You only live once, and Life is short, so when the urge strikes...

No pic, but years ago we moved into our first house on a cul-de-sac in a brand new development. I had a built '69 Swinger 340 and my new neighbor across the cul-de-sac had a built SBC in his '57 Chevy Cameo pickup. I came home one day and found he'd done a burnout from the edge of my driveway to his. I immediately returned the favor.
The neighbor kids in the other houses all got a kick out of seeing us "repaint" that crosswalk across the cul-de-sac from time to time.
Good times!
All of the other houses on the cul-de-sac have changed owners and current neighbors wouldn't like it at all, but I may have to do it just once when I get my current '69 Dart finished.

Love it!

We live in a neighborhood the encircles a small wetland/swamp/pond, depending on how much rain we've gotten recently, and since it's "just us" who goes in there, it's pretty quiet. Several of the neighbor kids have go-carts and/or minibikes, and on most weekends they can be seen driving around the pond at 20-30 MPH or so and having a great time. We don't mind, and we know to keep an eye out for them when we have to run into town for an errand.

But two of the neighbors "on the loop" are complete a-holes when it comes to this, and already this spring the Federales have been called-out a couple times (complaints about the kids), or so I've been told. I don't have a dog in this fight (no kids, latest people to move-in, etc), but I can't shake the feeling that I want to do a huge, smoky burnout on the street right outside their houses.

Immature? Sure! But I'm pushing 60, and who knows when my ticket will get punched, so...Screw 'em!
