Hopefully the universal condemnation here of the OP's actions will have the positive effect of discouraging a repeat performance.

I don't think our career choices have anything to do with this thead. I just don't want to see one of our young members get killed -- or kill someone else.

first thing that came to mind for me as well... that was an extremely sad and unfortunate story.

Not to lecture, just be extra careful with others in your car as well. I find myself much more distracted/tempted to do stupid shit when I have others riding with me.

lol, well he's taking pictures of someones then! maybe his dads... maybe its his doesn't make much of a difference but he's def driving an m5. i'm pretty sure he got the point that this forum and most others out there (other than probably honda rice burner forums) don't like hearing about speeding through a neighborhoods.

I dont doubt the fact that someone under 25 can afford one. I know of a few examples on this board myself included, I just don't think most people under 25 have any respect for the car they are driving which gladly is not the case for me.
