my car does that too sometimes. Its only when I rev my engine or whatever. If I see a car thats sweet I do it. And I did it and it backfired every time I hit the gas pedal when the clutch was in. Its not a big deal right? Just a bad mix of air and fuel...correct?

sorry for being not cool... car's can back fire for many reasons. You have not explained any type of condition that this occurs under. Therefore i do not have the information needed to even make an educated guess.
