Burnouts or "peeling out"

[Gs dewd]

Sadly alot of guys with cars like that are not "car guys" and have never turned a wrench in their life and don't even know how to change their oil. They think buying such a car automatically makes them a "car guy" but when you try and talk cars with them they haven't a clue and it becomes clear quickly that they are more interested in bragging about their wallet more than the caring what car they drive.

Most don't know how true this really is.

I said the same thing... and bought one anyways. the car is awesome and don't regret buying it one bit. I have only had ball-joint fail and had some fuel pump issues, and I have owned it since october of 2010. A hard shift through a couple gears doesn't all of a sudden classify as beaten' on.


It took me a while to find a car I was comfortable with buying. Oddly enough my car was road raced at 500+ on stock block for a couple years. But the owner took care of it, and that is one of the biggest factors with a car like this. Don't let the stereo type of them being beaten on scare you from owning one. there are ones worth buying out there

I felt the same but my latest purchase was a well beaten on AWD eclipse. I got it for a cheap enough price to warrant me pulling and rebuilding both the engine and trans. Even though the previous owner said they had been rebuilt within 15k miles. I just don't trust anyone when it comes to my cars. So I went through them myself. Good thing I did as there where some vital bolts left loose inside the engine (cam journal bolts, head bolts).

The eclipses seem to be worse than evos... probably due to them being older and likely gone through more owners.

If you know what you are getting into they can be a lot of fun

I am going to find the one where the guy smokes the clutch on his Z06

Here it is

I think I've seen this guy do car reviews. He didnt seem like the burnout type...maybe this is why. :biggrin:

Gee you'd think a "car guy" would know better, both how to do a burn out AND at least the smell of a clutch burning up!

Not sure why that one was "flagged"...

This is pretty funny too:

The guy in my video is definitely not a car guy. That was made clear when someone told him it wasn't the tires and he was like, "What was it then"?

Yeah... got the "non car guy" polo shirt and the Just for Men hairdo too. Doesn't match the stereotype much better than that video
