One of my friend's dad had a new Riviera. Jim, my buddy got to drive it often. Some of the other kids were doing burnouts so my buddy did several. Then he looked at the rear tires and the steel belts were showing in places. He had destroyed the rear tires.
He drove home very carefully after stopping at the car wash to get rid of the rubber on the back of the car. He parked it where his dad left it.
The next day near dinner time his dad came to Jim's room and closed the door. Jim starting sweating bullets, and he dad said he noticed the rear tire wear on his car has been extreme and he had to buy new rear tires. Then he smirked, I guess I did too many burnouts, but please don't get the tires to the belts again.
Jim realized he was not in any real trouble and his dad was cooler than he thought. His dad was fairly wealthy.
