In a stupid 120 mph wreck on the runway of a private "air-park" community in Florida. (Same one Travolta has a house in btw).

OCALA - The high-performance BMW carrying five young men toward their deaths on Jan. 26 was roaring down the airstrip at Greystone Airport at a speed of at least 120 mph before it left the end of the runway, sailed 200 feet through the air and slammed into a fence and three trees.


That was the conclusion listed in a Florida Highway Patrol report released Monday about the single-vehicle crash in north Marion County.


FHP spokesman Lt. Mike Burroughs said the investigation continues. His agency is interviewing dozens of people who may have information about the crash.


Authorities say Joshua D. Ammirato, 18, was driving the BMW M5 down the 1.5-milelong airstrip, which is inside Jumbolair Aviation Estates in Anthony.
Burroughs said 120 mph was the minimum speed the car was traveling before the driver hit the brakes. He braked for two to three seconds and the car veered sideways.


The car rotated clockwise as it left the end of the paved runway, overturned and went airborne.


It sailed over an 85-foot dip toward trees 200 feet away.


The car first struck a wire fence and tree, according to the report. The right side then struck a second tree, shearing the vehicle in two. Then the rear section struck a third tree. The driver and all four passengers were ejected, according to the report.






You might be sad but dismiss this and say what the fuck is an 18 yr old doing driving an $80,000 high performance car and forget about it.

That is, until you read where he posted on the M5Board asking for tips on how to shift gears at 140. It's strange.
