....and judging by those few burnt spots on top I'd say it was cooked with too hot of a flame.

No harm but in the US you are completely spoilt by your car prices, in the UK or Ireland you would be currently paying the equivalent of about $58k for a fairly standard 3.0 Si. Your prices help to result in 20 year olds being able (or generally more accurately their parents buying) a car like a ZM4. Not sure if he had actually paid for it would he be driving it like he was - you work for it, you care for it. It is madness to let a 20 year old behind a car like that and I am only glad he has not been hurt or worse still killed a family coming the other way in his reckless endeavour. My only hope is that in the US the police clamp down on something like that and he has been done for reckless driving and gets a ban as well as a wrecked car. These are not toys and they need respect. What an a$$!

You make some good points (the price of Z4M back home in Australia

$140K). I was amazed at the first local M3 meet I went to in the US - I'm 29 but I felt like everybody's dad! Most people were 17-21 in very modded E46s, bunch of em still live with their parents, and they said 'hella' a lot... But at least they were an entertaining bunch and made me feel like a spring chicken again!

In Australia you see a Bimmer meetup and it's full of 30-50 year olds who've been saving their entire lives for the odd chance that they might get to own their M3 dream car. They then polish it, probably use little brushes to clean out the air vents, and baby it every single day.

Most kids 17-21 in Australia are driving base model domestics which are the same price you guys pay for a used Z4M. Please appreciate and RESPECT the rocketships you all get to own at such an early age with very little experience!

Thanks papa Jambo and Papa Anderson.

Hey Papa Anderson... were you raised before the time of written literature? I am pretty sure all of the points you addressed have been touched upon already in this thread, try reading a little first next time.

No worries little Hawk Boy just thought this was a forum where people could comment but hey sure you have your view and I have mine and as far as I know it is my right to express them. Just for you knowledge literature is the art of written works so the term "written literature" is actually not gramatically correct.

Oh well at least you have got 4th grade English at school tomorrow so you can swot up for next time.

Wow. From one 20 year old to another this comes as quite a shock.

Glad you are ok though.
