You should really take your own "show some respect for others" advice. He asked a question and we tried to answer it. It's not up to us to judge whether or not his desire to do burnouts is what we would or would not do.

alloro,

I respectfully disagree here.

I perceive that this forum is not only to advise others of specific automotive advice, but I also believe, it's not inappropriate to voice our opinions when it comes to the potential safety of others.

Where do you draw the line?

From advice to installing split rims to the conversation if it turned to using guns and ammo while doing burn outs as well?

I come from industries where Safety is job one. Giving some safe advise I hope will never be frowned upon here.

I also believe, Sammy's advice was given in a constructive manner, not demeaning or offensive in any way.

My thoughts here.

You may have missed the string of messages the OP posted with the names he was throwing out there, but he clearly is very disrespectful. All of those posts got moderated and rightly so. I'm surprised the whole thread didn't get knocked out.

Right next to where it says to stop telling other people how to live. Just because he wants the ability to do burnouts doesn't mean he's going to sit at a crosswalk and light 'em up as school kids are being crossed.

Gotta agree with Alloro. The question was about how to do a burnout. Seems this guy got judged right off the bat "about spinning his tires?" I admit I didn't see the deleted stuff and if you guys say he was an *** I believe it, but he did get beat up on real quick. As for "doing burnouts" being unsafe..when was the last wreck anyone has seen the was caused by someone laying rubber? I also come from a safety intensive career but what we are doing is labeling everything "unsafe". Just me on my soapbox.

That's exactly what he was doing. He mentioned getting more wheel slippage on the crosswalk lines. I wasn't telling him that he shouldn't do burnouts. I was telling him not to do them on a public street.

There's a time and a place for everything. Doing burnouts on a public street isn't it. If I ask for advice on getting a better grouping with my 30-06 in my front yard in town, I would expect someone to question why I was shooting a gun in town and question how immature I was for doing so. Doing burnouts on a public street is kids stuff. "LOOK AT ME!!!" He's either a kid or he's a bonehead.
