[kano]

RIP i was into modifying cars before the F and F films but the films did bring modifying to the masses all over the world.

I want a house built out of that wood. Those trees are tiny and they're unscathed.

Wood is stronger than many give it credit for. The Portland Cement Association financed a study in 2000 that found out that wood out performed steel in structural loads in an earthquake.

It seems that Walker was a victim of a new car owners showing off. I'm sure Walkers background as the 'fast and furious' star caused the friend to show the car off in a risky way.

    They didn't say who was driving did they? If walker was a passenger the Jokes on here are unconscionable.

His friend was a professional race car driver.

The fundraiser and toy drive took place at Rodas' custom car shop, Always Evolving, in an area of warehouses and office parks. Rodas, 38, and Walker co-owned an auto racing team. Rodas competed in 10 Pirelli World Challenge GTS races this year, the racing organization said in a statement.

   If he was a professional race driver he should have known not to take chances with a street car. Even when suited up in a fire suit and a car equipped with a roll cage and fire suppression systems people still are killed in racing, a very serious sport.

I can imagine the last words in the car: Now you'll experience first hand what you let your stuntmen do in the movies.

Latest gossip tells that splashes of hydraulic fluid were found on the travel path of the car before the collision. Manufacturing defect is suspected, or sabotage as the car was very rarely driven.

Power steering malfunction would have veered the car out of control.

must be the same trees we have in the game

I hydroplanes into a tree three years ago about that size, almost killed me too. The fire department took over 30 minutes cutting me out of my car. I was on 95 south in VA, hit a puddle and flew off the road.

Trees beat steel every time.

They completed it. I understand he was not your typical Hollywood sweetheartr and was genuinely good dude. Had a 14 year old daughter i understand.

all in all a sad day for many. Let us not forget the driver.

All I know a child hood hero has passed.
