Did you hear any engines revving? Nope…

Anyone else used to put plastic McDonald’s trays under the rear tyres of their first car? Or metal baking trays for sparks 😂

Why didn’t you put a bunch of leaves in the back tyres, I mean Apart from the issue of having them stick on, they would be pretty the same as plastic
