So on the way out of a bowling alley i was following my friend (with a 1991 Bonneville) and he gunned it, chirped the tires and sped away (he has almost 50% tires) i have about 90% tires and to, uhh... show him up, i didnt even floor it and on dry, level/downhill pavement i have 2 (yes TWO) 30' light skidmarks. (theyre 75,000 mile rated tires i dont hink ill ever get a dark one) There were some punks trying to show up my other frined who reved his 4cyl engine (they had a caddy with big hole in muffler) so then i did that and theyre (all 10 of um) jaws dropped and gave me a bit thumbs up as i smoked by.

PS. that was fun but stupid, harmful and wastefull.. ill never do that again, well for a month or two anyway...(i didnt even let my engine warm up *smacks self on wrist** i was playing sandstorm by DaRude adn it just makes you wanna do that... and drive really fast...

my friend came back to me today (the one with the bonneville) and the first thing he said to me was, "last night... what you did... THAT WAS F***ING SWEET!!" My other friend who was sitting at a light about 300' away (he left earlier than us) said "Did you see the guy peeling out last night? I could hear him from where i was and it sounded like it was coming from where you guys wer-- ... wait, that wasnt YOU was it!?" i just innocently smiled. AND yet another eye witness account was from the my friend that we met up with later that was parked by the jerks and she said "That was so hilarious, the guy that had been in his caddy jumped out and his expression was PRICELESS! But next time Brandon, please be a little more careful woulda ya, for me?" Then she smiled and said, "Ok next time i riding with you, Sam cant do that" (CHA CHING)

Ha Ha Ha.... I know what you mean.... My 91 bonneville wears out tires quick... I think it has to do with the low end torque of these engines... Gotta love it..
You guys use tires? I had to go to metal discs...
