It sounds like the clutch is worn and slipping. You're not resting your
left foot on the clutch pedal, are you?
When it happens, you can try lifting your foot off the throttle. However,
most likely you're going to have to have your clutch replaced sometime soon.

Hey, Brian! It sounds to me as if he is just smoking the tires with all

OK, seriously, it sounds like the clutch.
