Such a tragedy. Having a charitable function with a car meet- that can pretty much sum up his life. Always giving back and helping others, all the while having cars surround him. The guy was a class act, and a true asset to the car scene. May you rest in peace, Paul Walker.

what breaks my heart is that he was giving to the community, helping the states and country that was destroyed by these natural disaster. He was also living with a daughter and now she is left alone. God took this man early because he has done his part on being a supportive and a great human being. RIP and condolence goes out to everyone that's effected by this.

Super sad and he seemed like a giving, warm-hearted person. I'd estimate a security video camera caught this and will surface in a day or two. It's on a heavy commercial-industrial street. And speaking of the area, my dad just dropped off our RV a block away about an hour before. Hate ironies like that.

Let me first day rip Paul! I also know very little to anything about the certain car they were in. But dosnt anyone think an ex race car driver would have had better control of a car especially someone with a racing back round?
I'm going to assume the car is or was made out of carbon fiber? That tree it hit isn't that impressive to inflict that much damage. Why or how could have it burst into flames? Was it on 100 octane fuel? You would think that porsha could have designed better closed fuel systems for their 100k+ cars? Just dosnt make a whole lot of sense to me that nick hogan can destroy his car and do crazy damage in an older supra then walk away. Also that his supra was modified ,but yet you have a factory built race car and it explodes like a 70's gremlin?
I just don't get it?

I just don't get how a very experienced driver on a perfectly clear afternoon with no other cars around could lose control of a car so tragically. This is a very odd case.

That's what in trying to figure out my self. Did a quick read on wiki about the car. Had no idea it was a mid engine porsha. So the gas tank was in the rear behind the V10? It's hard to get an accurate layout on a car they only imported like 1200 of. I will say that it is impressively built,but I no idea on what made it engulf it's self in flames from just hitting a tree...

You guys bring up some very valid points about the driver being experienced and the road being clear. I guess this goes to show that driving experience has nothing to do with accidents. No one is invulnerable. I can't help but constantly search the net looking for updates.
There are some cruel pics out there though poking fun at Paul dying "fast and furious" but he really did have an ironic death.
On his facebook memorial page people were cruel enough to post pics of Paul's face after the accident :'(
I'm actually mad that he had to die in a stupid Porsche. :\ See now if it were JDM it would have been a different story :x
I was thinking about a sticker for my car also but I'm not that creative yet. If you guys do it, post it! The tuner world will never be the same
Idk what else to say. Sounds stupid but I kept on waking up through the night hoping it was fake He is such a great actor and role model. Sad that he left behind a daughter and poor Roger has a family also
FnF is pretty much gone now. There is NO ONE who can replace O'Conner.
If there is one thing I've learned, its that a person can never truly die because they live on in the hearts of those whose lives they touched.
And for the rest of you...
LOW AND SLOW GUYS. THAT'S THE TEMPO. D:
Be safe everyone and I hope we get a better glimpse of what REALLY happened.
