Any one else addicted to burnouts?

I am, and what makes it worst is that I have traction control, so one of my rears is near bald. Im also scared that my tire will pop, and I hate spending $60 + balancing for a new one. Racing with a spare on the back sucks, and turning with it on the front isnt much better. Its the only way I can "smoke" nowadays.

"I have traction control, so one of my rears is near bald"

That's not traction control bud, you just have a one-wheel-wonder thats all.

I've only done a couple little ones since i got the car back in Feb, basically becuase I'm trying to get all the life out of these crappy tires i can for $$ reasons. That and I'm trying to go easy on the tranny, this car's previous owner was quite rough on the poor car from what i've been told and i can't afford to blow it up!

Burnouts are especially fun when done in the "360" style around unsuspecting teenagers (even though im a teen myself) in mall parking lots, and just watching them stare....

Hehe...for work I buy cars at auction...naw, I've never seen someone light the tires on an auction car

Wait a minute...I don't think I'VE ever done that...that '00 GTP I picked up last week...I didn't go out in back of the auction block with it...I didn't turn the TCS off...I swear those 2 big strips were there before I picked the car up

I refuse to do burnouts in my cars...just everyone elses

Same with me NHCamero. i like to burnout but since my car is fast all my friends always want me to burn out or go fast. And when you spend like 600 on new tires your kinda weary about how you use them.
