M5 crash
Hey guys, I haven't been on in a few days since I have been busy, but I wanted to post this real quick. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=124526
Made me think about some of my driving even if I am only in an E30. Anyways be careful, even though we all think we are AMAZING drivers shit happens. |

Wow. A real shame that idiot killed 4 others.
There isn't much left of that car, they must have been hauling.

Wow, exactly why people don't need a fast car when they are young and don't know how to drive it. Another reason to get some real life training through a saftey school or some time at the track with an instructor. |

bullshit.
I did 82mph in a 25 showing off to my friends. I wouldn't at that point consider myself a dumbass...but a teenager with a 250hp porsche.
Friends make you do stupid shit, you make yourself do stupid shit. and if had the oppurtunity, you prolly would have done the same or similar.

i NEVER did anything stupid with my friends in the car. any time i did something stupid i was by my self, and it usualy involved sliding around a corner on an empty dirt road.
and yes, being a teenager automaticly makes you an idiot. i know that. haha. and yes, if i had a 250HP porsche i probably would have tried to hit 130 on an empty highway(hell, i would try that now), but not in town. i was talking about this with my mom and she told me about the time she did 120 on mainstreet O_O |

It's hard to have sympathy for somebody who would put themselves in that position... too much money and too little brains... |

i see your point, but nevertheless there were lives lost, yes they may have been stupid now, but 'they were just kids' and i guess you can say they didnt have the intention of killing anyone(or atleast, if they knew im sure they wouldn't have)

i think all it means is there is a really really really good reson for teenagers to have jobs making 8 bucks an hour... cant buy and or get theyre hands on a 500hp car.
ha and to think i was scared behind the wheel of my uncles m3. it was like me to him. 16 to 18, not mine to not his, 240 to 500 haha...
