At 5MPH, I imagine if the rear end breaks loose, it won't take much at all for the front to also break loose

Yeah grip surfaces can vary widely, and you found a really slick one. Street surfaces can vary a lot too, so it's good to watch out for changes and feel them out carefully if you're driving aggressively. My most recent example was a roadtrip from Houston to San Antonio for the weekend. Compared to Houston (and the highways between), the street surfaces in SA (at least around the riverwalk/mall/zoo/etc area where I was) were very, very slick. I had to be a lot more careful on the throttle when zipping around SA. Something about the type of asphalt they use, it's like it has tons of tar, which has boiled up onto the surface and then hardened into a solid slick black layer from the sun and traffic over time.

there is no sun light. its completely underground so sun cant get to it.

there is no dust down there at all. the parking lot is supper shiny and its not moist at all. its completely dry.

ill see if tru_Asiatik wants to come with me to the lot and we will probably make few videos. if he doesnt then ill just go with my friend.

thnx bro but i dont think much can happen at 5mph. i mean the car just slides even if you just turn your wheel to the left or right.

its not really a safe environment tho lol there are so many poles but as long as your careful i think you should be ok

the speed bumps are the worse

no sprinkles but its supper shiny. its so weird because its the only parking lot that i have been inside that does this.

Its just higly polished concrete..... completely common and normal (well around here at least).

im not joking lol it starts to slide even if you take a turn lets say at 5mph. i think i was doing maybe 10 but not more then that for sure.
