Dodge Chief Donut Maker- anyone got a Hellcat for loan?

Same with wheelies. and jumping dirtbikes. and going fast.

Fuck doing things that are fun. Vehicles should be a means to get from point A to point B and nothing else. In fact they should have speed limiters that automatically go the speed limit on whatever road they are on.

I think MikeV was being sarcastic.....

Didn't they also pour bleach on them to help soften the tire when doing burnouts?

There was just some dude with a water hose. Nothing fancy. If you’re really into it, you treat your tires with something called VHT.

Waste of good doughnuts.

Idea:

1. Large empty parking lot
2. Lots of dirtbag moto buddies
3. Everyone eating donuts
4. Pan out - start with close ups of people eating donuts, zoom out to bikes doing donuts, zoom out further to a couple other cars doing donuts, reveal they're in a large circle around the perimeter, with a Dodge Hellcat in the middle melting a set of tires.

Donuts within donuts within donuts within donuts.

Sounds like you have a solid background in doughnuts. :rofl

Sorry, I get a wide open goal, I'm gonna kick... love ya.

Well I didn’t want to list everything but sure all that and more.

No reason why anyone needs any more performance than a golf cart.

I used to have a policy of doing at least a ton every day. Back when I was young and foolish. Some things don’t change

Ok then. Then I’ll say it again…

C’mon now you don’t think that was a serious response to that all or nothing interrelation.

Speed is cool but sitting there going nowhere with tires spinning looks kinda dumb.
Yes I absolutely get it as a means of heating tires to go faster at the track but in a parking lot nah.
 
Just so long as it’s still cool if I go to the mall parking garage to set off car alarms with my exhaust.

I have a good idea every once in a while. Logistics to pull together in the next week or two would be a PITA, but potentially doable if I can get people to agree to burn up some tire life.

Cheapest way would probably be to hit a junkyard to find some beater take-offs / half-used tires. Could maybe get a bit of cooperation from the local PD to let us use a parking lot...but then again, forgiveness is easier to ask than permission...I dunno.

I also don't have an American muscle car right now that would work for this, though I do have a friend with a Mustang GT who's down to star in it.

At a minimum for a good show I'd say if we could get 5-6 bikes who can do solid burnouts (or better yet, standing donuts) plus maybe 1-2 other cars as backups / alternates / co-hosts, that would do it.

Things like this make me think I should really get on Instagram and TikTok and whatnot. But then I go ride my motorcycle instead. That would be a pretty sweet gig, but I don't think I'm the kinda person who's gonna go viral, unless it's from covid.

From the outside looking in, the life of an influencer sounds like a dream job: shoot some videos, get free stuff, land a $150k dream job from Dodge, etc.

I've heard plenty of stories from the other side of the lens, and the amount of work those folks do, the toll it takes on their mental health, the lack of boundaries between work and personal life, and then knowing that you can always be just a few hours away from the internet turning it's back on you, it sounds like a fucking nightmare.

Maybe it's not for you. It's definitely not for me. Keep turning that rubber into smiles, I reckon it's a more satisfying way to live.

,,,,,.... that's... not a very static position, :cool nor.. is it a burnout :laughing

Then my position is this….

Burnouts will always be cool.

However. There’s a major downside to them.

No it’s not the waste of gas.

And to be honest, I don’t even care about the money for the cost of tires.

But once the tires are worn out? It fucking sucks…so bad, replacing these damn things. I can normally replace four tires on a 911 in less than an hour. The run flat tires on this thing? Took me over an hour and a half to do just the rears, and it was a knockdown fight the whole time.

So doing a burnout now…I think about having to fight those damn tires and the tire machine again. Gives me a bit of pause about doing it.
 
kinda scratched my head on this one. the whole influencer / viral video deal doesn’t really fit the profile of the dodge owners i know / have known. they seem to be a breed - and not that kind lol.
 
When I hear “Dodge” and “viral video” together, I’m expecting to see some dumbshit in a Hellcat getting into a wreck attempting to power slide out of a cars and coffee.

lol - never been even remotely tempted to buy a dodge, but i do love the name ‘hellcat’. all my hellcats have been the four legged version. and they only power slide across the hardwood floors - although also often wrecking in the process :laughing

on a semi-serious note - fucking marketing. fuck that shit.
