Notice on the video of the GTO that one lady says "...this is why we get kicked out of these venues..."
She's right.
We had something similar happen 'downriver Detroit' a few years back.....people were doing burnouts and a couple of cops were 'watching' - trying to be 'nice guys'.......
..........well........one person lost control of his car - and killed one person and injured a bunch more.
The cops and the driver went to prison.
Here's the thing: Don't we already know that these cars are fast?
So - yes, some people want to 'get on it' and show off.........but the reality is that so much can go wrong......esp. to innocent people who are standing nearby - or, God Forbid, coming the other way on the highway.
Some things to think about the next time you may be considering doing a burnout:
1. Do I want to wreck my car?
2. What happens if the activity is banned from future events because of my actions? (...some of us are NOT going to be happy with you.....)
3. What happens if I hit someone (car/truck/person(s)
4. What will happen to my insurance?
5. What happens if I go to prison. (that happens more than you'd think....)
6. What happens if my car (or truck) is seized?
By Seized I mean:
...many municipalities in both the U.S. and Canada now have seizure laws. They can seize your car or truck and sell it at auction......and, oh, by the way, YOU still have to make the monthly payments (court order) even though you don't have your car or truck anymore..........
I don't mean to be a Daniel Downer - but it concerns me that people don't quite seem to think things thru prior to doing something foolish........
Let's keep it safe and let's be mature about these things.........
