2 questions...
 
OK first one how do i know what model bonne do i have? cause when i bought it (used) there are no badges at all on it...... i know its not S/C though... but it does have the fog lights... which would make it an SE?

second how do you do a front wheel drive burnout never done one b4.... dont laugh but i have only owned 2 front wheel drive cars total this being the second and the first bein a ford tempo....

are the foglights in the middle of the bumper or they low and at the corners of the car. Also what year is it?

burnouts are not recommended(trans will hate you).......but hit the gas press on the parknig brake at the same time and hold on the gas

It sounds like you have an SSE.

Its not as bad to do a burn-out if you DONT use the brakes. That puts incredible stress on the trans components, such as gears, differential, and torque converter, and a mess of other fun stuff! Also, you could pop a CV Joint. Those cost a few dollars and aren't friendly when they break. Chances are you'll blow something else up in the process of blowing a CV. Take it from someone who had that experience (while leaving the shop that had just replaced my CV joint)

Also, stay AWAY from one wheel / turning corner burnouts. That will blow your diff real fast.

If you want to do a burnout, try using the Parking Brake and do it on something you think both tires will slip easily.
