Default Sorry neighbor, I didn't hear my squealing tires over my exhaust :)

So got into work today and got an email from someone I buy Equipment from. He said that he liked my car and asked if i drove by a certain road this morning. I said I may have but not sure because I don't keep track of street signs on my way. he said his friend mentioned that someone in a red C7 vet got a little sideways this morning on taking off from a light.
I don't think it was me I mostly did the speed limit all the way and only 5 over max lol. I cant hear my tires break loose over the exhaust though.
I asked him to get a pic next time to be sure . sounds like someone giving me a bad name lol.

That's not a "bad name", it's an "earned reputation".

You're not sure? Did you, or did not you break your tires loose this morning? (or yesterday, technically).

It maybe smooth but if in fact the car got "a little sideways" as the OP says then you'd surely notice that.

If mine just slips A little it has my undivided attention.If i'm maybe not paying much attention before I am when the car is starting to go sideways.
