Yeah, he definitely developed into a much better actor over the years.. he was so awkward in the first FF movie.. (didn't stop me from watching it 3 times in theater - back when being "rice" was in..) RIP
a lot of people making baseless assumptions in this thread.
rip paul walker. i didn't know him or anything but i enjoyed many of his movies, even though he sucked at acting initially.
This really sucks...
RIP Paul. Fast and Furious movies were always fun to watch.
And I really hope the idiots who trolled in this thread get banned. You can't make a single thread without the usual group of idiots ruining it. Not just joking, ruining it.
Give me the hammer, I'll do it.
I agree. The membership of this forum is really disappointing sometimes - some people here suffer from an unholy combination of narcissism, questionable social skills and a pathological need for attention.
Does the gas line have to do with this explosion or did the car just explode?
A ton of actors have charities set up. It's a great way to avoid taxes using "charitable" write-offs while that charity only really uses a dime on the dollar for what was intended. It's a very common tactic among celebrities.
Before you go heralding him as some kind of saint, you owe it to yourself to look into the truth behind these celeb charity events and organizations.

I think public shame should be enough. Ya they will just reroll and be even bigger trolls.....
what bothers me the most is the veiled justifications that deaths and things like this bring on the forum. Someone gets shot. GEE ITS A thread about banning guns. Child gets stabbed. GEE SHOULD HAVE HAD A GUN. What I wish would happen is mods changing privileges like banning people who do this from specific forums.. Be a troll in atot. Treated like a child.
Really sad. Guy was known to be a good guy. Guy was at a charity event. Guy wasnt even driving. Hooning a Carrerra GT isnt the smartest thing in the world but I have done much worse. From the looks of it they couldnt have been going very fast. That car is known for snap oversteer at low speeds. Car is much more stable at speed. They arent drift cars.
just sad.

Isn't that a similar car to what killed James Dean?
I hear you about people and the internet, but I don't think that car got ripped to shreds like that traveling at low speed. Whatever they were doing, they caused a massive wreck and a conflagration on a public road. That just doesn't happen out of the blue with no other vehicles involved. So, RIP and all, but the guy's no hero as far as I'm concerned. People who pull that shit on public roads should have their licenses revoked permanently.
Paul wasn't driving.
You don't seriously think they were only driving 35mph do you?
Plus, like someone else said the car was likely torn in half by the fire department in order to get the bodies out (they likely melted to the seats...).
Plus fire alone can do a ton of damage to a car.
Another thing to keep in mind, a lot of high end cars are actually built in two main sections and then bolted or otherwise connected, usually right about the firewall between the cockpit and the engine bay. The Veyron for instance is held together by a surprisingly small number of screws in this manner.

The Enzo also was similar (remember several years back when some rich former tech industry guy wrecked one and it broke in half).
No, but it's hard to believe he was an unwilling participant.
