handgrenaide Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 The first Fast and Furious is an instant classic. One of the greatest movies ever. Also I'm extremely jealous he was with Jessica Alba into the blue. So you can't say he wasn't a great man. r.i.p Paul Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 We are comparing two totally separate realms here, racing, with flame retardant race jackets and cars that have a roll cage, fire extinguishers made to automatically activate at certain temperatures and all the supervision in the world is totally different than a celebrity ride with a pro driver (BTW most people who love cars wouldve hopped in without question because of this fact alone) and not only was he going fast on the street but his power steering FAILED, you need 2 people 4 hands to turn a car at 20mph with no power steering, imagine the speed they were traveling... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can't say he wasn't a great man. r.i.p Paul Walker noone is he is not a good dude but what they did was pure ego recklessness. Tracks are build for racing commercial roads are build to take you from point a to point be not for racing of any type for you never know what may sirprize you a tree a pole a person crossing the street stop lights etc. Keep racing on the racing track and everything will be ok. Had they take their egos and all that horses to a track they might they wrecked but May has lived and go home to their families or maybe it was just the way they wanted to go out minus the pole and tree?

Guest Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 And Chris's big wreck was due to the motor failing leading to the spin... that's the difference when you play on the street versus on a track. I was showing what happens when you do things in a PROPER environment versus the street.. and what Fast and Furious has long glorified. Also it's a misnomer that Rodas was a pro, in professional racing you have PAID drivers and PAYING drivers. The PAID guys are just that, they are paid to be there... whether it be free car and consumables or car, consumables and salary. The PAYING (as was Rodas) are gentlemen racers who have a lot of money and the ability to run the professional series in question, whether they are drivers worth a damned or not is another question altogether.

At the end of the day. No racing in commercial street whether you a pro driver or regular driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 My favorite record store closed, and then later that night I read that Paul Walker died..November 30th will forever be a sad day for me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schroll04 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 This is so true! Most of them don’t know about him. I will share this post with as many people as possible. Driving has always made me feel better but was pressed against DUI charges once. Thankfully, a very good Los Angeles DUI attorney helped me to get out of trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
