Paul Walker will definitely be missed. He gave us memorable movies and his memory will live on. Clearly a great talent with a huge heart who can not be replaced.

Im not sure how to put it, but its annoying that the media and everyone else is all RIP Paul Walker and act like there wasn't a second person in the car.

Oh, and the Carrera GT that was crashed, reportedly belonged to Roger, the driver. I also read that the car had been sold along with another car. I would image they set to have some fun but not over do it. Keep in mind, neither of these guys were inexperienced. Both have raced in either amateur or professional racing events. It goes to show you can't take a fast car lightly. These vehicles DEMAND respect, and when you don't respect them, you pay. |

Was what we were doing illegal? Without a doubt. Was it safe? Absolutely not. But we all knew the risks involved and did what we could to try and keep it as safe as possible. But all good thing come to an end right? Enter the first Fast film and a zillion nutbags with Hondas and any other econobox suddenly felt they had race cars. It didn't take long for the idiots to start crashing and hurting people. Before we knew it, new anti-street racing laws were passed and now if you get caught racing in LA county, you may find yourself watching your car get crushed. I hope that everyone has a little more respect for the power you harness anytime you get behind the wheel of a 3000 pound missile. It doesn't matter if it is a Porsche, Mustang, Camaro, Corvette or Subaru, these cars can and will hurt you and others the moment you don't respect them. Once again my condolences to the fans, friends and families of both Roger and Paul. These were family men putting on a charity event for those less fortunate and contributing to the communities they cared about. |

I'd like to get political and try and get support and funding for this, but I have this thing called common sense and in our state if you use that you are likely to end up in Pelican Bay. But I'm not talking drag strips only, my idea is a motorsports park. Drag strip, skid pad, even a small road course or enough paved area to set up for auto crossing and drifting (I threw up in my mouth as I typed this but I don't want to discriminate). Basically a car Valhalla for enthusiasts to enjoy. There would be a fee of course, but I'm thinking $20-$30. And try to staff the park with as many volunteers as possible. The facilities could also be used for car shows, boat shows, RV shows or any other event that could help the municipality recoup their investment. The facility could also be used for hazardous waste collection and recycling points where on designated days people could drop off old/broken electronics, dead batteries, waste oil all the things that shouldn't go in a land fill. Have the place be open to the public on Friday evenings and weekends for racing/practice and coordinate with the community for during the week usage for non racing activities. It could also be used by local school districts for defensive driving courses for new drivers in conjunction with their drivers ed classes. The more I think about it, the list of potential uses and community services are nearly endless. Calling my state representative today so I can be marginalized and laughed at. |

Im not going to flip through pages and pages of a thread to read what everyone has to say. They both lost their lives and should both be treated with respect. However, it shouldn't be some guy getting crazy media coverage because he was in the Fast and Furious while the other guy goes unnoticed since he wasn't famous.

+10000000000000 Those of you that feel the need to butt-in everywhere and try to trump the significance of someone's death by claiming that "soldiers die everyday and no one cares" should be ashamed of yourselves. People of all walks of life die everyday, many far more tragic than that of a soldier. It's not that we don't care. As flyinlow stated, it's very difficult to feel grief for someone who's name you never knew, soldier or otherwise. There's a time and place to mourn for our fallen service men and women, but this isn't it. The case was very different for Paul Walker. Of course the vast majority of people that mourned his death probably never even met the man in person. However, the connection he made with gear heads (via the f&f movies and Always Evolving) didn't require a personal relationship.
