Awesome Cadillac

Annie Koehler is 79 years old and drives a restored 1957 Cadillac. She also loves to smoke its tires.

Annie has won numerous burnout contests with her Coupe de Ville and its wonderful whitewall tires. (Thanks, Rob!)

We assumed the heating element wire would be straight but it has a zig-zag pattern.
