    Dude you missed the most horrifying part about that post...


    That kid... he posted on M5board asking about his transmission and driving at like 150 mph, then he stopped posting that night. Then that story came to the news....

    Yeah, I heard this happened through an alternative non-car related forum - this whole thing about him posting then disappearing dead was literally all over the internets for a while!

    Dumb rich kid with an even dumber rich parent and a very fast car. Mix in a little bravado and a complete lack of skill and this is what you get.

    Oh well, no loss to the gene pool. It's the families of the friends who he also killed I feel sorry for.

    Suppose it makes a change from Americal college kids shooting each other though. Variety is the spice of life after all.
    It would have just as soon happened in a place not in America.... don't be an ass.
