Parking spot burnout...

"The sound of a jet, an engine warming up, even the clopping of shod hooves on pavement brings on the ancient shudder, the dry mouth and vacant eye, the hot palms and the churn of stomach high up under the rib cage. " - John Steinbeck

The parking spot burn-out takes the smoke show to another level. With the help of your fellow enthusiasts, whom much like yourself, have had a few beers too many. You'll proceed to sacrifice what little tread your tyres had when you arrived for the cheers of the appreciative crowd that quickly gathers. The biggest risk you'll run is snapping a part 8 hours away from home, which exactly what Big B did as he sheared the drive axle. Of course a broken part is a chance to display your mechanical prowess as they had the old girl fixed by late morning the next day.

Love the lighting effects here. Looks almost other-worldly.
