As Hayaku always say...."Take it to the track!"

Hayaku & I always stated that street racing is definitely a no-no.

Best thing one can do is to learn these high performance car's limit at a driving school with a professional instructor.

Unforuntately, this 18 yo with this 2004 M3 did not make it as he & another person in a CLK was racing in Laguna Hills.

Maybe mom and dad will learn not to buy their kids such quick cars....

Not like you couldn't do the same in a Civic if you had enough road, but I think kids...and driving like that these were kids...are up to see what the vehicle can do and a car like the M3 (know from my 2003) is to easily pushed to the high side of 101mph...

There is absolultey no reason for a kid to have an M or any car with that much power. What a shame.

Agreed...but also a teen driving school would great for anyone who gets a car.

Very unfortunate. Drivng school isn't going to instill a sense of responsibility in a person. Can someone explain to my why the other guy got charged with vehicular manslaughter, the guy who died was racing too..?

2002 Mercedes- $45K
2004 M3- $45K

Digital camera to take pics of your young sons in their flashy new cars so you can show everyone in Armenia and Iran how well you're doing in the States: $350

Driving school for the boys: PRICELESS
