Default Ball cup repair and donuts!

Video for entertainment purposes only

I've been doing some repairs on my 928, my friend made a little video so I figured I'd share.

Ps "Porsche abuse, blah blah blah" will fall upon deaf ears, if you wanna drive your porsche like a grandpa, go for it. I do donuts.

Nothing is more impressive than a single wheel burnout.

Hey I'm fixing the thing so if I want to do a couple donuts that's perfectly alright. If the car wasn't made for that then it wouldn't be so good at it.

Why don't you have Collector or Hobbyist plates?

That car has more problems than the shifter cup. Please go buy a Mustang.

That is not a very nice thing to say Sean, what do you have against Mustangs?

I was thinking more along the lines of a 78 T/A complete with a hood painted gold chicken.

You just insulted the hood chicken, that firebird was the bomb.

I thought they were decals. I always got mine on crooked and covered with glue. Never mattered much cause I started them on fire anyway. The glue burns real nice. Why do you think it smells so good?

You are doing it wrong. Tom cruise did his donuts in reverse.

people who drive mustangs also wear skirts so i'll pass on the mustang. There's a difference between burnouts and donuts but if you look close you'll see that both the wheels are in fact spinning so it's no one wheel wonder. I also wouldn't consider it a "redneck" thing to do, it's more of a fun thing to do.. and from the responses on here you guys should really look into the definition of fun and try to have some.
A lesser driver may stand a chance of breaking things but trust me, this 928 is in good hands. Also the car sat for awhile so I was trying to see how it would hold up to some abuse. she likes it rough anyway
