Never purposely beat on a car to break it. Even drove rentals as if they were my own. Guess it is all in where one's head is at.
Ditto... Sometimes a little smoke is fun... If you are in Vegas, lookout for a certain polar white '11 Mercury Grand Marquis(probably long retired), I was cuttin donuts with it when it had 850 miles...
We used to call this the reverse slam in the old Mustang. Put the car in reverse to get it rolling and then slammed into first gear. Worked well with the 78 series bias ply tires. Amazingly the old FMX held up.
