I laughed out loud when I saw what car they picked. They kind of ruined it though. Ripped the skirt and rear bumper off and scraped the rims all up. The burn outs looked kind weak too. O well. The lego myth was awesome tho!

trying to see if you can indeed catch the rubber on fire while doing a burnout... we all know tires will smoke, but they wanted to see if it would catch fire. They basically took an LT1 TA and redlined it for a couple minutes doing a burnout... popped like 3 tires I think...

in the end... the myth was busted...

There's the clue: burnouts on Jim Beam will cause a fire.
