First of all, doing burn outs isnt that good for your transmission or your bearings that could have an effect. Also, hard turns can damage them as well. If you do bootlegger U-turns, your just asking for it. But dammit!!! They are fun! :steering:

Don't I know it, I had to replace my rear bearings after a couple donuts in a parking lot.

We all are enjoying a well built vehicle, don't worry about couple of donuts despite the feeling that the car is being abused it can actually handle plenty more because its power train is so overrated. Simply you can not put 200k on a Lamborghini.
The only thing that might suffer is the tires; bearings are the strong point in the transmission.
