I was with 4 friends tonight and then doing a burnout on 4 pillows that I found in the dump. I go to drive off after most of them were already smoked to death, and then a few miles of driving, we started to smell a burning smell that was not burnt rubber. Then my friends pointed out to me that the surrounding woods were glowing, so I looked in my passenger mirror and sure enough there were sparks coming out from underneath my car. Damn pillow was stuck underneath the catalytic and it got hot enough to combust and catch fire. Immediately I pulled over, and ran to the trunk to grab my mini fire extinguisher. I put out most the flame and then backed up to get away from the flaming pillow. There was so much smoke it was unbelievable. And of all things, a COP rolled by and then did a U turn the got behind my car. He got out and asked me what happened, but then he read the huge "PYRO" sticker in my back window and asked if it had anything to do with it. I almost crapped. Then, the cop tries to use his extinguisher except his was out. So he sent me on my merry way and I still have crap still stuck on my Y pipe. I was fortunate that having a fire underneath the car didnt appear to do any damage to any of the lines (brake, FUEL...) or ruin any of the other delicate parts (CV boots). I was lucky.. goodthing I had an extinguisher in my car and goodthing I put out the fire before something serious could have happened.

After that I had the most intense road rage with some SOB in a toyota celica. Phew.. what a night..

 

Rememeber that pillows are made for either 2 things, pillow fights and sleeping !!!!! Not for burning the Max. LOL !!!!

 

read it 2 times... where did the pillow come from????

 

Yeah, but bad thing that you did have the common sense not to do something so dumb in the first place. Sorry, it had to be said.

 

Read the first sentence of the story....

 

Damn, there ain't much to do in your town, eh? Gonna go cow tipping tonight?

 

..

 

This is just as bad as the guy on the 3rd gen BBS who bleed his brake system and did not add any fluid. Then again, he was doing it for the first time and he didn't know. But, you on the other hand pulled the pillows out the dumpster and decided to do a burn-out. Regardless, it's good to know you can smile about it know so it's no need to go into details of what could have happen. Happy driving

 

sorry but the cop with the pyro sticker is just too funny. "Sir, common...I only set OTHER peoples cars on fire on purpose...this was by accident"

i have never heard anyone do this before.. it sounds wierd

 

thats why i didn't see pilow cuz i didn't want too how do you burn out on pillows???? your talking about the pillow you sleep on right??? or is there some Pillow stuff i never heard of???

 

dood this is coming from me so you bettah realize that you have to be one of the biggest idiots out there, even I ,thats right even i, wont do something that retarded

bro you should have bought a civic do to stuff that retarded - make that a used civic DX ........ or CRX =P

 

OK it was 4 AM when I posted that message so I was kinda tired...but let me rephrase it was a sofa cushion that was on fire.. not a pillow that you put your head on.. Anyway, you do a cushion burnout by driving the car's front wheels ontop of the cushion, and then drop the clutch. The spinning action of the wheel usually is enough to smoke the cushion and sometimes catch it on fire. But, I had no idea that one of them was actually stuck underneath my car, and probably the heat from the catalyst with the oxygen from the car moving set it on fire. Im just glad I got to it intime before it got hot enough to set the fuel lines aflame.

 

Man, I tried that once. I left burnout marks all the way across my den and my wife almost killed me...

Stillnmax is right -- the Max is powerful enough to do burnouts without a pillow. Leave the sleepy burnouts for the Civics...

PS - glad you weren't hurt or anything. Actually, I'm glad the car wasn't hurt...

 

Oh, my God. It's even funnier the second time...

 

This is so very ironic. Eric is the one who took apart his tranny and installed the Quaife LSD. Impressive!

Then he does this.

Dude, I have no idea what to make of you bro. It was intertaining reading at the very least.

 

Hehe, this happened over a year ago... look at the date... :-)

 

He hath changed people. The story was still kind of weird tho.

 

u must be bored

 

Try McDonalds trays next time...get a big empty parking lot, put two trays under your rear tires, set the ebrake, and start spinning around. Much fun

 

hahah that's fun too.. but still burning out on sofa cushions, the ishHh is unheard of.. hahahHAhh. even if it's a year old thread.. still funny...

 

I knew McDee's was good for something.

 

greatest story eva!!!

jersey

 

I should try that one day!

 

damn, I don';t know wehter to laugh 'cause it's funny or laugh 'cause it's retarded! I think I'll choose funny!

 

the thread that never dies

 

DW

 

Bring out your dead! Ding!

Jim

 

this is a new one on me

 

i'm not going to ask why theres a giant pyro sticker on your back windshield.

 

do you have a pillow fetish?

You know you can start the cushions on fire with a match?

If you are having trouble spinning your tires, go to a dirt road and try it.

 

and people always wonder why I have a fire extinguisher in my car..

 

I thought it was because you liked the way it looked next to the Type R sticker.

 

that's not a type R sticker.. it's the GTR emblem lol

 

this could have been the most retarded idea and act i have ever heard of.. but because it was a year and a half ago and jim quoted monty python i'll just whip out my laughing smiley..

 

hahah lets bring this thread up for the newbies!

 

lol hehe.....now wheres that mcDonalds tray thread?

 

This is the most insane thing I have ever read on this forum. What makes you want to do a burnout on a cushion? Our cars have enough power to burnout on payvement. Is the cushion burnout a rice boy trick?

 

This newbie thanks you. Most entertaining thing I have read in a loooonnnngggg time
