wet tires for even more smoke; it sounds like he really wants some smoke.

I had a similar experience in my GS3. I was about 20 feet or so from an intersection and I started doing a burnout to showoff for my cousin one late night. The ground was wet and I start doing my burnout, I let the brake go and let the tires keep spinning. I had to make a turn at the intersection, so as I started to make the turn I still had my tires spinning and damn near lost control of the car and ended up face to face with the driver's door of this mercedes. I was perpendicular to the street. All I was say was OMG, OMG, OMG, then when it was over I just started laughing and went on my merry way.

No way if I would have tried anything else but stopping the car I would have smacked into a parked car.

While we're on the subject of burnouts...is this a bit excessive?

i just don't understand why you guys enjoy these dangerous things.
little things can lead to huge mishaps.
have fun but be careful.
no amount of fun is worth ending up in a wooden box six feet under.
call me the worried grandpa.
