Surprisingly, I am alive.

^ uh that was completely uncalled for, immature, and deserves to be deleted from this thread.

i for one am siding with the OP.

the fact that all those people are returning and have to say the obligatory "i TOLD you so!! haha" comment from the other thread is completely unnecessary. its been said and he dont have to pull out your e-weiner to prove you were right.

he made a valid argument in the previous thread, and he was asking you people for you opinion. now it is apparent that he was wrong (in this one isolated incident). The police say he was hitting 180kmh, while the other post said that he went only about 10-20mph faster than the flow of traffic.

I also ran a poll here on neowin a couple of weeks ago whether speeding was truly safer or not. Look at the majority of the responses and almost everyone admitted they went up an average of 10mph above the limit.

What you CAN do, is offer you condolences and advise him to be safer next time. Your jerked out attitude and shoving the fact that you were right is completely inappropriate at this time. The M5 was a different story as it was a huge mistake and act of negligence on BOTH the parents and teenagers part.

HA! If only he had died. Visit this thread for instant irony.
lol ...

i think he did it to get on tv .. everyone wants their 5 minutes :p

oh yeah, you're that mexican ****er that was proud of driving too fast...serves you well

Tough love.

Well at least you came out the otherside matee! I'm sure this experience will shake you up something fierce and will really drive the message home (excuse the pun.)

I was in an accident 2 1/2 months ago. my friend was driving though and 3 cars got totaled. My friend was on life support. I had absolutely nothing wrong with me except for 1 small bruise on my right arm. I bent the car door to get out because the car was smoking and I thought the damn thing was going to catch on fire. I literally called a friend and got a ride home while everyone else was getting taken away in ambulances. (i posted all of this in my neowin blog already)

Car accidents are crazy when you are in them, but if you get out unhurt it's a really strange feeling. I can't even explain it.

But anyways, sucks you were in an accident. But based off of the stuff you say here on neowin none of us are very surprised.

^ uh that was completely uncalled for.

i for one am siding with the OP.

uncalled for? don't expect me to feel sympathy or respect for someone who was always boasting about his speeding. Too many innocent, young people die on the streets every day because of stupid people like the OP. If he wants to play with his life, fine, he can go kill himself on a closed racetrack, not on public streets. If you kill someone because you were speeding you are a murderer, as simple as that.

And even this topic looks more like a cry for attention or at least some kind of morbid feeling of being proud. His 5 minutes of fame, i don't have the feeling he learned his lesson.

The M5 was a different story as it was a huge mistake and act of negligence on BOTH the parents and teenagers part.

So your another one that thinks the parents should get blamed as well. The fault is entirely in the hands of the dead teenager, no one else.

not that part, the part about reffering to his race. honestly, what does that have to do with his driving habits?

you know what the sentence was reffering to.

So your another one that thinks the parents should get blamed as well. The fault is entirely in the hands of the dead teenager, no one else.

yes i do. is there a problem?

the person supplying the weapon is equally guilty as the person who uses it.

personally, i dont think its the parents fault that they GAVE him the car, its just that their parenting and how they brought him up.

and to those that are saying "dont gave him his fame" honestly, what is so boastful about, oh yeah i was a total douche and had no control over my car and ended up crashing, totalling my car, and going to the hospital. seriously, guys chill for a moment.

Thankfully you made it out in one piece. I really feel like saying "good for you" but I've learned from past experience that it doesn't add anything positive to any situation. Drive safe next time.

not that part, the part about reffering to his race. honestly, what does that have to do with his driving habits?

i wasn't referring to his race :s, i called him a mexican, just as i would call someone from my country a belgian. what's wrong with that? As far as i know nationality doesn't equal race and mexican isn't a bad word. at least not where i come from

Your attitude suggested you were a danger on the roads. Obviously you've proven that assumption correct.

It's pathetic that it had to come to a crash like this for you to 'learn your lesson' - although the amount of ignorance you've displayed so far makes this yet to be seen...

I'm only glad nobody was hurt.

P.S. Your YouTube videos are not getting any hits from me. :no:

exactly, if this is all he has to be proud of and think it justifies his ignorance to think 'speeding' is safe..then he needs to visit a real morturary and have a lay on one of them slabs...because it won't be long with his attitude.....in fact this thread is becomeing a mirror of that 18yr olds MI5.

and in my opinion from observing your other post about how you like to weave in and out of traffic speeding..i hardly think anyone ran you off the road....again i mentioned earlier that im glad you didn't have serious injuries.

Edited by jwjw1

man what is with bmw's and wrecks this month. this is the 3rd one. my friend was just in an accident this week and messed up his m3. although it was not nearly as bad as your wreck. he was going only 30-40 mph when he wrecked. glad you are alright man, its all that matters.

I don't remember anyone on these forums who drives as recklessly as I used to, but if there is one or a lurker somewhere, I hope you can take this as a lesson and not be an idiot like I was because you may not be so lucky to be able to come back here and post about it.

The only reason I'm still alive is the complete randomness of the perfectly orchestrated events that happened during the crash. Which I don't think is a coincidence.

It was a coincidence, and you're just lucky.

    • Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.
    • Winhance 26.06.12 by Razvan Serea Winhance is an open-source Windows enhancement utility designed to help users debloat, optimize, and customize Windows 10 and 11. It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools. Users can tweak power plans, adjust gaming and performance settings, control notifications, and manage Windows Update behavior. Privacy-focused settings allow you to limit telemetry and data collection, while system customization options let you personalize the taskbar, Start menu, Explorer, and Windows themes. Winhance also supports installing or removing software efficiently, including external apps via WinGet integration, streamlining both new setups and daily maintenance. New AI privacy groups have been added for Windows AI, Microsoft Edge AI, and Microsoft Office AI, giving users clearer control over AI-related telemetry and feature usage. In addition, new settings in Gaming & Performance introduce AI taskbar pin toggles, options to remove AI apps, and controls for AI services and scheduled tasks, allowing users to better manage how AI components run in the background and appear in the system. For advanced users and IT professionals, Winhance integrates WIMUtil, a tool for creating custom Windows installation ISOs with automated configuration. You can generate autounattend.xml files, inject drivers, and apply your chosen Winhance settings automatically during installation. Most changes are non-destructive and reversible, with clear explanations in the GUI. Whether you’re optimizing a single PC or managing multiple systems, Winhance delivers a faster, cleaner, and highly personalized Windows experience. The Winhance.Installer.exe includes both Installable and Portable versions during setup. Winhance supports both Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit versions. It's regularly updated to ensure compatibility with the latest Windows updates and features. Winhance key features: Debloat Windows – Safely remove unwanted apps, features, and legacy components.

Automation with WIMUtil – Create custom Windows ISOs with integrated settings. Autounattend.xml Generator – Automate Windows installations with preconfigured options. Driver Integration – Include current system drivers in custom ISOs. Non-Destructive Changes – Reversible settings with clear explanations in the GUI. Winhance 26.06.12 changelog: Features Builder Mode — build a Winhance config file or autounattend.xml without changing anything on the PC you're sitting at. Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page — the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History — Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support — Winhance is now available in 29 languages. New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup. New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom — press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent — error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features — they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.

    • Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.
