I don't think you'll be seeing that 8-10k out of your tires then. Remember Jeremy!

hahaha Last Emperor, I was waiting to post a thread of that video here but u stole my thunder lol. I wanted things to cool off a bit before I posted another thing hahaha.

Ohhh Well! Yes Hans Delbruck, that is me doing stupid things with my C63 but hey, I wanted to do it atleast once and yes the tires are still fine. Also nice video of the smoke but I think when I burned out once before making this video, my smoke was a bit more than the one you showed me. If you go to Topanga/Ventura in Woodlandhills, California you will see a long stretch of rubber marked in the parking lot, made by yours truely (#1 C63 idiot as some might say or maybe evn most) haha. Its a mark that many people go and see now for some reason Probably they go there and think, WOW what type of douche would do this but deep down they are like damn, I wish I could do that in C63. lol

You guys should check out the video with the VW beetle lol...Another stupid one! hahaha

Hey, it's all cool! It's your car and you should enjoy it the way you want to.

OK so I have a noob question for you then. Did you lay down 2 strips of rubber or 1? In my experience, you don't need an LSD to put down 2 tracks. You can drop the clutch in a cheap Civic and lay 2 tracks for 50 feet if you want... So can you get the "one wheel peel" meanies to pipe down? My '08 is kinda sensitive

merc-skycap: I watched the 2002 VW Bug video. It makes me curious... 1. How old are you? I would guess about 25. 2. What do you do to earn a living to own the cars you list in your avatar?

I'm 39, a very successful business owner, with some nice toys, but I couldn't even imagine asking how to do burnouts in my C63, racing Jetta's, do cookies with a bug, etc. unless I was about 18 again, and if I was 18, I wouldn't have had the maturity to have earned enough money to buy the cars you list in your avatar... I'm confused.

OMG, you have to tell someone this, are you kidding? If you don't know better you should not be allowed to even drive a car.
