Default Dreaded words! (video)

So, I’m sitting there getting ready for a great weekend, wash the car, go for a drive, relax and have a few beers, when all of the sudden, the 13 year old walks in and says the words that all parents dread to hear………..My science project is due Monday! So, to make a long story short….and get right to the video….we ended up doing the project on “Does the weight of a car effect it’s stopping distance?”. I know, I know, but let’s not start on the C3’s brakes. We used the 81 Vette and a 99 Tahoe, and of course, the vette won, by a few feet. Anyway junior comes up with an idea for the last slide of his power point presentation. Have him doing donuts in the vette,…….yea right…..
