ugh

My first reaction is, "dead as in Lil Wayne dead?"

The circumstances of his death are ironic....Still...I am sorry for his families loss.

Stupid girls that I went to high school with, changing their profile pics to his picture - commenting on how "yummy" he was and not how sad it is that he died.

Totally classless. I hate people sometimes.

Good Lord!

That was a major impact.

You hate to see anybody go like that. Still, part of me is thankful that he didn't hit anybody else.

I'd say the crash was cause of death not the flames. I can't imagine anyone surviving that impact.

I thought the same thing. That was just one hell of an impact.

I wonder how fast he was going when he lost control.

Was he driving? I thought I'd heard it was a friend's porsche and the friend was driving. Either way it's sad. Too young.

You're right. He was a passenger.

guess the pic explains why they are using dental records to identify the remains

Furiously Fast. That thing exploded at impact.

Tragic and unfortunate, but my sympathy needle isn't too high on this one. This wasn't cancer or a school shooting or whatever. Drive like a hot-shot maniac and you're willingly playing with fire, not to mention endangering people around you.

Crazy. I was watching the last F&F when it happened. RIP.

120 if I'm not mistaken. I guess there's a reason they've refused to release the driver's name, for the family's sake. I'm pretty pissed at the driver for his carelessness. Too bad a Porche is nothing more than a fiberglass P.O.S. with an okay engine. I mean, that little tree should've been mowed right over. Instead it crumpled that junk car into a box.

I think you mean Corvette dude. Corvettes are fiberglass.

Look at that car... Anything made of SOME metal would have taken that little tree down... Maybe the Porche is made with aluminum foil.

I saw a sheet metal & tube frame cop car plow into a similarly sized tree at 100mph this summer... similar damage. Similar death.

I didn't see it in a single newspaper or news broadcast, however, and I looked.

Had he been in a truck, that tree would be gone. Not the point though, I understand what you're saying, and that driver shouldn't have been going so fast...

*I still think Porches, Corvettes, Lambos, Farraris, etc are piece of sh*ts...

The car was reportedly last listed for $359,000. One driver told Autoweek that handling the vehicle was "scary" even for pro drivers.

Paul Walker died in a fiery car crash on Saturday in Santa Clarita, Calif., at age 40. He was the passenger in what local authorities said was a red 2005 Porsche Carrera GT involved in a single-car accident that claimed his life along with that of the driver, reportedly identified as Roger Rodas.


Rodas had been a Merrill Lynch financial advisor at The Rodas Group and owner of Always Evolving, a specialty car dealership located in Valencia, Calif.

According to Autoweek, the vehicle that Rodas had been driving had been acquired by Always Evolving in the spring of 2013 after being bought and sold by multiple owners over the past several years. When the car was last offered for sale it listed for $359,000, the magazine reported.
