And definitely this!

RIP Paul Walker and Roger Rodas

(From a big Fast and the Furious fan!)

[AngryRB]

sad day, he was great in those fnf movies, showed the skyline off like a pioneer.. feels real empty knowing he's gone..

[GTR-N1]

Even in other car forums people are displaying that shot of PW next to his BsB R34.

[Swole]

+1 very sad news

I only saw this a week or so ago, And thought what a mad dude RIP buddy

This brought so many feels.

The influence Paul had on my love for Skylines will always be there.

He had a BSB 34?

I thought this was his VS2, pictured here with his S15

Cars were stored at AE Performance, from whence Paul and Rogas were leaving at the time of the crash.

Rodas is CEO of AE, pretty sure Walker had a stake in the place too.

Some more info on Roger Rodas (http://www.autoweek.com/article/20131201/CARNEWS/131209999)

Sadly Rodas leaves behind a wife and two kids, Walker too has a single 15 year old daughter

I remember going to see the first Fast and Furious movie at the cinemas as a teenager in 2001, thinking I wonder how blasphemous and unrealistic hollywood and its actors can portray the import scene (by this age I was already a huge GTR nut :I ). Paul proved me wrong. RIP mate. The first movie left a lasting impression

+1. Ryan Dunn (Jackass movie actor) also killed in 2011 in a GT3 - burst into flames.

I think Lambo's and Fezza's have the same tendency.

and the guy from Rush aswell. Fix ya shit porsche!

[RBN1]

Fuel tank at the front on these things I take it? I guess the coming investigation will shed more light on this over the coming weeks.

quote from the news

Meanwhile, preliminary investigations have revealed that mechanical failure could have led to the crash that killed Walker and another man.

The likely cause of the failure that triggered the crash has been identified as a powering steering fluid leak.

"Walker and another man" fkn serious? Find out the name of "another man". Shit reporting there.

[XGTRX]

Tmz said that witnesses saw loss of traction in a straight line and what seemed to be loss of steering that couldn't be corrected....something Rodas would not let happen if it wasn't a mechanical failure.

The thing couldn't be steered.

Fluid was seen all the way from the point of loss of control to point of impact.

Tragic.

I'm Shattered.

this is a little intense but here is the raw footage caught on camera

"Walker and another man"? A bit disrespectful to the other victim. Both bled the same colour blood yet only one was shown the courtesy and respect of being named.

Just because Paul was famous he got the main story... I looked up to Paul. Sad to see him gone. But Rodgers family lost a father, son, husband, grandchild and yet no one care... Makes me sad

Thats not cool at all ^^ Horrible to think he could have been saved

For me, for sure the saddest celebrity death I can remember. Watching that 'Mines' video sums it up for me. He seemed like he was just a regular car loving guy, that just so happened to get into movies, and never really changed. Def taken way to early

I'm still in shock. It's taken a while for it all to sink in for me. If it wasn't for this man and the entire F&F series i'd still be driving around in a bunky commodore laying single peggers everywhere.

The JDM scene and car enthusiasts everywhere have lost a true icon. My condolences go out to his and Roger Rodas' Family and Friends.

RIP The Both Of You.
