Exactly its everything but the tire, and none of them should be burned away. So inless you want to pay out to play like that, don't do it. Ok just don't do it period, not illegally anyways.

I now it wasn't the tires. I was just sayin that's what it smelled like. The belt thing really makes sense i never even thought of that. And you don't need to lecture me on not goin that fast, especially on uneven terrain... I know, like i said young and dumb. and i slowed down right away when i didn't feel safe. When you don't feel safe in your own car it's bad.

At least you've got the brains to know. I heard about a bunch of kids in a BMW...the day after they got their licenses they were caught doing 95 mph. Talk about stupid. I refused to drive on highways for a month until I felt better behind the wheel.

My mom is the worst passenger in the world. It doesn't matter how smooth or conservative I am, I can always see her grabbing the door handle or bracing agains the floor. Growing up, I had learned to respect the road (a product of watching too much racing and reading too much Autoweek), so when I got my license,I took it a step at a time, and I took it really seriously. Same with Driver's Ed. As much as I hate the system, and as bas as I think it is, what they do teach is important. A lot of my friends just brushed it off as a waste of time. The day I thought I was all that was the day I wadded up my Integra. That taught me my lesson. And with the Silvia, I'm learning to drive all over again. The car is completely different from anything I have ever owned, so I'm learning all sorts of new tricks and technigues for controlling all that power through a different set of drive wheels.

It might be the burn smell of a new car getting opened up for the first few times. This happened to my prelude back in the days when I opened her up for the first time, smell something like plastic or rubber burning. Again same for the accord, and again for the EP3. Just make sure you check you car for faulty stuff just in case, I used to burn the lude everyday going home from work, top i went in that car was 138 and it scared the crap out of me cuz all the other cars were like standing still lol, this was back in 99 so you know I'd be old school now if I claim that with the new high end cars lol. Stay safe!
