I can't decide whether to be super sad that we lost a highly influential figurehead for our hobby or marvel in the way he went out. Life imitating art. The irony broke my nose it hit so hard. Truly tragic though. Condolences to his family and friends.

I'd like to think he'd like to be remembered as a true car enthusiast first, and Brian O'Conner second. I always thought he had awesome taste in cars. When you think about it, he made a healthy living as an actor while acting in movies that brought a hobby he was already passionate about to the lime light. And this turned into an impressive collection of cars. What a fucking sweet gig!!

Love it or hate it, the original F&F movie turned mailing lists into real car forums, ordering parts from magazines turned into an online marketplace and new school hot rodders(ricers to most) were communicating like never before. The movies are perfect in their flaws and corniness and still helped shape our community in many ways.

R.I.P. Paul Walker

Ya, I remember the first FF was massive in theatres. Everyone was into it, the cars were sweet until this happened:

You honestly think the driver WANTED to crash??

One project I worked on, the lead actor wasn't allowed to ride his motorcycle until the end of the production. 'Course, guess what he would always show up to work in.

:rolleyes:

Paul Walker was always on my list of celebrities I'd love to one day meet, not because he was a good actor but because his hobbies coincided with mine and from what I had heard from others in the industry about him being a genuinely good guy to hang out with.

E-SPEC please read the thread from the beginning.

I was told the wrong info! sORRY for my ignorance!

Went to high school with that guy, such a big trash talker.

Regardless of who was passenger or driver, show some fucking respect.

shit. time to buy all the F&F's and store them in a special box. As they will be a reminder of how much that series influenced me into cars.

You were too much awsome Paul

RIP, a lot of sad young celebrity deaths in the last few years but this one really did hit harder and was more of a shocker

Threads merged. No need to have multiple threads going on.

:( sadbears.

RIP... sick car collection too

RIP
Might have to do a Fast & Furious marathon

not sure if anything is reported, but was the driver speeding?

judging by all the various car parts scattered all over the road as seen in the videos, I would assume he was moving at a brisk pace. Apparently there was a video of them driving right before the crash, but that video was deleted right away, so it's speculation at this point whether speed was a factor.
Just by looking at the damage and the aftermath, I would say that they were speeding, given that it's a single vehicle accident and that amount of damage doesn't happen when you go 45mph on a city street, which is what it looks like in the video...

I remember being in elementary school and being into cars at a young age, my sister took me to watch The Fast And The Furious movie. I remember this was the scene that had me thinking this is gonna be such a fucking cool movie :ahwow:

Hey only 6 gears :fullofwin: not 100 on this one lol

those are not his cars. that collection belongs to Robert Himler:
