A truck sits partially broken through the ice south of the Cedar Point Chausee. Police and Fire Departments were notified of the abandoned truck about 5 p.m. The owner of the abandoned vehicle later found at a residence at the 100 block of Lane D. Police say the owner and a friend had apparently been joyriding and “doing donuts” on the ice in the shallow part of Sandusky Bay. Police said the men had been drinking. The case was forwarded to the prosecutor’s office to determine whether the men will be charged.
The picture tells the story!
Posted by: Mary Miller on February 10, 2003 05:53 PMAt work last week, we were talking about the practice of causing a car to spin on a slick surface and the names with which it was called.
Of course there was the popular "doing donuts" and the lesser "doing cheerios." A younger coworker offered "whippin' shitties" which I vaguely remember hearing years ago. Someone else had "doing cookies," which I had never heard. Best we could figure, "cookies" described an unintentional spin, whereas the other three were for when you cranked the wheel around on purpose.
Ah, regionalisms! : )
