it is extremely hard for me to make out damage in that vid, but if it is the driverside bumper that is hilarious... because yesterday i slid into someone with the beater and busted my bumper in the same spot
 First time i've ever hit someone, really sucked. I don't know what that C#@$ was that fell yesterday morning, but it wasn't snow The ABS kicked instantly evey time i hovered over the brake pedal  I ended up engine braking the rest of the day

Looked like fun. How many rpm were you turning, sounded like about 35-4500.
I had a good chuckle at the end, when you did another 3/4 turn at idle.

higher... I hit about 4500 a couple times. It actually was not a lot of fun. If I had stock wheels with snow tires on then it would have been fun because I could have had more control and actually could have gone faster than 8mph

You remember the old Pirelli ads, "Power is nothing without control". I'd have actually had more fun with that much traction. No worries about getting up too much speed to stop before your close encounter with a tree.
On the road though...I never did like ice skating on the street!
