| Reckless Subaru Boy Racer Learns the Hard Way that Public Roads are Not Racetracks Posted: 01 Jun 2013 09:04 PM PDT  Unfortunately, for regular drivers minding their own business, sometimes they share the road with so-called boy-racers who mistake public streets for Need for Speed video game stages.

The latest cars they managed to get their hands on is a 2013 BMW M5. However, it's not the mainstream version with the eight-cog self-shifting transmission – this one has the six-speed manual.
