I like the 'girlfriend/SO doing a burnout" challenge, but I won't see her for a few days. Saturday would be day 5 by my count.

Do I need to get my wife out there tomorrow to roast some tires to win my own challenge???

If so... do y'all want to see a girl do a smoking launch or donuts?

Sorry but I can't get these photos. She chickened out and won't do one unless there are absolutely no houses in sight... drove for an hour and a half. I found thousands of spots that would have worked for me, none worked for her.

Anyone else with better luck or a braver woman?

New challenge proposition on Monday if no one answers this one.

I'm probably like most owners...
A. I'm not too big on doing any type of burnout
B. I don't let my wife drive my everyday driver, let alone my Vette.

I vote a new Challenge.

Well if I told her to give it some right foot while letting out the clutch, I think we would have a great burnout.

Yeah, you kind of need some room for the inexperianced. Any quiet intersection for me, but where do you find a abandoned airstrip or parking lot without obstruction when you need one? An a4 would have helped, I'm m6...

Looking forward to monday, Happy Fathers Day to all the C5 Dads I didn't get around to driving today, but I did wash and wax MY baby.

NEW CHALLENGE:

Picture of your Corvette underneath your state sign.

(Road Sign such as "Welcome to *********")

This one is easy, you'll find these signs at borders and near airports.

Engine turned on (just do it parked because it's safer) so we can see you idle RPM... then you should have both the ABS light and traction light on... the kicker will have a "service ABS/traction control" on the DIC.

I can literally get a picture of this in 5 minutes or less. My car has had these lights on for 4 years now. I figured this would be an easy win for someone out there.

Dude, that would drive me nuts having lights on like that for 4 years....

Although it did take me awhile to replace the TPMSs....
