I learned my lesson in this years ago in my Mach 1 when the crowd of fellow miscreants at the McDonald’s yelled at me to “Light ‘em up!!!”
Which of course I did to great applause.
Then the blue lights came on from the officer who had been sitting back in the dark waiting for some idiot like me to do that. I received an on-the-spot inspection that cost about $850 (about 7 months of savings back then) all told, starting with “hmmm, tread bars showing on both rear tires...
I sold that car to a kid who had no idea what a Detroit Locker does when you try to do a burnout while turning, and he wrecked it 3 hours later into oncoming traffic “lighting ‘em up” coming out of a gas station to impress his friends.
All done with gratuitous burnouts. Just breaks stuff, destroys tires, causes wrecks, and other trouble. I decided that for me at least it is not worth the trouble just so I could look juvenile in front of a bunch of people who won’t be buying me tires, visiting me in the hospital, or defending me in court.
