18 yr old kills himself and 4 others in car wreck... He posted on BMW forums

Gotta be careful driving powerful cars. I know I am in my 335xi. I boosted it up to about 350hp. Gotta know what you're doing or you could change your life for all the wrong reasons.Dreams-Visions

Nice :) I'm prolly getting the exact same car this summer :) exact model too :P

I know what you mean. My 100HP Civic is for professionals only. I keeps it in check.

What an idiot. If he wanted to kill himself, he should have bought a cheap Hyundai to do it in, not a ****ing M5! :xDark__Link

The news link in the other forum said it was an M5 traveling at 100 mph when it left the airstrip.

Good stuff. PM me when you do. I'll have recommendations for "enhancements" for you. :D

Here's an article that sums up his board postings, for those too lazy to sift through the actual message board:

It's funny how he was lying about the car being his. I wonder what people around here lie about?

"Three of victims were ejected. Two were partially ejected, FHP offcials said. It is not yet known whether any or all of the victims were wearing seat belts."

that's not nice......

Yes, that was the point of 'partially ejected' :X

just a bunch of spoiled rich punks with no respect for anything

Why would you say that?

This is why I think IQ tests should be part of your driving licence. He shouldn't have been driving an M5 at his age, its way too powerful and he can't even have been driving that long. I hate these jumped up little kids are invincible on the road, and think they can handle it...because they can't.

Ultimately, its the driver's fault. I feel sorry for the passengers.

Wow that sucks.

But how stupid can you be...

"You have an 08' M5 and an 08' 5 series? And youre 18? I don't really know anyone, age aside, that would own these two cars simultaneously. I'm not saying I care what you own, but its just disturbing to know, if you're for real, that an 18 year old who is asking these questions about a 500hp car is driving the same streets I am. I don't have anything against young guys driving nice cars, but an 18 year old behind the wheel of an M5 is what accidents are made of IMO. Then again you could be making all of this up. "

taken right from one of his threads....

This kind of stuff really pisses me off because it is such a waste of life. What kind of comfort will his parents have? Unlike young kids in Iraq or people suffering from diseases his parents won't have the comfort of knowing that they died for a cause. He died because he wanted to impress his friends...I don't his parents will ever find any comfort in that.

Why would you say that?

Wow...that's crazy reading about how little experience he had...

Something tells me his parens sheltered him and he never learned how to properlly assess risks....

How does an 18year old get an M5???Mercury88

I remember getting my dad's Acura Legend back in high school, and being a complete moron in that. Not to go into details, but I definitly would not want my son or daughter to have access to any more then a civic or corrolla until they could afford a car on their own.

Ya, if they really wanted to do it they can. However, it makes it a lot harder, and hence a lot less likely.

at least he killed himself and his friends alone and not on the streets taking possibly more ppl out with him.. idiot.
