It sounds just like Elvis but that is not who is singing. Hence the question. I may rep you the answer later. GaleForce gets one for Get out of the way I do not care if you pass me, but then go, do not slow me down.

I put the camera back today but fog, then road constrution limited my fun.

Bonus question for rep point. Who am I listening to (after road construction)?

370Z Testing Out The New Michelins - YouTube
Conway Twitty?

Edit* Was it Perry Como? I just saw that he covered that song...

I'm considering doing this, though I have a feeling its going to go about the same: 3-4 failures then give up. Maybe I'll just wind up doing some donuts in the parking lot Btw... I was hoping for video of you doing this. Remember that for when the tread gets low on the PSS's

With winter coming up the car will get stored, and it has been slow at work... almost done for now, just a few more things before winter!

Even brand new and pouring rain these tires hooked up really well, I am excited for some dry roads

I did tape my hooliganism but even I think it wrong to post.
I did not exactly fail I do not get the joy most others do from staying stationary and smoking tires.

It is the stock steering wheel. Still no one has figured out the singer. I knew who I was listening to and I thought it was Elvis as well. I will rep everyone the answer so you win just by playing, as long as my reps hold out.

Driving home today was a stark contrast from yesterday. Just another car in a string.

I think I would definitely have more fun setting up some cones to figure 8 around or something similar

I did this last night after work...except I was using light poles at either end of the abandoned parking lot as apexes....getting a feel for what kind of feedback this car gives at varying levels of grip....and then doing some big slides just for fun.
