I had to get some new tires so I decided to make another tire roaster video but the day we were going to film it decided to rain but we did it anyway. My friend has a C6 and needed tires too so he joined in. He was afraid of hitting a curb so he didnt do too much. 400 HP makes donuts look easier too.

Its very easy to lose control when its wet and you have to keep your speeds low or else you are in trouble as you can see when I almost hit the curb :nono: . Even though it was in the rain the tires were down to the insides by the time I was done.

My parent's were driving back up to DC today from NC and almost all the east coast is on a flood watch (we're to get 2" today) so there is a lot of water on the roads.

they were behind a V6 (from what they could tell) and he lost control, did a 360, then hit the guard rail...all in front of my parents. they called 911 for him and he was okay but the car is banged up a little...

Gotta be careful in the rain!

video looked fun though :)

I think he said that because he kicked the tripod and then did it again. I also think the sound was enhanced by the buildings making it sort of echo. He was using a $3500 video camera as well. The original non reduced footage looks totally clear.

Its fun making those types of videos when you are getting new tires. All the fun without the guilt!
 
Thats pretty cool! I was going to use it for my avitar but the file size is too large.

Yeah, that camera must be good because I imported the video file as .jpeg frames using a program and that .gif is like 75 frames (a lot!).

I'll see what I can do ... It has to be under 35kb or so and that .gif is like 325kb.
 
What's up with that? I had an old C4 Vette and it would never come all the way around either. Wonder if that's a vette thing. Looked like y'all had alot of fun there. You should put the Nutcracker song to it and play it in slow-mo LOL.
