RIP Paul Walker

Yeah it's too bad. F&F movies are one of my guilty pleasures. I watched the 6th just two days ago.

It's a shame to lose someone like him. I wonder if the man upstairs needs a tune up on a skyline.

The crazy thing is that there was a hoax about his death the day before he actually died. Freaky shit if you ask me!

[TIMMAY!!!]

Really??? That's just too strange. I bet whoever started the hoax feels like an ass now.

R.I.P

Walker's publicist said Sunday the other person in the car was Roger Rodas, a friend of Walker's who owned a sport car dealership.

Walker's publicist said the actor was the passenger, though the sheriff's department did not confirm that.

The Porsche crashed into a light pole and tree and burst into flames. The downed light pole had a speed limit sign of 45 mph.

Rip Buster. Your passion will be missed.

Carerra GT they were in was just about split in half. Can't imagine how fast they were going .

[astrochex]

A Carrera GT does not need much distance to be stupid fast.

Hell no it doesn't. I've seen various opinions on other forums of people defending them saying they may not have been going very fast, that car can be inherently usafe on the street and blah blah blah...

But I've been at enough accident scenes to know what it takes to cause damage like that. And the sign I saw said 35MPH, which was on the pole they took out. Another article I read said the curve they were coming up on had a posted yellow sign (aka suggested speed) of 15MPH.

Either way, yes it sucks, but, if you live dangerously long enough, it will most likely catch up to you.

Personally, I'm waiting for my turn.

One attendee of the event, Jim Torp, said he heard the loud sound of a car's engine revving and then an explosion. Walker and Rodas planned a quick ride, Torp said.

"The last words Paul said to anybody were, 'Hey, I'll be back in five minutes. All right?' And that was it," according to Torp.
