"roast 'em!"
 

So... I am stopped at a light in Albany with my top down.


I see some kids in an old cavalier (maybe 22 years old each) trying to get my attention. They are about 5 feet ahead of me.


Finally I pull up and ask what they want.


The kid looks down and goes, "Roast 'em!" Roast 'em... oh, burn them out? At a traffic light?


I don't know HOW to do that! I mean I do, but I've never done it, and I know I need a little clearance in front of me in case I let off the brake and move forward.

I imagine it can't be good for the brakes or the tires, obviously.


I say, "What?? I can't do that."


They seem all ********************y & disappointed. "That Porsh ain't got ****************, then."



ME: Okay then. I turn my techno back on and just to excite them, I revved my engine to rev limiter.



They start babbling some things. I forgot what, but I responded, "These tires are expensive." "I bet they are", he replied.



The light turns and we drive away. I see a cop in the opposing lanes and I think, "Maybe it's a good thing I don't know how to burn these tires..."



Has anyone ever ... done this to you? I must admit I was very disturbed, but now I want to learn to burn them JUST A BIT :)



ANOTHER QUESTION: Why do people take the top-down as an invitation to talk to you? Can be annoying at times.

lol, i don't think boxsters have enough power to do it,

my S600 burns the tires with ease, but the boxster sucks

This is why my windows are tinted. The only people you should be conversing with a stop light are those of the opossite sex....

As fun as it may be burning rubber is very useless and expensive. I had kids ask me to do this in my WRX as well. :rolleyes:

if you want the easy way, you can just rev it up and slip (lift off) the clutch fast. If you dont like your transmission you can just side step the clutch (slip foot to the side and let clutch "pop" back up). I think the Boxster has enough juice to burn that way.

Just make sure to turn off traction control. I have not really tried this in the Boxster at all and I dont think I ever will. I have the optional 19" Carrera S wheels and well those tires grip and are too expensive to mess around with like that.

-aren

It does, When i got my rear tires installed, i went to a friends house and did a burn-out it was like the Porsche gods got it on with the tire gods wife! The tires started to spin and the car eased forward slowly then the frontend lifted like a speedboat and the boxster started moving forward much faster and the tires didnt gain traction until about 120 feet later @ 5300rpms. Gave me the illusion of having a drag race-ready boxster lol... sadly the boxster cannot replicate that burnout anymore, just normal burnouts that gain traction a tad-bit too soon well before the RPM's can make it to a respectible 5000 rpms before gaining traction. :cheers:

Yeah, I don't think I'll be doing it.



As it is, I autocross often and I want these to last as long as possible.




Sometimes I just wish I could enjoy my car peacefully...

Couldn't agree more! Great minds think alike!

I have no friends & girls don't talk to me :ah:

Dont feel bad, I got more girls screaming for attention on the road while in my 1967 Ford Mustang than i ever did in my Boxster... Depends in the area, the time, and day your driving through. Infact i get ZERO attention from outgoing women in the boxster, only time i had any attention was in Pasadena (old town) and some women (trendy hair dressers) walked out side the salon and were yelling at me just to say hello... top was down and i felt like a million bucks. :) Thats about it for nice girl stories.

Well, you're not alone. Never get attention from women.



I just remembered I have a girlfriend ... Maybe I should talk to her more.

I'm shocked. :rolleyes:

Not everyone can be a ghetto-fab thug like you and belong to a hardcore gang that makes a habit of threatening random strangers.



Woe is me for lacking that opportunity :ah:

O.K., I realize you've led a sheltered life. I mean a kid who doesn't know how to spin the tires on the sports car Daddy bought him, and then is not embarrassed to post about the lack of said knowlege and experience? I'm wondering about your last statement, however...do you have any idea what you're talking about, or do you just string random letters together and hope they spell words?

Grizz..don't make me call CJ and put us back in the cage again...hehehehehehe!

that's why i'm married so I don't have to worry about using my skills on talking to other girls :D
and the only rubber i burn this days are the pot holders :o

that's right..better watch it y'all! coz' im a mean flesh eating pink poodle...aaaaarrgghhhhh! :D

Dont forget your new sigs.

dude, i almost fell off the chair....that's some crazy sig. I think my sig is better than Grizzly :p

I'm sorry, are you experienced with engaging in illegal activities such as burning the tires at a traffic light?


