Really though, WTF? Did they run that car through a tree debarking machine or something?

I wonder what a car looks like when it hits a tree (or three) at 150 km/hr. On the other hand, I wonder what made that electronic speedometer stick at that speed.

Wow, that's terrible. A bit of digging takes you to m5board.com, the 18-yr old driver joined 3 weeks ago. He even posted yesterday about airstrip runs..

Creepy

I wonder if he got the idea from that thread and was "giving it a try".....so to speak.

Wow -- spoiled kids on a joyride in dad's car. Tragic.

OT: Why don't I see the first post in that thread on m5board (or any other thread) using Firefox? The first post in each thread is the 2nd one... In IE it shows fine. Odd

In case the post is deleted (which wouldn't surprise me)

Snowball, thanks again buddy and I will try that soon.

M5baller, I will admit I was not aware that it wasnt a good idea to have m-mode set the way I did...My dealer did not tell me anything about it, when I took the test drive my salesmen had it set on the highest levels and told me it was fine. Even the mechanic said it was fine and that the only thing I really had to worry about was getting the services done on time. I know the salesmen pretty well as a friend and he has no reason to lie to me...plus like I said above the mechanic said there is no problem with it at all.... But I do understand where you guys are coming from, but I just want to be apart of the community and learn stuff just like you guys..

so take care

Josh
