What's wrong with my car!!!

i was driving home and came up to a stop light. it was about 2 in the morning and no one was around. so i decided to just peel out for the hell of it ( i was bored ) well when the light turned green i peeled out , only that my tires didn't. so i tried to peel out again and my tires won't peel .... it sounds like i have the clutch down when i do try to.
well the next day i was going like 40 in 4th gear and i tried to catch traffic without dropping a gear. well at 40 in 4th gear, i floored it, then all of the sudden my tach went up to 5 n i was going 40... it sounded like i had the clutch down again...but i didn't even have my foot anywhere close to the clutch.. Anyone please tell me what the hell is wrong with my car..... It hurts to know that my car is messed up... thanx

your clutch is slipping. basically ust need a new clutch. if you abuse it alot, it gets damaged, from doing stuff like peeling out. It's just a worn out clutch, won't be replaced under warranty cause it's wear and tare. NOt that expensive though, and it's really just your fault (not trying to be mean).
