Default RIP Paul Walker

I know its not F.I. but it's F.I. related. Cuz F&F had lotz o boosted cars. Like it or hate it you warched The Fast and Furious series.


On November 30, 2013, at roughly 3:30 PM, Paul Walker and a companion were driving in*Valencia, Santa Clarita, California, when the red Porsche they were in swung out of control and crashed into a light pole and tree.*The car immediately exploded and burst into flames.*The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department declared two deceased at the scene.*


For those who dont know that area is full of nice twisties.

RIP Paul!!

If I had to go, I think it would be nice to go giving a Carrera GT all kinds of hell.
RIP Paul.

What really sucks, I just watched some vid of the car just after it wrecked & caught on fire.

Seems there were several people at the scene, but no heroes.

Ya it really is a shame no one could step up to do something. When they took the video that fire was no where near big enough to stop me from trying to go help. The first fnf is the reason I am in to cars

paul and his friend were only like 4 or 5 miles away from RPM Motors. They must have been going in for a turbo install.

Just kidding... just kidding... no seriously sucks that paul is gone so early. Im really interested to know the details behind the crash.

I actually never have watched any of those movies (I was big in the Import scene and that movie absolutely ruined the Import scene.)

Its sad but if you are going to play with a car like that you have to accept the responsibilities attached to it.

Default sad

just truly devastating news...one of the coolest actors...and to pass cause of a joyride with a bonehead....sad...if you look closely at the video...it looks like somebody was trying to get out of the car...truly heartbreaking....words cant describe the sadness of this guys passing....I am gonna miss this guy...he was a real car guy..some people that met him ...apparently all he wanted to talk about was cars. he liked vettes too. really makes you think about all the other stuff in life...makes so much of else seem so trivial.

its sad once someone pointed out it looked like someone trying to get out was even more heartbreaking but I can only pray that the black fog from the flames was just smoke and that he went peacefully. also you never hear screams while the car is burning is why I hold hope he went peacefully.

enjoying his movies for nearly 15 years and making it feel like someone you knew.worse part is he is someone I could relate with in everyway. loved cars and always had fun with cars.
