Find a large, empty parking lot with no obstructions (no cars, light poles, shopping carts, etc) and just play around with my S2k and see what I can do with it, like take sharp turns and yank on the e-brake and etc and just see what I can make the car do and learn a little about what it can do?

If I did this, should I worry about rolling the s2k? Could I get in a situation where I take a turn in a parking lot too fast and roll it, or would the back end just slide out? Is it possible to jerk the wheel and have the car roll?

 

Yes it is a great idea. The car will slide and is not prone to rolling over unless it is "tripped", for example sliding sideways at a high rate of speed and hitting a curb or other fixed object.

 

skateboarders. Watch out.

that sounds like a great idea to me.

Curious though... anyone know the legal ramifications? In other words, can a cop ticket you for reckless driving, et al if you are in a deserted parking lot?

 

Just make sure you don't do it in a parking lot owned by the Federal Government. Don't ask me why I bring this up...

 

If it's private property and the owner allows it, you're pretty safe. Otherwise, you can get in a lot of trouble.

 

Of course you could also autocross it...

 

This sounds like something I will have to try very hard to resist doing myself. Be carefull but enjoy...

 

Not a bad idea...just watch out for the cops...

Better idea:

Autocross with it!
