The person driving wasn't a bonehead. He was a professional racer. I don't think a Carrera GT is a very forgiving car to drive either. You can't beat the odds forever.

^. This, The Carrera GT is not a forgiving car by any means... Both Jay Leno and The Stig almost bit the dust in a Carrera GT. Leno and Jeremy Clarkson said it is a difficult car to drive even for the professionals.

He seemed like a really cool guy. I'm not a huge fan of the Fast & Furious series but they are entertaining and certainly have had a few cool cars. Paul was a huge car guy. RIP

That's one of the things that made paul cool was that he was genuinely into cars.

He did other movies besides the F&F series. Varsity Blues, Takers just to name a two as well as being on the discovery Chanel helping tag Great white sharks. Nice guy.

The crash site is about a 1/2 mile from my office. You can't get anywhere near it right now. It has been non stop traffic since the accident. Cars parked on street for at least 100-150 yards.
I left work tonight at 7:30, they had Sherriff cars and helicopters clearing out the traffic.

I tried to go there on Sunday to get a look at skid marks and see if I could tell what happened. Packed with people. More of the same tonight.

I think that all of those cars have ohio plates because they're not his. I also think That's a video created just to get hits. Look at the publisher of the video and the date published and the description which can be used as key words in a search.

maybe he kept sll his cars registered in ohio to avoid smog checks.

I'm sure the crowds will be long gone by the time you pick your car up. Should be good for a burnout by then.

Would be cool if years down the road people still show up and do burnouts in that spot.

Its sad but if you are going to play with a car like that you have to accept the responsibilities attached to it.
How did F&F ruin the import scene? The first few movies were heavily biased towards imports. Paul was a HUGE import fan. I believe the EVO in the second movie was his personal car even.
