"Roast em" "Light em up" "Peel Out"
All of these are things I hear on a weekly basis. About a half hour ago I was coming out of the gas station I go to quite frequently, cause you know low MPG probs, and this, well, young woman I wouldn't bring home to mom yells at me "Light em up when you leave" I said "Hell no unless you're paying for tires' to which she replies with in a serious manner "Well what the f**ks the point?" Mind you this gas station is completely packed. All the pumps are taken, there's a multitude of people walking from the pumps to the building. I don't know if it's my location (Arkansas) or if it's a normal thing. I'm curious if any of y'all are told to do this and what your response to it is. Also, if there are any other things you're told to do while driving from bystanders I'd love to hear them.

Its your location, if I did a burnout here people would call the cops on me or yell haha but I'm from TN so I totally understand what you are talking about. I was always the kid yelling "do a burnout!!!"

Never! I just give them a throttle blip

I haven't been asked to do a burnout since I lived in CA and daily drove a foxbody.

She's absolutely right. All that development work on the suspension, brakes, seats, rev limits, etc. were all done purely for the sake of lighting up the tires at the local gas station.

Little known fact, the reason the stereo sounds so bad is that it was developed specifically to play Free Bird, and only Free Bird, and too many people are playing other music, thereby not getting the correct effect. Rock and Roll!!! :headbang:

I get it often... I'll give them a rev or accelerate briskly, but that's it.

This all day long. I think I have done 1 burn out in approaching 2 years.

I've NEVER had a request like that. But then again, in Seattle people are more likely to pray you do it, secretly hope you crash, record it, post it to the internet, and then tell everyone how they chewed you out after they stopped recording the video.

We're a bit passive aggressive up here.

In Dallas they'll cheer and egg you on to excessive acceleration leaving the DFW Cars & Coffee. Then after laugh and jeer while videoing when you get pulled over by the men in blue. :tsk:

To answer OP...never.

I thought it was Green Grass and High Tides?

Must be specific areas of Little Rock this is an issue. I've only had my car 3 months and I mostly commute to work in it but it doesn't seem to draw an unusual amount of attention - a couple thumbs up from other drivers and a couple pickem-up trucks that pulled along side and nailed the accelerator to wheeze ahead of me. Think I had more attention in my 12 GT - seemed like every other Mustang GT that passed me or crossed in front of me would rev their engines to blast their pipes in my direction.

Never. I wouldn't do it, regardless. I did a few when I was younger but it's a novelty and tires are expensive...not to mention that I've become an anal detailer (did that on purpose) and don't want rubber gummies up inside the arches ;)

Wait until you try out the line lock...I only did it twice and now I spin through most of 2nd gear. No more burnouts for me!

There is no point in it and it is hard on the car. You will never catch me doing it to any of my cars.
