It is ... it's been posted at least 5 or 6 times in various places ... but hey, it's worthy of making sure everyone sees it.

Its very tragic, the kid posted on the M5Board Thursday, and spoke of driving the car 140mph.
RIP

Tragic.

Here's the news story about his posts on the M5board.

And here is the thread with posts from the kid. Erie to read now. But it's clear that the M5board members were all over this guy to be careful.

Then here's the M5board thread about the crash ... and their realiztion that it was the kid they tried to council "be safe" just they day before.

Sad.

American M5 - ".......I completley understand where you are coming from assuming that I am irresponsible..that is definetly understandable. I do sometimes make bad decisions but I am young and I do drive safe and I will not endanger the lives of others..and I hope you are not under the impression that I am the one to brag, I have never been that way and never will......."

This story is so sad. Gives you a horrible feeling as you read through that thread and the realisation slowly creeps up that AmericanM5 is one of those guys involved.
