For the younger members....

Before you read through the following, stop and think. Think about what your friends and family would do if you were suddenly gone. No you may not drive an M5, and you’re probably thinking you’ve heard of people walking away from crashes. The reality is you’re not indestructible, and neither are the people around you.

As one of the older members of the board, I can say yeah…I’ve done some STUPID shit. I’ve been there, and not given crashing a second thought, but the fact is you can die going 30, you can die going 200, and anywhere in between. Do you really wanna put your family and friends through that?

No to mention the potential of an innocent bystander, or your passengers like in this case.

Here’s the story and the slideshow; not because I have some weird morbid fixation, but so you guys can see what you’ll look like next time you put your foot down.

I think your about as smart as the guy who crashed this M5 by addressing this post to younger members, as I am sure there are some members on here who are younger than you and probably realized this while you were at “I’ve done some STUPID shit.” part of your life and they didnt even have their licenses yet.

I agree with you that you can die anywhere going from 30 to whatever, but saying that all young people drive dangerous, is like saying all car enthusiasts street race.

Peace.
