Have you guys heard about this? http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/sho...d.php?t=111545

Five teenage guys died in that crash on the 26th...the spooky part is some of the drivers posts on the M5forum the day before. The driver posted as AmericanM5...check out the second page, 3rd post down of this thread. http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/sho...d.php?t=111454

Hopefully some of you that are around their age...or any age really with LS1's will think twice next time you're about to do something dumb. There's a lot of good guys on this forum...would hate to see this happen to any one of you.

WOW thats awful. I have never understood why anyone would do something so stupid with other passengers in the car.

**ss~zoso~ss** · 02-12-2008, 05:08 PM

As sad as it is I do agree...although i'm sure we've all done something very dumb and were just plain lucky to have survived.

**ArcticZ06** · 02-12-2008, 05:21 PM

Ive been lucky many a times.

**Nhra Firebird** · 02-12-2008, 05:22 PM

wow that is really sad... I know over the years a few people from ls1 passed away, but that story really makes you think.

+1 on the thinking twice part! Be careful out there and try to be smart!

That is horrible, five kids 18 to 20. I pray for their families.

Yea...the airstrip is elevated around 80ft and there's a tree a few hundred feet from the edge. It says they hit the tree 15ft from the ground...so they were haulin ass.

**hutch1999** · 02-12-2008, 07:11 PM

did any of you guys read most of the posts on m5board, the driver and a bunch of m5 owners in florida were goin around trying to find different private airstrips to make 150-200mph runs on.

**02cetransam** · 02-12-2008, 07:27 PM

un fken real

**OnEbAdReDSS** · 02-12-2008, 07:42 PM

That is so sad... i have had a friend who shot himself... and a friend who drove off the road at 160 in his dad's vette... they both commited suicides... its soo sad...

**Zboner** · 02-12-2008, 07:58 PM

un real, would would you give an 18 year old kid a 500 HP car?

**LS2Tuner** · 02-12-2008, 08:17 PM

That is really FUCKED!

You get youngsters in a super car that they think is "un crashable" this is what happens.

You would be amazed at the BS some of these BMW and Benz people believe.
Yes they are one of the safest cars out there but that doesn't mean you can go off a 80 foot berm @ 100+ and hit a tree and the 12 air bags will save you.
Yeah I read the post about the M5 owners.Thats what I'm trying to say about these people they have no clue JUST MONEY.

On the suicide post..... God, I lost soooo many friends and family over the years I lost ALL respect for any cowards that kill them selfs. It doesn't matter how bad or hopeless your life is you have to think about the others in your life and what you are about to do to them.
Shit it's hard enough out here to not get caught up in someone else's drama let alone to take your self out!

**Zboner** · 02-12-2008, 08:20 PM

I agree I think now that suicide is the easy way out and its selfish in a way to all the loved ones that you hurt what u decide to take your life.

Ive had a friend go there. Saddest thing. If only he could of seen the effect his death had on everyone around him he would of thought twice.

Ive also had a buddy killed in a car accident out of stupidity much like these kids. Too fast + tree. The driver was the one killed and the 2 others survived. One of which is a very close friend of mine and he was in critical condition and a comma for 2 weeks. He definitely knows how lucky he is to have made a full recovery since October. Stuff like that really makes you think; very sobering.

**jimmybling31** · 02-12-2008, 08:39 PM

i have topped out my car on an air strip before but i don't even think im going to do that again. gah. i'm scared to floor it in my car now. i was scared before because i knew it wouldn't keep traction for long but now i really don't want to push it. i don't want people on here to be reading about me dieing in my 4th gen

**ATCharming** · 02-12-2008, 08:51 PM

i could only imagine how everyone feels on that board... imagine if someone here, from ls1 had that happen to him. id feel pretty fkin eerie too. if that happened here, it would definitely hit me a little inside, with a very personal type of feeling. just horrible
