Burn outs

I did a burnout with my parents' 1983 GMC and the rear axle fell apart.

Now I have to fix it. <_<

Kids will do the darndest things....

I learned to drive in an English Ford...a little 4 banger not exactly meant for road racing...meant you didn't get going so fast though.

Couldn't do a burnout if you tried....might get a chirp on a corner though.

Even at 28.

On a positive note, I did find a locker in there. It hasn't worked as long as I've known the truck. I think it came back to life when I was doing the infamous burnout (about 2 seconds of spinning

) and broke the axle by transferring torque to the wheel that wasn't spinning.

Ive found the tercel can do some impressive 4wd doughnuts when on a loose flat surface. Ah, the one wheel pivot.

Its funny to watch the inclinometers get pegged out at 30* .
