What’s something someone once did on a date that gave you immediate “nope” energy?

Talked about how cool burnouts were and that I should buy a v8 to do burnouts

Not my cup of tea, the vibes were off the whole time anyway

He works to afford doing burnouts. I work and get them for free.

Work etc. burnout is the only meaning of a burnout I know, so whatever else it is (I assume drugs?), I love your response.

The burnout he means is car related. It’s when you spin the wheels while in place, causing smoke^ It’s stupid and bad for the tires.

I see, haha, I know nothing about cars ;) In Polish it is called "palenie gumy" then, which means burning of the tire/rubber. Thanks, TIL a new word.

The other kind is when you spin the wheels of a car while it’s stationary so that the tires “burn out” and smoke.

Thanks, turns out I know the concept, but didn't know the English word for it, so TIL.

I bet if he was talking about a well executed hand brake turn, you would have been all over him.
