R.I.P Paul Walker

[hi its me alec]

I've cried a lot about this, not uncomfortable sharing that.

MN guys are throwing down on a 75 mile charity cruise this Sunday. So far there are over 600 people expected to attend, people are taking their cars out of storage and whatnot. Just that one thing made my entire day better, I can't wait to see the turnout. The forecasted high is only 14 degrees too.

The silver lining is that he left in his prime and will be forever known at his best, before he stats doing bad movies that tarnish his career. Like if Nicolas Cage disappeared after Gone in 60 Seconds.

If anyone is cracking a joke go fuck yourselves and don't come back.

Had a big ass knot in my throat and fucking tears running down my face. He was true car enthusiast, more than a lot of people on this site.

We all grew up watching Fast and Furious and for most of us it got us into the car scene and modding scene, it fucking sucks to lose someone who is an idol to a lot of us.

All the fucking good people always die young, bullshit world.

Rest In Peace Paul Walker.

^~Motherfucking THIS.

To me, and a few others, it wasn't even about the fnf movies. Paul Walker was a guy who loved cars as much as any normal car guy. He loved skylines and traveled japan to meet the big tuning shops to share his passion and experience it in the flesh, as many of us do. He was always a car guy, even before the movies. Not only that, he shared his wealth by starting a worthy charity with one hell of an idea.

Anyone who knows his background (being a celebrity its hard not to) knows that his ex didn't have a great deal to do with him in the later years, but I feel so sorry for his daughter who moved to cali to live with him. His family have so much support and i'm sure they will pull through this difficult time.

I find it funny how the internet has played such a huge part in the repercussions after his death. people saying that he wouldn't have cared for anyone that he didn't know, people saying that no one cares about Roger Rodas because he wasn't famous etc. The truth is, Paul Walker made it into our homes and lives through the fnf series, a global franchise, and made it into our hearts sharing our passions. Doesn't mean we don't feel bad for Rodas and his family, just means that we will mourn those we feel closer to. We're all human after all. doesn't make it any less frustrating how people think their ignorant opinions about Paul death are valid.

I 100% agree with you HKSpeed about him being the James Dean of our generation.

Probably one of the better explanations I have seen so far, PW being an amazing example and figure for the automotive world. By the way, thanks for the link to the charity.

Every fucking single word Oxer just said.

Even as I read this I chocked up and got teary eyed. It sounds crazy because we didnt know the guy personally but it's like he was a good friend to us. I'm so insanely upset and almost angry that he died. He was an amazing person. It sucks all the fucking good people die young but the scummy ones who doesnt deserve anything get to live another day. Infuriating.

Rest in peace, Paul Walker.
A true hero, in every way!

Every f*cking idiot who hates or make jokes about Paul Walker and his friends tragic death should have this in mind.





The man behind Stanceworks, has these 2 pictures on his Instagram.. If he has respect for Paul Walker and loves his movies, then all u fools making jokes should get a permban from this site..

Oxer, thank you for putting in to words everything that I've been thinking for the last 2 days.

It really blows that he was at a charity show for the Philippine relief effort. I'm half Filipino, and my grandparents were roughly 13km from the eye of the storm, so to hear that he died at an even to raise money to help Filipinos was a real sucker punch.

Its still hard to accept this

Interesting to read the comments on this thread. I'm surprised by how many fans he has. I thought he was just an okay actor whose career was only the Fast and Furious films. The first film came out when I was 23, and it was a poor interpretation of the social import car scene. Sad to see anyone die so young. I guess he's like this generation's James Dean.

"If one day the speed kills me, do not cry because I was smiling." Paul Walker :'(

[SuperMegaDeathRay]

yesterday my girl woke me up with the words "paul walker is dead". i instantly opened my eyes like a bomb exploded next to me and my heart was racing like shit. it made my flesh crawl. and i still don't want to believe mr. walker is dead. like zacne_4 said love or **** the fnf movies. to some they aren't good and worth watching and yeah fnf has some unrealistic scenes and shit but that doesn't make him a bad actor. actually he was a real good one. i liked him as an actor and his movies even though i didn't saw them all yet. he was a charismatic and congenial guy. and as they showed some of walkers moments on the news i shed a few tears. and yes the death of rodas is sad, too, but he was the one who caused the accident. no matter if there was a technical defective as some people say. the fact that he was too fast is the main cause. if he went slower and something gronked out he might have been able to control his car. i **** when shit like this happens. and when i heard they were driving in a porsche i immediately thought about james dean and ryan dunn. they were both killed in porsches, too. and i bet there were more young celebs who were killed in porsches.

i'm curious about how the fnf franchise continues without him. and i really don't know what kind of version of fast7 i want to see. either they will cut him out, let him die or replace him by another actor. at least i don't want none of these three options. cut him out would be like tokyo drift (not a real fnf to me), replace him wouldn't be credible and letting him die would be way too cruel. foremost for his family and friends.

and to the stupid people making jokes of someones death. go kill yourself so we can do jokes about you assholes, what we wouldn't even do because "respect".

I don't post often or better said never, but at this point I just want to say a few things.

This is probably the first time I am genuinely sorry for an actors passing. First Fast and Furious came out in 2001 I was 9 years old, by that point I've already been around cars through video games and mostly because of my father, but that movie was some sort of breaking point for me and my little groupe of friends. In this 12 years since then we all grew up alongside his movies, but always rembered Paul and the rest of the F&F crew (put aside quality of movies, just think about the feeling you had when you watched the movie) so it's sad to see him go so soon, like loosing that cool friend that you never had too much time together but respected him nontheless. And as we are a pretty nostalgic generation it's hard to let something go...

Damn this feelings...and shit.
Or a few beers too much for a monday night (Europe time etc. etc.)

Ride or die.

[Zacne_4]

It's not about the quality of movies he played in (as they are of doubtful quality) but about the trend he started (or the movies he starred in started). But most of all it is about the way he passes away. He passed away while doing what we all do. He was in a car, having fun as we all do. It wasn't even his mistake what killed him.

I was into cars when I saw the firs f&f (and I wasn't really impressed with it). What I was impressed by was this guy who genuinely liked cars and was lucky enough to enjoy them on the big screen. The fact that he was 'a normal', humble guy doing charity run made it even worse to swallow.

So again: RIP
