      No amount of airbags was saving those four dudes. Wicked.

        High-speed crash, no kidding. That is a scene of total destruction.

          Makes me glad none of my friends had a new M5 when I was a teenager.

            Shame..

            These cars are getting so powerful and getting in the hands of inexperienced/immature drivers.. At least the driver didn't take any other cars out with him..

            Must have been going insanely fast to lose control in a car like that..

                  Wow that is one of the worst wrecks I've seen.

                  My friends and I were pretty stupid back when we got our licenses. Thank God we were only working with an average of 140 ponies.

                    Exactly, to you and everyone else in this thread.

                    I can't imagine the type of trouble I would have got in with 500+ hp when I was 18.

                      If you own an E30, you are a survivor of some idiotic driving as a youth, guaranteed.

                      Poor souls, r.i.p. I’m slowing down driving now .

                        When I was a youth, I had a Chebby Monza that was lucky to hit 100mph on a downhill cliff.

                        It was still dangerous to me.

                        Of course, Pac Man didn't convince me I could be a street racerz, either...

                          They probably forgot to include a Rob option.

                            I daily drive a near 800hp F10 M5, lack of respect will get your ass slung into a poll surrrrr'nuff. Even stock they are no slouch.

                            Its a big bitch and while it rolls-the-fuck-out, it can easily get sideways on you and with the weight in motion you've got to be on the ball.

                              One of the occupants who died is my gf's friend/classmate. He just graduated from the same Uni that I attend yesterday.
