If you want to gain skills taking corners at high speed, I suggest learning that on a race track, not on public roads
By the way, the road could not have been very wet if your tires were squealing.

How did the Dukes of Hazardās ā69ā Charger always squeal the tires on dirt and gravel?

Yeah, there were quite a few things on Duke of Hazard that were fun to watch, but didnāt make much sense 
Interestingly enough, among all the tv channels that broadcast oldies, I havenāt seen too many that show Dukes
I realize some aspects of the show are no longer politically correct, but if you keep in mind it was a product of its time, I find it entertaining
Another thing I found amusing was that Roscoeās fenders would always seem to fall off of his patrol car
Dukes of Hazard is politically incorrect to air reruns due to the confederate flag I heard, maybe fake news. I hated the canned laughter that was on so many shows, may still be for all I know.

Thatās one of the politically incorrect aspects I was referring to. Or perhaps it could be called āinsensitiveā or āno longer appropriateā
I will admit as Iāve aged, Iāve come to realize that many of my prior viewpoints, opinions, etc. were wrong or inappropriate. But I didnāt know it at the time. Iām not going to mention just what those viewpoints were, though. But thatās the nature of the beast . . . as people age, some of their viewpoints are bound to change. I doubt thereās an adult whoās lived to middle age or old age, who has not had one single viewpoint that has changed over the course of their lives. You donāt have to announce to the world āI was wrongā or āMy opinion has changedā but you should at least admit it to yourself
Iām not sure that applies to Dukes of Hazards . . . ?
Does anybody happen to know the exact number of General Lees that were used during the filming of the tv series?
Right off of a Google Searchā¦
āSomewhere between 256 and 321 āGeneral Leeā cars were created and mostly destroyed during the series. Less than 20 in various states of disrepair still existā
Apparently the exact number is still elusive. I am amazed at the amount of cars they wrecked. I was thinking 50 or so but obviously waaaay low! 
I did not mean to imply Dukes of Hazard used canned laughter, not sure if they did or not, just recollecting a pet peeve about old showsā¦

Iāll second that!
TV shows still do canned laughter. especially for the really bad ones that not even a studio audience will laugh at.
If you need canned laughter, I donāt need to watch it.
When the promo slots arenāt even funny, I donāt need to watch it.
If it has two bankable (read expensive) actors in it so they canāt afford good writers, I donāt need to watch it.

I think cars have be squealing tires on dirt since talking movies were inventedā¦
You can find attractive women on many tv shows
But you canāt find Bassett hounds on many
Columbo and Dukes are the only ones that come to mind at the moment
Coach had one for awhile. Hayden referred to it as āthe bag a dog used to be in.ā
There was one on an episode of Andy Griffith, too. 
I used to have bassets, so I notice these things.
I think you are correct plus every car that goes off a cliff bursts into flames.
ā¦andā¦somehowā¦in a lot of films the car changes from one make or model to another as soon as it goes over that cliffā¦
And sometimes it changes shows, too!
CHiPs was very good at changing vehicles during a crash. One episode they were trying to open the trunk of an Impala, couldnāt get it open, pushed over an embankment, it turned into a Biscayne and the trunk immediately popped open as it left the road.
