I just did my first squeeling around the corner burnout thingy!

Coming to work today I decided to coast around a corner, drop the clutch mid-way and just burnout until I start going straight again. I've done plenty of burnouts with this car (redfire GT coupe), but I have never had the ***** to just let it rip around a corner. SO MUCH FUN!

My next ambition is the infamous "donut" and then I'm on to drifting. I need to find a parking lot with no light poles. They make me nervous.

And for the record, this is my first manual car... and my last car was a VW golf. So cut me a little brake... cause that stuff is intimidating. Especially when I'm paying $520 a month!

don't know if you had any other rwd vehicles in the past, but that's why rwd rules! if not, welcome to the world of rwd. gotta be careful in the wet, though. once went sideways at a stop light just lightly stepping on the gas in my old 5.0. :shock: i also wanted to try the car out in a large lot without light poles just to "evaluate" how the car handled. never did. drifting is pretty hard on the suspension and drivetrain - sure you want to do that on a new car? especially with those monthly payments you're making...
