Don't be DUMB like me !!!

So today I decided to get my new (slightly used) Falken tires, put on my car. I dropped the tires off at my shop and told them I'll be back in an hour. I went to a closed-down airfield (locals should know it, Floyd Bennett Field) and decided to have some fun with my car, kill the old tires, you know...

Lets just say the ground there is not so smooth, and drifting should only be done on SMOOTH surfaces! The white liquid on the fender is Windex, used to clean off that black **** from the tires, so it doesn't stick on my paint.



I have some cool videos, but they're wayyy too big to upload.

I drove the car back at 40mph on the highway, because I didn't have 0 tread, I had -100 tread!!! It was pretty stupid of me, but I didn't know that road could *** up my tires THAT bad.



And this is my old Bridgestone EL42 compared to the "new" Falken ZE512.



Now tell me how big of an idiot I am ! I don't care, it was so much fun, I need to get some cheap steel wheels and find a parking lot with no poles/lights!

EDIT: for those too lazy to go through the pages, here's the video:

Sounds like something I would have done. You are not going to get any crap from me.

You are cool

But you are stupid for putting windex on your phucking paint man. Use some damn car wax or somethin, it will wipe off with some buffing and you will be doing your paint a favor rather than raping the clear coat!!!!

Yea I know not to use it, but its the only thing I had and didn't want the hot rubber to harden on my paint. Before putting the new tires on, I went straight to a car wash from the airfield. The only time I'll ever go to a car wash, I prefer to wash it by hand.

I would have done the same thing. In my old chevy truck, once my tires were almost bald i would just do brake stands for minutes at a time and smoke up the whole parking lot because i wanted new tires. That was my excuse.
