Poor kids thought m5 could fly

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,325816,00.html

Flew 200 feet of an 85 foot embankment and hit a tree 15 feet in the air? holy ****


Insane. 18 year old with a fast car maybe survivable but a 500hp big car??? Parents gotta be pist at themselves.


quote from kid; " FloridaBmw, yeah that is the problem when im going pedal to the metal pushing 140 and upshifting there tends to be thud noise with the gear change...I guess that is normal.... What part of florida are you in....

Plus still that recalibration of the clutch sounds good but I still dont know if you can do it with an 2008"

that car wouldve been better off on that smash lab show, have them put wings on it and see where it could go.

yeah those records arent the best

so did the parents lend the kid the car, did they steal it from them? or is it his own personal car?

I'm sorry, but I really don't have any sympathy. Their choice, they risked, they lost.
