We may earn a commission from links on this page.

The thing about irresponsible people showing off and crashing at car shows is that end up getting the event cancelled. That's not right.

3.) Camaro tyre explodes

A quick burnout is a nice way to heat your tires and make you feel good about yourself. A too long one ruins your Camaro in front of your buddies. It's embarrassing.

2.) Ferrari outbrakes the podium

Car shows for the rich and famous are still car shows. This Ferrari might cost you millions of dollars, but the brakes are still far from being carbon ceramics.
