And unfortunately is not unusual for kids with fast cars to do it in any neighbourhood.


But a few strategically place boulders seems to have a nice effect of smashing the underneath of the cars. Amazing what a few daff's can hide.

Open planned gardening is just to tempting for them. PS if you catch them you can get charge just for damaging the car.

Whacked out world.

Actually, learning how to do a doughnut in the snow is a really good way to learn how to drive better in snowy conditions. Kind of like, purposefully trying to create what you fear might happen so you know how to deal with it or not let it happen to begin with. Plus, doing doughnuts in the snow is a lot of fun .
