wheel hop
Wheel hop is when the car's wheels bounce up and down quickly instead of spinning smoothly, which can happen when you accelerate hard. It can make it harder to control the car.
Wheel hop refers to a phenomenon where the wheels of a vehicle lose traction and bounce up and down rapidly, often during hard acceleration. This can lead to a loss of control and reduced performance.
