3 It's a way to get new tires and show the other half way you need them.
4 Bug season, Give you and extra 10-15 without getting bite.
5 Escape from the law when you have been bad.
6 Shows you can do more damage to your car when the tires blow that others.
7 Nothing like the smell of racing gas and rubber burning in the morning.
8 It's the new dumba$$ sport for the 2016 Olympics.
9 Your need 8 years of school before you can ask this question, (PHD)
10 Last It's another STUPID way to damage a 40+K car, laugh about it and prove you are cool while others call you a dumba$$.:LOL Rick L.
since I have never had the pleasure of doing a burnout in my own car or any car for that matter, I thought I would ask the question, it seems my premise is sound since burnouts decidedly shortens the life span of the tire, whereas what I sense is that burnouts are derivative of an innate male need to create a wow factor in a car that arguably has more power that the average dude needs. In other words if ya got it flaunt it. Sorta follows along the same line of why we 'boys" will rev the car when going thru a tunnel, just to make a noise and feel good. Yep, I do believe I got it, now.

Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man
