Blown Head Gasket on Redline (Not my RL)

[SaturnI0Nredline]

Well I was at the Dealership yesterday. I saw a Silver Redline up in the air beening worked on and I ask about it. The service guy told be it had about 15K miles, 4 bald tire (slicks), Brakes gone, and a blown head gasket. Ok now that is crazy to kill a redline like that. I like to go fast, but man. He also told me that the kid would sit with the parking brake on and let a little smoke out of the tires. Someone needs to take this kids redline aways from him. There is having fun and then there is killing the car.

holy crap!!

ive had my car since oct. and ive done one burnout, one, and only cuz id never done one before in a car (my first manual)

i dont plan on doing another one anytime soon, even tho it was real fun....only at the right time i guess.

thats real sad tho

No real performance in these cars unless you can do burn outs ALL DAY LONG!!!!

Well if all 4 tires were bald that means atleast he was smart enough to rotate the tires

[SaturnI0Nredline]

Thats true at least he did. But with tires that are $800 for a set. I hope he's rich....

i'll admit i get on it here and there like it was meant to be driven, but to have BALD tires with that many miles and to have torn up the brakes already must take some serious beating. mines held up real nice

[xtremesc2]

oh yeah, ill get on it too.....but not as much as i used to, i drive it a little more "respectfully" now. and when i do get on it, ill get on it for only about 1-2k rpms then let off just so i can feel the headrest.

I had a couple of glasses of wine and went for a drive tonight. I did something I never do...I RL'd all the first three gears in a 35 MPH....damn...Got those crazy mazda hairs going. I love this car!

We have had ppl at my dealership replace their tires on the Redlines @ 7-8k miles because of a.) premature inner tire wear, due to lack of rotation b.) str8 beating the shit out their car. I've got about 7k miles and im already (looking) for a good set of tires for street and for the track. I've been looking at the BF Goodrich T/A KW2. Any feedback??

Whoever that is that would that to a new car like that should not only have it taken away from them, they should also have a big boot kicked up their ass.
