R.I.P Paul Walker

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

[Oxer]

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.

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.

Its still hard to accept this

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.

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..

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.

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.

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.

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.

[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.

Thanks guys. I could expand on many aspects, but i feel that what i said people can expand upon in their own minds. He definitely wont be forgotten.

Rest in peace, Paul Walker.

I was seriously tempted to ban people within the first page of this thread, but at the end of the day people are entitled to their opinion. not only that, majority of us have made it clear that anyone joking about it is a fuckhead and will be made example of.

what strikes me as odd is that when Amy Whinehouse died, meme's and funniez couldn't be posted fast enough. Although i think she touched far more people with her music then Walker did with his F&F movies.
And now it's considered bad/or frowned upon, only because this dude acted in shitty car movies and was a car dude?

Talk about double standards

RIP - sucks when any person passes away.

him and vin did make the FnF series what they are today (as cheesy as they have become) and if anyone tells you that it wasn't the shit back in 2001 you have every right to backhand slap them.

someone said that he traveled around the world to see tuner shops and such... reminded me of this vid.

You talk about double standards while having a go at people mourning a loss of an idol while having a fucking scene from a fnf movie in your sig.

THATS a fucking double standard.
