So we've arrived at 20,000 miles and our good man bodyblue will be surrendering his Fun Police license at any moment. Meanwhile, let's enjoy a proper tire-smoking send off for this most wonderful automobile.
After we cracked the 20,000-mile barrier with the 'Stang's drivetrain intact it only seemed appropriate to celebrate with a little gloating. We find gloating accompanied by tire smoke even more satisfying.
Coming tomorrow: Interior video to demonstrate tranny noise. Or lack thereof.

Wait until Carmax sees that video.

I prefer the stationary burnout where you make the car disappear in the smoke.
Easier with an automatic.

No pan back to see how long the 11s were?

i was sort of sick of this little pissing match... but i admit it, this made me laugh.
on a related note, some kind of old redneck used muscle car might be a funny addition to the LT fleet.

With all the snow and ice we're getting in Montreal, Mustangs aren't doing burnouts ... they're making futile attemps at forward motion.

+100 machwon23.
Post a video of JJ getting within 5 seconds of the lap record for the Mustang GT at Streets of Willow and I'll watch it.

Amazing t-shirt--you guys should be a good sport and send BB one along with that badge (provided that's not as photoshop).
and BB, that looks to be a driveway (non public road) so you see, JJ is really being safe. I think he even fastened his seatbelt first! Josh, don't fess up if it wasn't a private drive.
Is the mustang getting new rubber before you sell it?

"Amazing t-shirt--you guys should be a good sport and send BB one along with that badge (provided that's not as photoshop)."
BB's fun police badge has been revoked, he should be the one sending it in to IL, not the other way around.

So, you guys are replacing the 'Stang with a Camaro, right?
Please don't tell me you are going to get one of those Toyobaru things.

@jjaquot - don't know. Just show me a driving feat that takes some talent - c'mon with the burnouts already. It's like proving you CAN chew with your mouth open.

I've got nothing to prove. Burnouts are fun. They require little to no talent and nobody is claiming otherwise.
