RIP Paul Walker

OFF TOPIC: Didn't know him personally, but he appeared to be a cool dude and an avid auto enthusiast. He died driving a Porsche in Santa Clarita, Ca.

An actor who didn't act like a blowhard actor. RIP

car_fan · 11-30-2013, 10:06 PM

My understanding is that Carerra GT's are pretty raw and can be tricky handlers..mid engined, RWD, light weight and 600 +hp , I'm sure we'll get more details fairly soon...

BIGW0RM · 11-30-2013, 10:07 PM

RIP PW. He was a patient where my sister worked and she always said he was a very well mannered and likable guy. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

Conzyo · 11-30-2013, 10:08 PM

So sad. RIP

This is why you don't ever trust ANYONE driving your car, especially if it is a "fast car".... Nobody will respect its power like its owner.

Someone who has been given the opportunity to drive a Porsche Carrera GT is going to do one thing and one thing only, try to drive the shit out of it knowing they'll most likely never drive one again.

Absolutely tragic. He was my favorite. Rest in Peace.
