There are not as many pics in this thread as the title might suggest. I can do pics of any of the following:

  • Race car, broken, in the paddock at Mid-Ohio
  • Race car on jack stands, my garage with various bits removed
  • truck, wife's car parked, covered in sleet
  • 911, in my garage, hiding from sleet storm

Anything else will require I take liberties with work that are inappropriate

think a 1998 MPV can do a burnout?

I am not sure if Its worth grenading the finicky transmission to try. I am sure it could though.

EDIT: GPS, the pics have to be taken after the topic is chosen.

Really I'm just going to google for whatever backdrop the topic suggests and do a poorly integrated photoshop hack of my car, hootis, or whatever else amuses me.

I know the picture is supposed to be taken after the challenge, but I really had/have high hopes for this thread. Since no one can/will/is able to do a burn out, what say we accept Lesley's burn out picture just this once?

If someone would be so kind as to second this motion, I don't think it would be unreasonable for that same person to also be granted "Challenge Presenter" status?

Just a thought...

I forfeit. The car still doesn't have brakes. :(

I also submit that this thread is an awesome concept, but will never work without a catchier title.

It was a deceptively tough ask. I suspect most of us live in some form of suburbia, where burning rubber is frowned upon, not to mention illegal.

Start again with another challenge.

Bob Costas!

If SWMBO hadn't just wrecked the only rwd v8 car we have, I'd be doing it right now. I know the Mazda and the Porsche just flat WON'T do them...not enough power.

Post something that I can do! Like, "your car sitting in a car port, with expired plates, having not been driven in months."

Erm, that's just about the only one I can do at the moment.

You guys have about 8 hours before the first burnout video to be posted in a forum full of RWD American V8s comes from a little FWD Jap car with 2-digit horsepower.

Well, I said I was waiting until 8 am eastern...as its now nearly 9, Id say time has expired...such a shame - with all the 'merkun muscle and boosted i-4s rolling around the forum, no one could snap a pic? oh well...

Your car next to an older version of the same model car