Must be a ghetto-fab e-thug thing.


No, kiddie, not all of us are into dangerous & illegal acts and not all of us are knowledgable on it.



However, I hope your extensive knowledge on the matter will get you far in life. At least as far as being a cop will get you.

:cheers:

really haha, i couldnt place the poodles head in Grizzlys car cause his sigs too small so i gave it a slogan or phrase lol.

I've got a great line for this one but I'll play nice and just laugh to myself :D

Boy, you sure don't like cops much. I guess rejection does leave you with a bad opinion of people. Maybe you should try picking up some female ones instead.

I was under the impression that homosexuality was looked down upon in the ghetto/gang world.



Proud of you for being so open about it, though. I bet it was tough to just come out like this.

come close, i need to tell you guys
something......................................... ... HE'YAAAAAAAAA back IN YOUR CAGES!

I once had a woman in a minivan yell out to me that I must get a lot of freckles riding with the top down... I'm not sure if that was a compliment or not?

And to hell with getting female attention! Now that I'm single, I'm hoping once the car comes back from the shop (Mon), I'll be getting some attention from the opposite sex :p

I dont think its either a compleiment or insult, I heard that once from a person who watched me practice baseball one day, they asked me the same thing and when i asked why, they told me 1, i didnt wear a hat that day, 2, freckles are called sun kisses, 3, she thought i was ginger until i was close enough to tell.

I guess some people develop more freckles in the sun or its a old wives tale.

Yep, freckles come out due to being in the sun and from having paler skin. The dots are basically skin cells that produce melanonin easier than other cells. People that tan just have more of these cells than pale people (at least, that's how it was explained to me... it's probably more complicated overall).

Anyway, I just couldn't figure out why she said it to me... was just sort of random and I wasn't sure whether to smile like it was a compliment, or shrug it off like a criticism, hehe.

Here you go Ruby will talk to you!!

*L* Where is the hall monitor? I guess that is my peeve, unfair comments and "star" treatment -- OOps. Wrong thread. Sorry, my bad -- I got confused.

I don't know what the big deal is. You drive a car that a lot of people think is nice and get comments. Sure, it is annoying. Just be glad you aren't a trucker. Think of how many kids they must have giving them the "universal" signal for them to honk their horns.

Makes sense. Must be an adaptive way to tolerate the sun as pale people do not tolerate it well.


I admittedly tan with my top down. Very evident after a long day of driving :cool:





Attention is cool, but negative attention can go to hell :\

I used to never tan and only turn red in the sun, but now adays i just turn this yellowish bronze color... sorta like a Ryan Seacrest spray on tan special, So i look pretty good after a 15 minute drive with the top down.

[QUOTE=Bavarian Motorist]So... I am stopped at a light in Albany with my top down.


I see some kids in an old cavalier (maybe 22 years old each) trying to get my attention..../QUOTE]


Um, aren't these "kids" older than you?


Anyways,...


RE: burnout


Burnouts are fun! My box likes to axle hop more than anything. I"ll roast'em right before I get the tires replaced. It's a ritual I do. Great time to check ABS and other combat maneuvers also.

[QUOTE=boxsterz] When doing a burn out try to avoid the axle hopping. It is bad for your trany! ;)

when i was very young and my cousin was babysitting me, i got wayyyyy too many freckles from that, on my shoulders and my face (thank you cousin)
they dont show much at all, but the more and more 'tan' i get the more you see them.
but then again, i get a tan for a day and its gone, i just burn and turn red.

but then again i didnt meet many people tha said they look bad, so whatever ;)

[QUOTE=boxsterz]

They're older, but I don't act like an idiot... :confused:

Is that yours?! That bird has a filthier mouth than a middle-schooler who just learned what curse words are.

"Fck off, you twat!" HILARIOUS :lol:

The wife taught her to talk!! LOL
