A quick 'how to' video for those of you that have run out of cute cat videos and Russian dashcam winter car crash clips but are hell bent on scouring the edges of the earth for useless content.

Now obviously, I can't speak for every car out there. Your '77 Datsun F-10 Sportwagon may differ slightly but most BMWs are similar. Don't bother wasting time trying to figure out how your turn signals function; they're just there to meet DOT requirements. The real star of the show is the "BMW Button" (as it's called in my BMW E36 when I want my tail end to get loose. Not by visiting Taco Bell for lunch) or the Traction Control/DSC button.

Find that traction control button... Press it and HOLD it down for several seconds... When the iDrive changes its display and the dash lights up saying the DSC is off, you are good. Spin to your heart's delight.

*VERY IMPORTANT*
After you are done goofing off, push that traction control button and TURN THE DSC BACK ON!

God knows I don't want to be somehow seen as responsible because you have a brain fart and don't have the common sense to configure your car properly. Also, potential damage to your car? Yeah that's on you. Check the parking lot or wherever you do slidey-shit at and make sure there are no hidden hazards, like parking stops, speed bumps, tremor worms, whatever.

Have fun, don't break anything, don't hit anyone and for the love of everything holy, try to avoid being sucked into the core of the earth because you open some bizarre portal to hell.
