It's the parents fault for spoiling their kids.

18 years olds can say that they are more responsible and mature than people 5 years older than them but that's bull. I was 18 once and when you're young...you do stupid stuff(it's those damn teen hormones or something!!). Looking back, I did some boneheaded things that I would kick the 18 year old me's *** for.

Luckily for me, I had a old beater as a learning car and not a brand new car.

I wonder if the little brother's jealousy bar maxed out and decided to tap big brothers G. The article says they were drag racing; is it that hard to keep your car traveling in a straight line without hitting the person in front of/next to/behind you?

Exactly what I was thinking myself...

Injuries could be serious enough to leave permanent damage as a constant reminder for the rest of their lives. Sad.

yea its true that kids my age do stupid things, but the way i see it, there are 3 types of kids

1) ricers who do stupid **** to their cars and drive even worse
2) kids who just go to point a to point b in whatever car they are in from '96 taurus to a 335i
3) and kids who appreciate their babies and wouldnt do anything to hurt them.

btw should i be scared to drive my g37 around?

First and foremost, I hope they are ok and I'm glad they did not kill anyone.

And it's not just kids that drive st$pid, many adults drive st#pid too. I was one of those adults (24yrs of age), that spun out at 130mph. I'm just glad my God has given me a second chance in life. I promised him I will NEVER race or drive wreckless again, NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I can not say this enough to everyone here...PLEASE DO NOT race on public roads, its not worth your time or your life. It doesn't matter which car is faster, better setup, etc...its just a f#cken piece of metal. What matters most is your life, a life that can not be replaced and a life that is surrounded with family and friends!!

Drive safe y'all!!!
