WTF Friday: Burn out, literally
While basically pointless outside of a drag strip everyone still stops to watch a nice burn out. It’s just one of those things that comes with being a car enthusiast. They are an awesome spectacle when they go well.
But when they don’t…
My friend Grant sent me this first one, I pictured a lot of things happening but I didn’t expect the car to spontaneously combust! At least they chained it up instead of having people holding it?
Failed Burn Out – Watch more Funny Videos
I am pretty sure I saw this second video on the cardomain blog, tires blow up in burnout contests all the time but I have never seen them do this much damage to the car after exploding. I guess Camaro’s are sort of weak?
Remember this from the RX-7 Theme Tuesday? This is how it's done
Site Updates
I’ve let you guys wait long enough here are two of the 4 (maybe 5) new sticker designs I am sending off to the printers on Monday. Feel free to leave color preferences in the comments so that I can make sure to have them for the first order.
I decided to a a little ‘riskier’ with these stickers since there are quite a few clever stickers out these days and I didn’t want to feel left out!
URL stickers 2.0? Sex sells!
Little bit of a play on words
Hopefully no one rips them off between now and when I have them in my hands!
Flashback Friday
Watching the above burn out fails reminded me of a lot of classic automotive fails I have seen via youtube so I decided that what better way to cap off today’s WTF Friday than to throw it back to a previous WTF Friday: 10 Crazy youtube car crashes
For those of you who want the WTF Friday guessing game to return it will as soon as I get some of the new sticker designs in.
Oh Rob…
Anyway I am off to ride in a BMX contest today so fingers crossed see you Monday injury free!

Loving the new stickers as much as I love that RX-7 pic!
If you need anymore sticker ideas, i’m sure I can figure some out!
Interesting, lol. I saw one not too long ago of a Neon trying to do a burnout…. Engine threw a rod, haha. It was awesome enough to watch two or three times over.
Huge hole in the hood & one very dead engine, what you get for being dumb.
Conversely, watching my friend do a mini-burnout in his S14 was rather interesting. I’ve never been able to do them intentionally. Mine would all be one-wheel-wonders anyhow, so no thanks!
Nice on the stickers, but nothing I’d put on my own car, with the whole straight girl thing and all. Hope you understand.
At risk of being a comment whore, I just remembered a good video to add into this bit here.

Ya Meg that SR-10 one is classic.
And don’t worry the other designs are a bit more female friendly.
Oh and ya 1 tire fires are not so cool
I don’t like burn outs nor find them entertaining, but I’ll catch myself watching it anyways.
New stickers are pretty cool, but def. not wifey safe. I saw what you did there on that 2nd one (-_^)
