RIP Paul Walker

Killed in a car crash taking a buddy for a spin. Hope God gives you a 10 second car in heaven.

Very sad and what pisses me off more is that he lost his life due to the irresponsible and reckless driving of another person (apparently Walker was a passenger in a friend's car during the crash).

I'm really curious to find out officially who wS the driver. I think we would all assume he wasn't driving

RIP. Funny how a $100 tree can beat a $100,000 car (though I admit I dont know what model of Porsche it was).

So sad. He was there attending an event for his charity to benefit the victims in the Philippines. Rip Paul Walker. He was just too young.

He has a 15 year old daughter and he was attending a charity event for the Phillipines.



EDIT:
Images from the wreck, it's crazy to see how small the tree was and yet the how much damage was caused...

Paul was a huge philanthropist and started his own charity organization in 2010 for natural disaster victims world wide. Also one of a few celebrities that received almost no negative press from doing stupid shit. He was a huge car enthusiast, and an amazing individual. RIP Paul, you will be greatly missed in showbiz, auto world and as a father and friend...

RIP Paul, be sorely missed in future F&F installments.

The GT is not an easy car to drive at the limit. This is what Clarkson said about it, skip to 5 minute mark.
