or this guy.

Do burnouts count if your car is chained to some immovable object? I never understood burnouts...at least not since high school and I am the one paying for the tires.

I do believe he will be kissing goodbye to more than his $600 for tires after that one.

My first thought in Burnout Fail

Youtube has led me to believe all burnout-catastrophes are the result of dorktards. Well, not just youtube, I also had this one friend in high school...

This truly is some well-deserved schadenfreude I think

I guess my question is what really happened to cause the fire? Mythbusters did a whole thing on tires igniting from burnouts and were completely unable to get a tire to ignite. They even went as far as to spray fuel on the tire but could never manage any fires.

In reply to JThw8:

Tires are made up of many different rubber compounds, and vary widely from manufacturer to manufacturer and from one style of tire to another. My guess is that the rubber dust from one is more flammable than the dust from another.

In reply to John Brown:

Stupid kids. Why are stupid kids so stupid? I have two teen boys, and they aren't even as smart as they were when they were 10. Stupid kids. BTW, that's an EG Civic. And burnouts done while the vehicle is chained to an unmoveable object don't count. Stupid kids.

In reply to JThw8:

Mythbusters are bozos. Half the time their "tests" aren't complete enough to make valid conclusions, and the other half the time they are proving things that are obvious without testing. They are entertainers, not test engineers. Bozos I tell you.

TJ, I think it's a scientific fact that you have to have more than the 50hp in your classic Mini to do a true burnout. I know the 30hp in mine won't do it.

Yeah mythbusters is pretty stupid. They try to debunk "myths" from anything, like jumping out of a plane on an inflatible raft (Temple of Doom). That's not a myth, its just a movie

I don't think that's the tires on fire. I think he blew a line and sprayed something flammable on the exhaust manifold.

Maybe if I chained it to an immovable object it would work.

It only took two youtube hops from the op's video to come up with this: Challenge Vette

You're right. They should be testing whether Prometheus could really survive having his liver eaten by an eagle, then regenerate it only to have it eaten again the next day. Now that's a myth.
