Usually shouted at owners of rear wheel drive cars, “Does she go round?” “Does she hoop?” “Can you diff her?” “Can you do doughnuts in your car?” A doughnut or donut is a maneuver performed while driving a vehicle. Performing this maneuver entails rotating the rear or front of the vehicle around the opposite set of wheels in a continuous motion, creating (ideally) a circular skid-mark pattern of rubber on a roadway and possibly even cause the tires to emit smoke from friction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doughnut_(driving) |
