that what rentals are for?

There's always the ever-popular "rev high in neutral then drop into drive." I've never done this one, but I've heard rave reviews.



I haven't yet explored the posibilities, but the other day I realized that e-brake is on rear, and power comes from front wheels on my wife's car. That's got to yield some kind of fun. Can we say burnouts?

these new rental cars dont take well to the neutral drops, twice I have

had one and when I went to do it the engine rpms drop down then it

goes into gear, must be something programmed in the computer.



You want something fun though- try doing donuts in reverse,

cut the wheel in one direction, then let it rip.

Make sure you are in a wide open area.

yeah new car dont let you have ANY fun.



my friend was holding the brake and the gas in reverse on a ford craptour, and he put it in neutral and then back into reverse and an axle snapped

the reverse donuts work well with the parking brake set

like a crown vic, or a town car?

UniqueTII 01-12-2004 11:17 AM

Town Car! I rented one on Saturday, but I didn't beat on it too much. I did play with a GTU on the highway, though. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I have been upgraded!



I get a Toyota Camry, Ford Tortoise, Chevy Impala or a Pontiac Grand Prix...



Rock on Beavis! These are better options than Ford Fukus and Toyota RoColla.
