burning out

does any one know how to burn rubber in a standard car

That's an easy one. Dropping the clutch is the most common. There is rolling backwards and then dropping the clutch. There are a lot of other ways but I recommend not doing them. It can be pretty harmful to your car.

I've seen too many people try to be cool and do it only to break their cars.

What kind of car are you going to burn out in anyways?
