My burnout moment? Head on collision with a Semi on the highway. I spun off and twisted around into the guardrail. Heres the lesson guys: 4 months in the hospital and 2 years of rehab and I'm permanently disabled. True Story.

I was listening to Minus The Bear - Michio's Death Drive when I accidentally peeled out in a right turn during the keyboard solo and almost slammed the back of my Chrysler Cirrus 2000 into a Escalade. Didn't happen though as I barely missed out on the gas guzzler. The keyboardist continued, sweat poured from my forehead, and I threw on the sunglasses.
Burnout-tastic

My burnout moment was when my mum drove from Mississippi to Illinois at 95 mph from 3am to 7am. Off the main expressway so she wouldn't get caught.

Back when I was working as a Rent-a-Cop at a Holiday Inn, we were hosting for a Volkswagon Water Cooled Custom Car Event. The disruptive nature of the whole event wouldn't have been much of a problem, if it wasn't for the fact that most of the people doing donuts and illegal stock racing in the parking lot... were the local cops...
So... doing donuts and racing against cops in my governer removed, Mazda Millenia Supercharger which I bought from a reformed ex-drug dealer...

Years ago - and long before the Initial D fad - I managed to do a perfect 180 degree handbrake drift into the Sunnyvale Golfland parking lot.
In a Volvo 240.

Back in 2001 I had a camaro with 2 1/2" exhaust. It was Spring of my Junior year. My highschool had a dirt parking lot. I was giving a friend of mine a ride home and it was the first time they had been in my car and I decided to scare the bejesus out of him. I took off down the parking lot, which was completely full. We quickly approached the end of the aisle and the only way to go was a 90 degree turn to the right. I spun the wheel quickly to the right, then back to the left as the car yawed, seemingly out of control. My passenger gripped the side of the door and I was grinning from ear to ear. However, that smile quicikly went away as I completed my drift and all my tires quit spinning. The next aisle over, the Dean and the Student Resource Officer (the Sheriff Deputy assigned to the school) had seen the entire incident as my loud exhaust had betrayed my apparently illegal stunt.
Tucker (the Dean) began yellling at me to get my attention. I had to stop. He asked me "What are you doin"?, then told me to park and come into his office. My passenger was informed that he would have to find another ride home. I held my head high as I walked into the Dean's office with the Deputy.
The Dean asked me again what I was thinking and why I did that (the drift). I didn't have a lot to say, so he called my father. Tucker told my dad what I had done, saying that I had "almost spun out." It was quite funny to me, although I acted remorseful because I knew I was going to get a ticket.
The SRO informed me that he would be writing me a ticket for "improper change of land or course" and my punishment from the Dean was that I could not park on campus for 3 weeks. It ended up costing me about $150, but my reputation on campus for my driving ability was noted by my class and most of my teachers.

I ended up doing a barrel roll off a jump at only 15 mph, while having rockets explode out of my arse, and fireworks coming out of the golf cart I did it in.

My best Burnout moment was when I first hit over 90 mph on a freeway, thats when I realized I actually had a driver's license, no more having Mom and Dad with me in the car.

Spun the car out in a tight corner and got the car on two wheels before it dropped!

My friend was merging onto the freeway when one of his tires blew. The four of us in the car were pulled back and forth on the the freeway, but thankfully we ended up facing towards the right, away from traffic. We ended up on an embankment facing downward, perpendicular to the freeway itself. We didn't have any injuries, but the car mysteriously had earned some boost power for "drifting." Weird, huh?

Last summer, driving from Houston to Dallas I'm going 110 in my v6 Accord trying to get it to go 115 when suddenly a cop on the other side of the highway comes after me. Gave me a ticket for going 97 mph thank goodness. I should have known in a town called Buffalo, TX I should have been more careful.
