I have never and will never do one in my 02. Love it too much. However, I had a 1988 Trans Am with an L98. Wimpy 350, but I laid a strip in my friends driveway that was there for three years. That was really fun

Haha, It's on the street, you never HAVE to! You CHOOSE to do it, because it's f'ing fun. Its not a rational thing, and it doesn't have anything to do with age. It is just plain good (sometimes expensive) fun.

Cops suck around my town so I don't light them up. I do occasionally do a WOT 1-2nd run on this road close to my neighborhood at night that nobody is ever on. I usually spin the tires quite a bit when I do that so yeah. I need better tires.

I have done 140, that's about the time I blew by my buddy's LT1 T/A on the highway. He merged on the highway late one night like a bat outta hell so he had a big jump on me, but I ended up running him down.

We were talking about that the other day actually and he was telling me that I blew by him like he was in reverse.

I've done it once this year. I don't have the extra money to replace 1 year old GSD3s.

I buried the speedo about 3 a.m. one night with the GF in the car. She was scared to death and about 140 started screaming at me to slow down!!!! Since I was already close to to topping out the speedo I ignored her and ran it up. She was so pissed she cut me off for a week Needless to say she taught me a good lesson

The first date I took my girlfriend on was when I had the 4:10s (Im an A4 BTW), bald *** hankooks, and a wet road. Sonic closed right as we got there and we were both hungry. So I was very pissed. Can you say sideways through 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and D? She was about to **** herself, and I was even scared. I didnt know if i could keep that one on the road .

No burnouts really, but I do enjoy kicking the car sideways pretty often. I also enjoy spinning the tires everywhere on a rainy day.
