Very sad, reading through that thread I noticed how much A$$HOLES are in a BMW forum.

true, I have a M3 and it's probably more than anyone needs for the street. I honestly never drive it and say gee wish I was in a 911 turbo or Z06 or GTR.

I had wanted a GTR at the time they were too hard to deal with the Nissan dealers. I still would prefer a GTR only because it's more rare than the M3, but all around the M3 is quick enough for me.

I don't drive very fast as I am too aware of these types of stories. A former co-worker was nearly killed in a Viper (street race). We were not close friends just facebook friends but the last message he told me how his car was insanely fast with 600-700hp and next week he's in a coma.

There are multiple threads in the various forums over there. I'm a member there and am curious who the "A$$HOLES" are?

Are they the guys that are expressing a lack of sympathy for someone that died while drinking and driving?

Or are they the guys that are defending the dead driver, in spite of the decision he made?

Apparently, you or no one you care for has ever been hit by a drunk driver. Trust me when I say that your perspective changes dramatically when you've been directly involved.


In spite of this, condolences to the driver's family and friends.

He goes every year apparently.

It's easy to pass judgement.

He goes by the name Lucifer_M3

Not a great name and color combo if you ask me...


May this be a lesson to those who drink and drive.
Drive safe and be responsible!

This is very crazy. RIP and condolences to his family. If drinking and driving was in fact the reason then it's no one else's fault but his own...

Holy cow. If you look carefully, the license plate matches.


Above: His car, as posted by him.


Above: Media photo of the car, aftermath.

Very sad. Be safe out there, fellow drivers. The destruction of that car is just incredible...

say that when you loved ones were taken away because some drunk driving idiot.

it is a good thing that he passed away without taking someone with him.

zero sympathy for this guy. I do speeding in my car, but only on freeways. speeding + drunk driving in a residential area is a direct disregard to other people's life. it is only a matter of time for him to kill someone.

Its weird looking at those pictures of the curve where he crashed knowing what those red mark are. Sort of weird to see people driving on that road like they would any other day knowing the extreme carnage that happened only a few days before, sort of eerie, at least i think it is
