Default A baby seat in the rear of the M3?......If BMW had quattro would this have happened?

Sad to see, a bad combo of power and probable lacking driver skills, with a dash of cockiness maybe?
Sucks to see a nice car mangled like that, but thankful noone was seriously hurt, aside from ego's.

Glad they are safe. Beyond that: no comment.

Default When I do my group drives...

I always lead the drives and keep the speeds at a moderate pace to try to ensure safety. I also prefer to keep it mostly/entirely TTs, because I think that when you have too many different vehicles in the mix, their owners can get too competitive.

Unfortunate that this happened, but I'm glad everyone's okay. I feel pretty confident that you'll never see pics like this posted which resulted from one of the SoCal TT Club rallies. Safety has got to come first.
