back to the VDC, turn that **** off and make turns like a real man, afterall shouldn't we take advantage of our RWD and LSD.

dumbest thing ive done/do is forget that my g is slammed, and when you hear those little scrapes/bumps entering or leaving a driveway.

Damaged my new rookie (KurumaZ) bumper 45 minutes after picking up the car from install

Miss-judged clearance in garage $150 touch-up for 3" f-up was enough to get it right ever time now!

Would pressing on the break & gas at the same time (VDC off) constitute as Dumb? I haven't done it (yet) but I've heard a few on here do, just wondering if it'll damage the transmission in any way? Otherwise how else do you get it to do a burnout from standstill?

no it will not damage your transmission.... Just make sure after your done with your burnout you let go of the brake first to send your car forward... Doing that will lessen the strain you put on your car instead of just sitting there when your done.

Like this video... hes doing everything right accept at the end when he stops.. he should have let his car go forward

Makes sense, Thanks for the info. I'm guessing you'll need new break pads if you do this too often

Dropped a lit cigarette under the seat, the day I picked up my G. Haven't smoked in it since....LOL

Another stupid thing I did was a few years ago I bought a brand new pick-up the first week I owned it, I put the hot car cigarette lighter on the stereo volume **** and it melted the **** nicely, thinking I was putting the lighter back in the car lighter holder. Man I was pissed!
