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.

It was in the central Florida news. Not a good thing.

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.

yup
I'm planning on attending safety lessons in a couple months

its not so much that he was young, it was because he was a DUMBASS.

theres no way in hell i would try to pull something like that in an m5.. expecaily not with 4 OTHERS IN THE CAR!

thats terrible. but we are always saying here to take it easy and learn how to drive before going balls to the wall. this is just substantiates all our warnings.

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

yea guess i did extra stupid shit.
and yea i did 130 in that thing on a highway. and 135 in the blue car before it was mine. 17 for one, 18 for the other.

I feel bad for all of the parents and family/friends.

Darwin Wins! M5 looses

**sammyg007** · 01-29-2008, 04:32 PM

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)

**253325is** · 01-30-2008, 12:10 AM

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...
