yes, they are sport vehicles roasting rubber. but how often do you see a 190k mile former soccer mom suv roasting the tires like that? and with no chemical additives? if the insurance company didnt measure my tread depths, i would have held them longer

around here, that's everyday... kids get a hold of the Tahoe, or the explorer and have to go show off.

And get off the chemical additives kick... you wanna see why there was bleach there go check my pictures and see why i did it. There is NO tread left on those tires. I actually bought new ones 2 months early and did about 15 good burns to get the best pictures... i actually have pictures from when i almost hit the camera man on the last burn when i blew out the tires... given you cant really see anything, just that he was running away...

no tread for 5 burns is what you see, the bleach just kept them from blowing... and if you bring your Geo into it, ill bring mine. 94 Geo prism...

Back to the point, Is that everyone who's going to vote? I was expecting to lose by much more than this...

Micro, Bud, nice discussion you got going there.

It is about the amount of smoke. LOL, more smoke the better.

Anyways, is this everyone who is voting? And talking in RoTM? Has the cold weather stalled out everyone's voting spirit.

i paid 800...

and technically this is burnout of the month...

That Blazer is not my choice for ROTM. Chaotic has my vote.
