It was an accidental burn-off (big time wheel spin)... I generally reserve silly things like deliberate burn-offs for one of the V8 pushrod cars, not the Porsches.
I was in the throttle pretty hard out of a stop light in the spyder when I just hit an oddly soft patch of pavement - like it was oil soaked and the surface just sort of flaked off. Spun both tires hard, and then just a few feet later, hit good pavement again - BANG - broken CV.
Totally my fault. I was too embarassed to tell Steve (husband), so I had the car towed home where I tried to get it fixed before he got home. He came home. Busted.
