The BMW M3 gives you a lot of confidence behind the wheel. In this case little Billy (or whatever his name is) had more confidence in his E46 M3 then the laws of physics allowed for. It looks like the front wheels got light going over the crest of the hill and he failed to increase steering angle or really do much to attempt to correct before slamming into the rocks. Thankfully, thought the wonders of GoPro, we can all enjoy his spectacular failure. I can't say I'm surprised at the outcome, young driver and a high powered M3 is a recipe for an accident. I'm just glad he wasn't hurt.

Driver Description:
"Well it happened at South Mountain park in Phoenix AZ. One of my buddies and I were out just having fun and driving until I came up on a deceptive corner, misjudged it and it happened. No injuries. The car was a total loss. Misjudgment of the road caused the accident."

Watch an E92 M3 Driver getting it wrong in the rain

M3, sigh

It appears that he neglected one of the Cardinal Rules of driving fast:

"Always look *where you want to go*....if you look off into the weeds, that`s exactly where you`ll end up"....

Waste of a perfectly good car....:thumbdwn:

One of the things they teach you in the MSF course, is the yellow line is a cliff and you DO NOT cross it. This kid crossed it on blind curves several times. When he went off, it looked to me like classic target fixation; he didn't seem to try to correct at all.
I say it's a good thing he wadded it up on his own and hopefully a parent will take away his keys until he learns a little responsibility and car control.

You beat me to it. Great minds...

Where is that kid who was dogging me some months ago about me saying his parents were morons for buying him an M3? I rest my case.

 

[Fast Bob]

You beat me to it. Great minds drink alike...

Now, where`s our beers ?

Fool never even tried to take the curve in my opinion. Between the way he was driving(looked like an 8 year old that didnt know how to drive a golf cart let alone a car), the way he looked after the wreck etc, the salesman who sold his parents that car for him to drive should be shot, often.....

As for the parents? Perfect example of why some people should be force sterilized :flame:

I'm really impressed with the camera mount. Most fly off with that sort of impact.

Basically, the idiot kid overdrove his vision - he couldn't see that the road dropped away and turned at the same time. Cars don't turn or brake well (or at all) when the suspension is unloaded. Give the age, he also probably didn't understand car dynamics well, as his style looks more suited to video games (crossing over the middle line, etc).

roflmao, that was too good.

 

[MalibuMafiaV]

I don't even see how you could crash right there.... it's on flat ground. What in the hell? lol. Glad hes ok though.

 

[blchandl2]

He was lucky to keep it on the wheels. He took a pretty big bounce when he hit the rocks.

Exactly, what I'm wondering as well. Kids!

yes, but in video games you get unlimited "do overs"

 

[One28i]

Glad he is okay, where is the reset button?

 

[marlin1881]

That airbag inflated REALLY fast! Yep, he took his eyes off the road at exactly the wrong time, as he didn't see it, or try to correct out of it.

 

[WileECoyote]

Don't worry, he earned enough for an extra life.

So, did he show his parents that video? He definitely got fixated, but what I find more disturbing was his seating position - the seat back's too far away and he was using his shoulders to steer. Very little control whatsoever.

:banghead::banghead:

 

[Rocky_Charles4]

lol that hill was so deceptive. I didn't even see that coming. But the kid didn't even think twice to slow it down or stay in his lane. Man, That hurts. . .

He should be thanking God that it didn't flip over.
