Tire Send Off
I am getting new rear tires tomorrow morning so I thought I would give them a send off. After having dinner at Carrows with some friends, I thought I would go by the industrial area in HB on the way home to burn some rubber. I haven't gone WOT in 1st in the car since the tires break loose at half throttle with the tune. I was in the industrial park looking for a deserted street. I picked a dark street that there were only two cars towards the end of the street in the shade. I turn right with TC and Stability control off and from a about 5mph roll I floored it with the transmission in sport mode. The tires lit up immediately I smoked the tires into second and backed off the throttle when the tranny shifted into third. I was feeling pretty smug seeing the two dark marks I left behind me. My headlights then lit up the reflectors on the car parked in dark on the side of the street. I immediately recognized the tailights of a Crown Vic. I next saw the lights on top of the car on the other side of the street. Great not just one, but two HBPD cruisers on the street parked I just idled by the cars hoping that somehow the car and I are invisible. I waited for the blue and red lights come at any second. I turned right and kept a close eye on the rear view mirror. No lights approaching. Whew. I drove straight home.
I need to reconnoiter the area better next time.
