Still in shock RIP Paul Walker

Aside from the original fast and the furious, I've always gone to every sequel on opening night for the past 12 years. Every car guy shows up and the atmosphere in the parking lot was great after the film, people revving and shit.

RIP

Extremely ironic, but dying like this has solidified him as an icon even more

We saw it at the movie theaters, we even made threads about when it was going to be shown on TV, and we all have quoted lines from the movie.

I was lucky to meet him at SEMA. A genuine car nut and all around good guy.

RIP

I remember seeing F&F1 at Silver City in Richmond (when it was pretty new still) the audience was SO excited for the movie.. The atmosphere was more like the experience before a big NHL game or something, it wasn't just going to the movies for most of the people there

Paul walker is a celebrity that so many car enthusiasts my age feel a bit more connected to due to the f+f being a huge formative part of my love for cars. He seemed like such a cool guy in interviews and had kind of this non-celeb personality. Always fumbling to articulate his thoughts of how grateful he was and it all just seemed so unrehearsed which is the opposite of so many celebs. After following him since being such a part of my car interest it just solidified my thoughts of how cool he was after seeing how passionate he truly was about cars, and just life in general. The fact this all went down at a charity event adds even more to the clarity of his character. Also him being such a vocal fan of the e36 m3 was this sort off validation for me, knowing the guy who I have thought was this cool car guy for the last 12 years would be beside me on a freeway, and give a thumbs up, from behind the wheel of a 250k supercar one day, and a 13k accessible everyman sports car the next day. Its unfortunate to lose someone much too young, even though we didn't know him, I'd say he was part of a lot of our lives. He did what so many people in hollywood NEVER do. Just stay themselves.
RIP Paul.

I would have never been into cars if it wasn't for him. I know the 'family' thing in F&F is gimmicky and whatnot but he isn't a celebrity to me. I actually feel like I lost part of the family, maybe because of the shared love in cars or that I looked up to him from such a young age. I'll miss you Paul...RIP

Well said. He's one of the few celebrities who realized where he came from, and respected people who hadn't "made it" yet.

Paul Walker as I will remember him: a hero in the motoring world, a diehard enthusiast and most importantly, a die hard NISSAN enthusiast.

RIP Brother.
