Default Learned a lesson today

So my friends ask me if I can do burnout. I was like hmmmm, I don't think so but I'll try. Anyways I floor it with brake pedal and smoked the tires for 2 seconds and cloud of smoke erupts. I get out and there's rubber all over the back and although the tread wasn't really affected they are deformed now, plus I left a small pile of rubber.... Never again. I didn't think it did that much damage that quickly.

brakes, tires, transmission just to name a few bad things from powerbraking that and it really don't show how much power you have just about any rwd with brakes and a gas pedal can do one case in point samurai burnout

haha lol I haven't managed to kill a set of tires like that yet, but I only do light burnouts every couple of months or so, when someone uses the phrase "That's not a six cylinder? What a piece of junk."

And that's probably a lot better than the first time I did it, which was a neutral drop from 3k... Come to think of it, I would up replacing a driveshaft U-joint not too long after that at all.
