That is some crazy shit right there...

BTW, only a bad parent would buy their 18 year old kid a brand new 80K BMW with 500 horsepower.

I am not going to step out that far and say that.. but it probably wasn't the smartest decision they ever made... but I can't say that they are a bad parent without knowing the 18 yr old driving abilities...

Still a sad story no matter which way you look at it...

I doubt it was even his. More likely his dad let him drive it from time to time.

At least they choose to do this in an area where the only people at risk was themselves and not down freaking us 19 or 275. They died it happens best of luck to them on their next phase of existence.
