I believe AmericanM5 is 18?! I hope it's not anyone of them

AmericanM5 also lives in Florida, drives a 2008 Grey M5, and signed one of his posts as "Josh".

Unfortunately you maybe corect.

The chances were great it would be someone from the M5 board, younger people gravitate towards internet communties.

A tragedy to be sure. RIP to all of the.

My God, Let's hope not. I was just reading his post the other day and kind of shaking my head. I was thinking, good for him to own a car like this at 18 and that he must be a successful young man (and hoepfully not just a spoiled one), although his post regarding going all-out at S6 with the car barely broken in (i.e. 1,100 miles) was what left me shaking my head.

The post the thread in the link Snowball provided (above) was all about looking into airstrips to run high speeds, albeit it legally and safely, I think, yikes. My deepest prayers go out to all the young men involved and their families.

Tragic!!!

Tragic events.
All were really still kids.
A waste of young life.

Hope to god it wasn't him. Lots of eerie premonitions in that thread....
No children yet, but I can't imagine the horror that those parents are experiencing right now.
