I think there was a witness that saw him do it & saw the post.

 

yep...from the news article:
"He said police canvassed the neighbourhood and found a person who had witnessed the speeding incident and was willing to give a statement. Soon after, they found Rigenco"
Busted!

 

^^ And good for him, nothing pisses me off more than people who tut-tut about behaviour like this but won't step up and do something about it. In my 'hood, I'm "that guy", LOL!

 

Ok, now I've heard everything. What kind of parents buy their kid an M5. Isn't that like a $120K car? Probably was his first car to boot.

I'm jealous, very very jealous.

 

not that surprised, i knew a kid who got a brand yellow 360 ferrari for this 16th b-day a couple years ago...rich people do crazy things

 

wow stupid kid, im 16 and i have no need to drive liek that sure i feel like it and i cant go to the track yet but im not stupid enough to go that quick in a residential area...the quickest ive gone was 95 on an empty fryway at night coming home from LA where i knew i wasnt going to harm anyone at all, vdc stays on, car stays maintained, im looking to get from point a to point b in a comfy car that i enjoy driving legaly, not driving like a jack *** where i can not only hurt myself but hurt the people around me. kids like those make me look bad as a teenager driving a "sports" car.

 

Say again!?

 

Now now... this kid isn't the problem. Take it easy on him- I'm pretty sure you know what he said.

 

....what?

 

If you couldn’t comprehend what he said you might just be…illiterate...

 

I just read all 28 pages on that bimmer forum... After lectures from many of the members, it seems as if Vlad quickly became aware of how serious the situation was and admitted he was wrong. He apologized about 20 times. I'm just surprised that the issue was escalated. As many members requested for the thread to be closed.
Looking back at it, I would say the lectures would have been forgotten easily, involving the police was definitely necessary to put an end to his reckless driving.

 

not quite sure where you got 120k from..

 

Prices are different here in Canada then the US??

 

Yep, fully maxed out every option M5 is like $113k

 

^ Yes, we are not so fortunate when it comes to car prices. A FULLY loaded new 2010 M3 is $91,600 + 13%HST ($103,508 ).
I looks like there is no M5 option in Canada for 2011. Bummer...I was going to buy one -
