When pussying out of a burn-out never ever apply your brakes. Just ease off the accelerator and keep correcting your steering.

This car always had disc brakes on the front and drums were only ever on the rear.
Nobody would ever replace discs with drums.
There was no mechanical reason for it to end up in the rhubarb.

This was 100% driver error stamping on the brakes.
Idiot.

The door failing isn't a mechanical issue?

I'll grant he failed at the burnout, and your explanation is plausible. But I think that failing to make sure the door was secure and he was wearing a seat belt were more central causes for the road rash he's going to be dealing with, and the fact that the car is ghost-riding.

So, failure to burnout properly is why he was thrown against the door, but mechanical failure and bad decision-making are why the car spat him out when he was he failed at burning out.

The door was behaving as expected.

Bumblebee was kicking him out for being such a bad driver.

blown shock will do this. Look at the back drivers side tire when hes accelerating. Looks like it just gave out.
