I don’t even know if you can blame parents for this one.

To add fuel to the fire

> the kid was posting on an m5 forum earlier that day. he was talking about how to work the paddle shifters when going like 140mph. some guy told him he would probably end up dead and take innocent people with him.

Maybe I’ll try to digup that thread over there just to see what people said.

18 year old kid, 500hp m5, recipe for disaster.

The kid was stupid and I could live with that.

What I can’t get over is that he took four others with him. Not knowing the circumstances or how intoxicated the passengers were at the time I can’t make a statement weither they were fine with it or too drunk to even know what’s going on. Nobody however has the right to take four others with you, because of your own mis-judgement.
