Id never abuse a car like that. Too much respect i guess. But it sure is fun watching other dumbasses doing it.

Oh, and the drift at the end is cool.

Honestly I don't get what the big deal is with stuff like that. I think that just about anyone on this board can do that type of stuff, so the only thing special in that vid is the car, which he clearly doesn't love the way it should be loved.

Just my 2¢

Danno: It looks like the target is a shorcut (in IE), so you'll have to: locate the path to the browser cache; then do a search for "m5" on that folder and you will find it. Then you can copy/paste to another directory. Good seeing you!

Exactly......not meant to do standing burn-outs for 5 minutes and not meant to drift around a corner in a residential area in Utah! That guy could have easily lost it and hurt himself or someone else!

Hey if you have the money to buy another one anytime.. It might be fun to screw around with that much power like that for a day. (assuming you are in a safe area). Maybe its because i'm a kid.. but I know its ****ty for the car, but, it would be fun if you could afford it, and it wasn't a car you wanted to keep.

Besides, it's not a porsche, so good riddance!

I'd be surprised if the person who did those burn outs actually OWNED that car...that just seems a little child-ish to me. And I'm only 23...eh!

Hah, I'll put money it was his car. Alot of guys do that stuff, and quite frankly I dont care what you guys think, I'm amused. Drifting may not be the fastest, but I think it's pretty cool, burnouts may be expensive, but sometimes they do look cool. I'd rather see one hell of an expensive car doing that **** than some nissan sh*tbox.

I don't think I want "The Ultimate Driving Machine." Seems like all it's good for is sitting at standstill while creating smoke and going around in circles.
