Guy does a couple burnouts on an empty private road without a car or person in sight on and gets nailed to the cross
"no way tires are expensive!!"
"where is his seatbelt?"
"what about rock chips?!?"
what a time to be alive

havent done a 1st gear burnout since my 1992 vw golf 
all 2nd gear torque here ... BUt mostly at the drag strip...
with that said I see NOt much danger where Kleib was doing the burnout... your priuses and Sport utilities flying at 60mph on residental areas or highway shifting lanes back and forth 90mph around other cars are the danger,. you dont have the suspension , brakes NOR the talent to avoid an accident ...
THis is AMERICA... find a side road/parking lot., Give it gas and let the torque rip the pavement
keep open eyes and head up

You guys are the biggest bunch of sissies I have ever seen. I have been apart of many many different communities and enthusiast groups over my years of motorcycle and car ownership; and never have I come across a group like corvette owners. The people who put towels on their seats and never take the car out unless the conditions are perfect. While I love my 2010 grand sport and will likely never part with it; I can't fathom why you people act like this car is a 1970 E-Type. You realize it's a mass produced plastic car right?? Take it to the track, do burnouts, run through the gears as the builders intend. Let others drive your car, share the passion and share the performance. But for the love of god, when I take my car to get my cup tires mounted for another track day this weekend; and I see the base 2006 automatic convertible with an ugly *** towel on the drivers seat a sticker on both sides of the windshield that says "smell but don't touch" it makes me hang my head in shame; much like a successful black person does during the Baltimore riots.

There's another crazy thing that people are doing that causes pebbles to be thrown and potential rock chips...
driving.

As for me I usually have one of the dirtiest cars at the show
but I also have R888s. When I take her out I make sure I get my "fix."

I've noticed you can usually tell what kind of driver the person is by looking at their tires. Anytime I see runflats I know he spends more time waxing than WOT

Do you put plastic covers on your couch and chairs and plastic protective runners on the carpet and wood floors in your home?

Keeping a car mint and low miles for the next owner is like not having sex with your wife/girlfriend so the next guy gets it in like new condition.

There is no issue doing it on an empty street like he did. Yes tires are expensive yes paintchips suck but thats going to happen no matter what. Might as well have a little fun doing it.
