For front wheel drive, pop the clutch in 1st or 2nd gear while the hand
brake is on then release the hand brake.

Yes, it damages up your car.

1) Press clutch to floor
2) Rev engine to 4,000rpm and hold it there
3) Dump the clutch by lifting your foot very quickly
4) Floor gas immediately
5) Watch tach to make sure you don't over-rev.

Eventually you learn to squeal the tires anytime you want once you get the
hang of the clutch.

It's a good way to wreck your clutch plate, tranny bearings, engine
bearings, and all sorts of other expensive parts.

Also marks you as a kid, one who likes wrecking his car in order to show
off.

And hang on tight to the steering wheel. It will try to snake all over the
place.

If a car has lots of power (eg Porsche 911 Turbo S cabriolet --cost $147,435)
you would not need to use the hand brake to burn rubber. While in high
school, I took a ride with a friend that had a 8 cyld. Ford that had a 4
barrel carb.
He was able to burn rubber without making use of the hand brake.

There are 3 ways =):
1. what everyone else suggested
2. while car is in motion, slam on the brakes as hard as you can
3. douse tires with gasoline, then throw a lit match on tires

I'm supposed to be impressed because the car is overpriced. Bald, pot-
bellied white men with hairy chests and gold chains buy that kind of car.



> you would not need to use the hand brake to burn rubber.



And you know this...how? You've driven the vehicle in question?


You don't need to use the handbrake to burn rubber in ANY car. I used to be
able to burn rubber in my '75 Corolla with seventy-five horsepower. But
then I was 19 and stupid. Sneering disregard for the mechanical integrity
of your car is all that's necessary.


> While in high school,



You're not far out of high school, are you?

I learned to drive in a 1970 Ford with a 4bbl carb. Couldn't burn rubber in
that without doing a brake stand. But then it had bias-ply tires and an
automatic tranny. And I was 16 and stupid. Good thing my mother never found
out.

the dope-smoking loser that lives across the street from my mom is on
his 3rd car from driving that way. the first 2 (dodge shadow and buick
roadmaster) were towed away with fragged trannies. now hes working on
ruining a late 80s t-bird. i dont think he has ever worked, either. the
'rents probably buy him beaters to get him out of the house.

he also ruined his tweaker girlfriends brand new jetta (bought by her
parents, no doubt) driving that way... smoky burnouts down the street,
doing "automatic drops".

he ended up having a friend steal the car, strip it and burn it so shed
get a new one. he knew the warranty wouldnt cover the damage he did.

My gosh, one could get an automotive education just
regularly looking out the window of your mother's place.

My old (looked like Kruchev) family mechanic often remarked that
parents should have the obligation of drowning their newborn offspring
should they be convinced that they were a "bad seed."

Obviously, this practice is being ignored!
