Didn't know a 300sdl could spin tires during a U turn

So I made a U turn onto what seemed like ENDLESS incoming traffic, fearing I'd get stuck for eternity I gunned it WHILE I was turning and held it there, and it started sliding. They didn't chirp but where spinning while I was accelerating the entire time for what seemed like 3 to 5 seconds, didn't loose control or crash thank god! Uncomfortable experience overall because all things considered the car was really just on the verge of fishtailing, nothing cool about it whatsoever, now I know the limit of this thing.

No wonder there was always a small voice in my head that told me to gun it AFTER the turn is complete.

Alight guys go ahead and burn me at the stake...

Don't forget to grease the screw and threads on the spring compressor.
