Its about that kid that launched the M5 off the runway and died. Evidently, he was on a forum, not unlike this one. The M5 board seems to be down right now.

Since I can't read the forum, and see what people were posting, I'll need to wait until it's online. But I can't help but think that maybe someone could have reasoned with him not to drive so fast. Terribly sad.

I tinkerd with it a good bit after school (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I had it chirpping in 2nd and would make a semi-regular country run at around 90-95 m.p.h. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) 1600 d.p. sold it with 210,000 and the guy called me a copuple weeks later to tell me how awesome it was and insisted I had done more to it than I had. I had a really good friend of my dads build the engine. Old school VW legend around here, then I dicked with it to squeek a wee bit more out of it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
