@SPLiFFY...yeah, I dont want to jump to conclusions...the only solid facts we have so far from ABC and CNN is he and a friend were on their way to host a charity event and he was the passenger...both lost their lives.

I feel like I lost someone close to me as well. Funny too that I was just at Wal-Mart earlier today and saw Fast 6 was coming out December 10th and thought- I cant wait for Fast 7. . .

Same here, I was looking last night at Walmart and I saw the series of movies for sale and I was thinking about when Fast 7 will come out. That's the only series in production that keeps on being amazing just as the first one... I actually was just looking up things again to see if it was a hoax or not.. Part of me just wants to believe this is fake..

But cmon now.. look at that car. You can't tell me they were travelling at a normal speed and that happened. but then again it goes back to me not being there LOL. I had the worst thought in my mind. I was like.. what if his funeral looks like the one for Letty with all those sick rides there. I know, I'm horrible.

WHY CAN'T THIS BE LIKE IN THE MOVIE WHEN LETTY HAD "DIED" BUT SHE WAS ALIVE.

I'm in denial

The first Fast & the Furious was on basic cable tonight and I watched about 10 minutes of it. Still unreal that Paul is gone. RIP.

such sad news to hear. and for all the car lovers, addicts, and even racers just remember life is so short sometimes and the need for speed in our beautiful Lexus isn't always needed sometimes slow motion isn't bad. Please be careful on these roads.
RIP Paul walker

The information has been confirmed on his official fan page.

This is one hell of a blow to the tuner community and fans of the FnF franchise world wide.

-Mr. Klean
I feel the same way. It was if a family member was lost. I remember seeing a video where Paul was driving the LFA. I'm still in shock that Paul Walker pasted away...
