The Nuclear Option: Now This Is How You Do A Shop Burnout!


The Nuclear Option: Now This Is How You Do A Shop Burnout!

I can’t wait to see the throngs of comments from people who are going to cry about abuse of an old Ford truck, or the wastefulness of a burnout, or who are going to yelp and complain about the lack of respect involved with absolutely nuking a set of tires straight to Hell in the middle of an abandoned gymnasium that should’ve collapsed fifteen years ago. I would love to say that I’m surprised every time somebody poo-poohs this kind of activity, especially when the only people who reasonably could be hurt in the fun are the people with cameras (who knew what they were getting themselves into) and the loose nut behind the wheel. They had the approval of the truck owner. What’s the harm?

Frankly, I’m concerned if nothing about this video doesn’t inspire you in some way. Exploring old haunts abandoned? The kid in me loved doing that stuff. The E-body shell in the corner? Yes, please. The old Ford that is one of Kevin’s better revival choices, that needed little more than a carburetor that wasn’t totally, utterly shot to run properly, that’s going to be extracted from this mildew-infested cave and brought back to the land of the living? The screaming engine and annihilated tires?

Yes, yes and more yes.

    A gym that old wouldn’t have fire alarms. But the neighbors would have thought the building was on fire!
