Amen to that.

RIP

A buddy sent me the pic of his body after the accident. It isn't pretty, I'm sure if you google it you can find it. Very sad indeed, feel like a big chunk of my childhood just died because the original movie started it all for me. RIP

Still can't believe it, probably never will

djaemac · 12-01-2013, 01:52 PM

Just as everyone stated above me, he was the reason my passion for cars existed. The first FnF inspired everyone and all people alike. He will be missed by many. Rest in Peach Paul.

3000GT MR · 12-01-2013, 01:56 PM

I wonder how many people actually died from reenacting their "idol".

westchester335i · 12-01-2013, 02:06 PM

I grew up watching FnF and I still remember the day I watched the first FnF, very said news. RIP Paul Walker you will be missed.

On another note I find it pretty sad how an actors death is such big news. My IG/Facebook has gone crazy over this seems like everyone is posting about this but no one seemed to care about the Phillipines typhoon which claimed 5500 people. What about on the other side of the world where thousands die everyday? We all live in a strange world IMO. Social media/hollywood has taken over our lives. Food for thought?

CJ421 · 12-01-2013, 02:12 PM

I was watching The Fast and The Furious on TV when I found out. RIP Paul. You'll be missed.

I say they are lucky they didn't kill anyone else.

I did meet PW at the track a couple times and spoke with him = gracious, nice guy

I agree but PW is blameless in this case as he was the passenger. His idiot friend in the driver's seat is to blame.

The speed limit on that road was 45 MPH and police confirmed that speed was definitely a factor. The idiot driver was probably doing 70+.

Maybe they'll stop making those shit FF movies eh? Remember when they were about the underground racing scene before turning into yet another heist movie? Remember that? Pepperidge Farms remembers...

bimmer-boy · 12-01-2013, 03:02 PM

Rip Paul walker
Met him a few years back, very chilled out and laid back guy. I will never forget the way he spoke. Exactly the same as he did in the fast and furious (maybe the role was naturally his)..
Blessed to have met him, and I pray his family and daughter get through this very sad time

The world feels a lesser place without him

God bless

Sad loss.

Dark_Knight_335 · 12-01-2013, 03:06 PM

I blame the FF series for all these fucking ricers clogging up our roadways and driving us bat shit with their shitty fart can exhausts, obnoxious ground effects kits and body kits and "hellaflush" stances.

I saw a civic on the parkway the other day with this fucking wheels turned so far outwards it was practically running on the inner part of the tire - what the fuck is the point? Did all of these assclowns eat paint chips as kids?

I have one right across the street from me that wakes me up every fucking morning with his bullshit exhaust- it rattles the goddamn windows it's so loud.

Of course he idles for like 20 minutes too - real douche. I'm going to whack his head in with a tire iron one of these days...

I read it first thing in the morning
very sad news for a guy that was always with a big smile.
died from one of his 2 big passions, cars.
too bad

I can't imagine how would be the result of a cheaper car, if the porsche looked liked this bad...

FF had nothing to do with the stance scene, just sayin.

cipher5 · 12-01-2013, 03:51 PM

I'm sure speed has some of it to play in the crash, but the explosion itself was attributed to a gas line right in front of the tree/pole they struck. I hope they did not suffer as they passed. RIP to both individuals.

Game · 12-01-2013, 03:58 PM

Very depressing. The first F&F movie was primarily what got me into the car scene.

RIP Paul Walker.

This.

I've always enjoyed the movies for what they are, entertainment. They certainly aren't a how-to on being a badass street racer, nor is there any technological accuracy to real-life (28 speed gearboxes).

FrozenM3nace · 12-01-2013, 04:03 PM

Paul and Roger owners of AE Performance were driving their Carrera GT to the charity event where they crashed near the event. When I heard this I didnt believe it and now it's just tragic

stance and camber don't have any connection with f&f though

Litos · 12-01-2013, 04:39 PM

I told my wife that I read that filming for FF7 was put on hold for now.
