An interesting, yet tragic story about how an 18 yr old kid talks big on an BMW M5 Owners Web Forum opening himself to the usual spoiled kid criticism. Forum members later piece together news reports to learn that the kid stuffed it into a tree a few days after his final post. 4 of his buddies on board + him - no survivors.

And a link to the M5 board thread where they figure it out. Pictures and video of the carnage:

Tragic, but I think it's safe to say that 500 hp in your 1st car is a bad idea under any circumstance.....
