Chrips 2nd?

The other day I was driving home from work and the traffic around me was really annoying me, so I was finally the first one at the red light and just wanted to get away from these morons. Light turned green and I took off and to my surprise the car chirped 2nd. lol I had to make sure I wasn't hearing things so I did it again at the next light and sure eneough there was the chirp again.

I don't really like driving my car that hard for any reason, but I think thats pretty cool that an automatic stock TL-S can chirp 2nd gear. My OEM tires have about 3/4 life left as well. Hopefully when I get new tires this won't happen.

It shows power, and sounds cool, but it makes you slower =( You want all the traction you can get.

It's when you shift gears and your tires "chirp" (spin out a little on the pavement) because of so much power with not enough traction
