oh yea lol. Ive pulled a good 40-45ft burnout....well that was before the dounuts. When I got the car the tires were bald...so i got tire vouchers (the dealership ownes everything) and so I got to spend a week with bald tires. So I used them for all they were worth. I wish I had it on tape. It was beautiful, the burnout lasted for a good minute. Scared the civic *** half to death. Ph33r the stock SE.

yea, well the funnest part though about my job was that i knew so much more than the customers. Its just that they all thought they were experts. So sometimes I would have to teach them humility so to speak. Thats only when they **** me off. Oh yea just to let al of you know who get your computer repaired at stores. YES WE DO LOOK AT SOME OF YOUR FILES!! We know what kind of **** you watch, what movies you've pirated, and what music you listen to. And don't expect us to not do that, 9 times out of 10 the problem is with one of those files. Just thought I'd let you all know. ph33r t|-|4 G33|<5!!

I laid a nice long patch of about 60 ft. I just revved, and dumped it at 3 or 4 k. It held it so long bcuz of my continental tires that are on the wear bar.

It gives you more respect for the car because its your money in it, its not someone elses. Besides I think at 19 you can get a job and pay for your car stuff.

Damn right my good man.

I am 19 and am on my second car, had a neon, by my hand and noy I dish my dough to my lovely FC.
All of it... come to think of it I skimped on food last week just so I could get my car fixed... Go Rotary!

lol

no, seriously, respect the Rotor. =) and love thy car, if ur parents wanna pay fine, but a job&TLC never hurt an FC =P


oh yeah and my longest burnout wasin my Neon, 20+ft, (lol if front tire burout = close windows... *cough cough* )
in my FC I think I did like 10 ft ( didn't go back to check it out) in 2nd gear..... just going down the road and got passes like hell.... so I kicked it into second and reved to 4k... droped the clutch and kicked the SLK in da butt =)

Hell get a job you hate. Eventually you will start making so much money that you cant afford to take an entry level job doing anything else. Then you can go home and yell at your wife and kids everynight becuz your miserable. Then with any luck you will die young due to the stress at your job. Good luck on the job hunt.

I laid down a good 20 ft right in front of my driveway. I didn't plan on it but I'd just replaced the alternator with a silverrotor special & had been drivin' like a grandma for a week. It never ceases to amaze me how my open diff lays perfectly even marks. I wasn't even all the way on it, no brake stand.. '88SE/NA. I had never really done it B4 either... the urge just hit me & it laid down the rubber!!
