LOL...

I was 5 years old and my parents had a 2 day old car in the backyard that was in need of a new engine (some guy at the "Opel" (Saturn for you US people I believe) factory put on some components wrong and the engine needed replacing within the first 60 miles). Hence the reason why it was on the backyard: waiting for the new engine to arrive, and the old one to go out (it still ran but not as it was supposed to).

I went to play in it, but Dad forgot to take the keys out. I fired up the car, and did what I saw my Dad do all the time while driving: lower the handbrake, push the left pedal, wriggle the stick thing "a bit", then push the right pedal (to the floor of course), and release the left one...

My first burnout...

It ended when the kitchen decided to jump in front of the car...
