A wheel stand in which the tires are spinning. How's that for destroying the laws of physics?

Not on 18's and not in a heavy car like a Supra, but it is possible, esp. with wheelie bars.

Heck all you have to do is look up pictures of 60's era slingshots. Usually they spun their tires for the first 1/8mi no matter what as well as lifting the front wheels.

The Worst

The worst thing is that ignorant people think the the whole movie is true. My insurance company tried to deny my insurance claim when my car was stolen, because it had NITROUS. The appraiser saw my emergency bottle of OCTANE BOOST from NOS and told the adjuster to deny the claim because I must be racing. He took pictures of the bottle even. What an idiot!
