Opinions on burnouts were divided on AM on Wednesday after footage emerged showing one which went disastrously wrong.
The footage shows an 18-year-old attempting a burnout at an American petrol station when he lost control of his car and crashed into a petrol pump.
The pump then burst into flames and the driver sped away.
But police caught up with him a short time later and he was arrested and admitted to starting the fire.
It didn't go down well with AM co-host Melissa Chan-Green, who suggested he was "the world's biggest idiot".
"I'm sorry, but if you try and do a burnout at a petrol station you are the world's biggest idiot, surely," Chan-Green said. "Doing a burnout anyway is a bit idiotic."
However, co-host Ryan Bridge admitted "they can be fun".
"People go to car tracks and do it, that's okay," he clarified.
