...you hear squealing tires at a set of lights and then realize it was you.

Sometimes I’m surprised how easy it is to get my tires squealing.

Funny thing is, when I’m trying to do one, it’s a lot harder. When I’m not, it’s pretty easy to chirp them. But that said, such is the way with everything in my life.

- I can’t aim a basketball, but I can guess pretty well.

- I can’t get off a decent slap shot (disgrace of Canada, right here) unless I’m taking such a run at it I don’t have time to think.

- I can’t play darts effectively unless I’m drunk.

- I can do “insert job description task here” in record time, but the second I stop to think about how, I’m on Oppo.

...and so it goes. I overthink things.

That’s more of a “Yellow light” feeling to me.

When I’m stocking shelves or pulling product or whatever, if I turn my brain completely off, I do amazing. If I think about what I’m doing, I end up having to correct silly mistakes during my final once-over.

Same thing. The only thing I can let myself think about when I’m doing something along those lines (in my case it’s more carpentry) is mental math. Eg I’ll set myself a stopwatch, and every time I go by I’ll hit the lap, and until the next time I go by I’ll be calculating averages and ETA’s for completion. I can fly through with minimal mistakes if I do that. If I think about how, it just turns into “this sucks I don’t wanna”.

So tire squeals aren't normal? I do it a lot without trying....

Your GP is a 3.9L, no?

Close, 3.8L. But I did it with the pt cruiser (non-turbo) as well... and my parent’s ‘00 Malibu....so...it's probably the way I drive?

Thanks for undermining my theories :/

The 3.9 is a torquey sumbitch. The 3.8 is no slouch. The others... well, yeah I guess it’s the way you drive.

You’re welcome!

Seriously though, I managed to make them squeal on a dirt road. I'm still confused on that.
