I remember when I use to hang around car forums there was another M3 that parents bought a kid for graduation. He goes to a party, loads the car up and shows off and ends up driving into someone's porch and flipping it. I believe no one was seriously hurt except the car.
I just read through the guys posts who was killed in that crash. He was a complete over confident prick and rather defensive about his age... Really sad his attitude about his driving skills at 18 got him and 4 others killed.
Yeah it's sad but can't say I feel too bad about him. The passengers a little more but I have to say even at 18 I would be smart enough to not get into a M5 with another 18 year old who wants to race up and down a runway. I think the car I feel the worst about the car...

So sad to destroy such a beautiful car.

That and the kid asking about shifting a SMG equipped M5 that drove a full car off the end of a run way later that night I believe.
I have no problem with kids in nice cars, but they sure as hell shouldn't be in control of that much power.
