First of all, I wonder if this even happens. Have you ever personally witnessed the moment when a car that has only ever idled from show booth to trailer finally got unleashed and driven in earnest? Does it lead to immediate disaster? Is it a glorious symphony of roaring engine and melting tires?

    That sounds amazing! At least, until they catch fire. A symphony of roaring engines followed by immediate disaster, haha how cool!

      Some owners were tamer. Burnouts weren’t required. They sometimes had a parade through the city, blocking off streets and cops as part of it. I did notice at the end of it was a truck with a tilt tray so a break down of a car just doing 40-50kmph along a city road was planned for.
