Default R.I.P actor Paul Walker

http://m.nydailynews.com/1.1533786

Was riding in his friends Porsche, they hit'ed a tree or post and got on fire.. Both died in the car..

Must have been 2 fast, 2 furios...

Sorry about the (bad) joke, but had to say...

To die cause of someone else mistake is a true tragedy. That's a shame.

Thoughts for his family he left behind. For a 15 year old girl to lose her father breaks my heart.

if your gonna try to be funny at least spell it correctly and don't try putting the blame on being European.

Vince, I'd admid that is was a bad joke and I acknowledge that this is sad sad matter to many but do you really thing that no one else has post that yet.

And are you really pointing me about misspelling, well good for you. I think you actually did it because I am European.

How many yankee have you corrected about misspelling.

Just start reading this forum through.. I'm not the only one for sure.

But thank you for pointing that out, Vince!!

Yeah, that's pretty tragic, for his daughter. Even worse though, the accident happened only a half mile from where they were holding a charity event. It was at the drivers shop called Always Evolving Performance Motors. People there heard the crash and responded to the accident. The drivers 8 year old son climbed over a fence and tried to get his dad out of the burning car.

I know his friend was a race car driver, but those Porsche GT's are very dangerous cars. They are hard to drive they get loose very easy.
There have been alot if those cars totalled.

Wasn't Jackass actor Ryan Dunn driving a Porsche GT also when he crashed and died? Ironically, it was a tree he hit too when he died.

I met Paul Walker a few months ago while on the set of FF7. He was a real nice guy. RIP
