Yeah I read about this a couple days ago. He probably would have slowed the car quite a bit if he didn't turn & brake at the same time.

***TOPGEAR REFRENCE** - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfUCJwYORUE - at about 6:40 They are driving a v10 m5 (touring) on an airstrip and jeremy cracks a joke about how you feel its going to take off, then they edit it flying through the air haha. BYE BYE KIDS IN FLORIDA!

Hey you guys wanna go get drunk and drive my dads brand new v10 M5 on an airstrip? Come on it would be great for the brakeing distance and overall handling to have an extra 1000+ lbs too. If clarkson did it so can I! Honestly yeah its allways terrible to see young people killing themselves like this but its their fault. This was caused by stupidity.

usally id say im sorry to say this but ive gotten to the point where im not. im tired of seeing stupid young kids gettin fast expensive cars and killing themselves its actully better off there gone so they dont do somethign in the future and hurt someone else.
i live in monmouth county nj which tends to be an upper middle class area last year there was 10 deaths with highschool kids all crashing there cars and dying from speeding. the worst being a cts that smashed into a bush then exploded in flames. parents stop buying your kids cars they shouldnt be. no 17 18 year old kid should be driving a 300+ hp car NO ONE there just not prepared for it and lack the judgment to be behind the wheel of one. everyday i almost get into an accident with some kid driving an evo or a sti its just becoming out of controll. now im not sayin i was the perfect driver when i got my lisence but i didnt drive like a maniac and i didnt have a fast car.
haha i started with a wopping 120hp honda and it wasnt untill i had about two years of driving eveyday that i increased the hp so i can safely say its a completely diffrent world going from 120hp at the crank to 400hp at the wheels
alli hope is parents get there heads outa there asses and start saying no to their kids because nobody should really have to die because of lack of judgment
