In the early '70s, I was in JHS and would amuse myself by watching the HS dudes have burnout contests w their parent's cars. The usual winner was a '64 Buick Wildcat w 425 nailhead V-8 until someone showed up one day w a borrowed, (stolen?), V-6 4-speed Capri. They melted the tires on that thing.

I'll never forget the day that the kid w his mom's Buick blew up the differential right in the street doing a particularly aggressive brake stand. How he 'splained that to parents is a mystery for the ages. Especially when the tow truck picked it up from a sea of black stripes on the road.

But I digress...fun cars, I'm sure.
