Why Doing Burnouts In A Carpark Is A Bad Idea

[Flat Pack]

Because something like this might happen.

Don't know which is most shocking, that his car looks to have burnt out pretty fast or that he was stupid enough to try doing burnouts in an open supermarket carpark in the first place. Perhaps sometimes people do get what they deserve ;)

Ha! I can remember doing some 'puter work at a client and there were these two lads working there having an "animated discussion" about how one them put his front bumper to a car park wall then "floored it", burning out his tyres. The other from his comment - "Naaaarrr!" - obviously approved! Tw*ts!

Brilliant, Ive been telling my son burnouts are mega bad for the car, now I'll show him this. Pitty we all will be paying for it via our insurance premiums.

Harsh way to learn a simple lesson, wouldn't wish that on any1.

Mehh - least it was a ford

On a serious note - hope no one was hurt in that......

I didnt think the crankshaft breaking would case the engine to catch fire.

Nor would I..... However I think that one of camshafts may of snapped which could of punched a hole and then caught a fuel line.

Still... Good luck with the insurance crooks... sorry, company. :D Some of the comments about how he should claim are daft. How green do they think insurance companies are?

[stevetubbyturbo]

That serves him right for being a prat and doing burnt outs, no my mistake burn outs in a public place.

If i was shopping there and saw that i would have pointed and laughed

[Braindead]

Can someone please enlighten me? What is the point of a burnout and what does it prove about the driver or car?

Not being funny....I really don't know!

[Rash@R.A.Motors]

ouch.............! bet the driver sti**ed himself when he saw flames come up...You dont expect that to happen.

Rash.

In a normal road car with road tyres there is no point what so ever.

But in drag racing they do it to heat the tyre and make the tyre sticky to get better traction off the line.

Sooooooo

In terms of drag racing it gives you an edge.

In terms of a road car in a supermarket carpark, at best it s**gs your tyres, at worst you're left with a burnt out Shell.

I'm surprised more drivers don't do it.......NOT!
