I believe thats what happens when you burn up a clutch and still try to do a burnout.

Isn't this an example of the guy locking up the wheels with the footbrake/e-brake but still revving the motor?
Traction Control wouldn't bring you to a complete stop the car would still move forward.
Either way the guy is a moron, or this was done intentionally. You never know anymore.

It's times like this when I'm glad I still have a little kid in me - because I laughed out loud at that.

Of course he did. To bad they can't add a stupidity clause to warranties.
