That baby's gonna ride like an abused Wal*Mart shopping cart - thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk thunk

Either that or the kid that actually laid those strips isn't getting the credit due. Looks like the left skid is lighter than the right - suggesting the car would go right instead of left, which makes me think these are actually "power on" burn-outs going in the opposite direction from a car with a limited slip... (Anyone ever see "My cousin Vinny" with Marisa Tomei?)

The only problem is Marisa Tomei's testimony was wrong. Posi-traction WAS available on a 64 Buick Skylark.
I worked in a Buick dealer's Parts Dept. in 1967.

Getting back to the picture, it looks like he was hall'n *** and pulled up on the e-brake. only marks I see are from the rear tires (tyres).
