Paul Walker dies in a car crash.

I think you have to watch the movie in order to get it. Unless you want a spoiler.

At some point, I will wind up watching it. So, I'll decline the extra information for now.

Resulting to insulting my intelligence now I see, classy.

I guess I did start the smartass remarks, I tend to get that way when I get dragged into yet another pointless argument on this site.

I didn't drag you into anything. It was not a personal attack at you, just a request to not post TMZ because they continue to hound the family.

Apparently my point went over your head again. I just posted a couple links. I do not work for TMZ or am affiliated with them in any way. I do not know the Walker family and live over 2,100 miles away so clearly I am not the one pounding on their door looking for stories. Sorry, can't help you.

I have gotten likes on some of the link posts I put here so some on here are interested in reading them. You don't like them? Don't click them. If your so sickened by the continuation of this story, why enter this thread?

There is no point to get because you're attempting make an argument out of something that was never directed at you personally. I don't know how it is that for the third time, your thick skull can't grasp the statement that I didn't click the links & that it is not the story I'm disgusted by, but the way TMZ reports every single move Paul's family makes.

You can skip clicking the quote button this time as well. Judging by your last posts, I already have an idea that it will yet be repeating the others because you chose to make an argument by being a smartass.

The Mustang Nismo was a stroke of Genius. It ripped into the BS notion American Muscle is better than JDM and vise versa. it was like a metaphor for Racial Acceptance, a White American who adapted to Asian Culture, and integrated it into his own identity.

I get that, but you completely missed the point about American Muscle.

Muscle cars in general reflect the attitude of the country who built them. For example, to name a few, if you have a Toyota Levin, you generally attribute to the drifter lifestyle of Japan, that is if the car can speak for you. American muscle, like the Mustang and the Camaro, are drag and super speedway racers, and finally, Mercedes and other European Muscle cars tend to race circuit.

The point is that most technology that is in those cars today are developed from the racing scene in their home countries. And simply putting a engine from one discipline into another from a completely different racing culture, even if the owner of said car is having a cultural identity crisis, should be considered pure sacrilege.

But I feel that we are getting off topic.

I think this thread is for discussing about Paul Walkers death. This one is for F7

A bit extreme:

Locals don't want to do it however.

 

[nk4e]

It does seem a bit extreme.

 

[Northstar]

I can definitely see why the locals don't want it done, would you really want to live by/on a road named for the people who died on it?

 

[Slash]

It's a memorial. I'd be cool about it.

What a nonsense.

It does sound a bit extreme, but I wouldn't care too much about it but, I can see why the residents don't want it to be renamed.

Give them a small memorial on the place of the accident, that's more than enough. If it was a non famous person who crashed the way they did everyone would have been screaming about the idiot that went with high speed through a residential area.

Not really a residential area though.

Doesn't matter. Still Darwin award material.

How Walker wasn't driving the car...I still don't get how he is to blame but okay...

Who mentioned Walker? I said "them".

 

[FiftyBelowZero]

NOOOOOOOO
Good news: I heard Bieber the other day, saying he's going to give up his singing career
Bad news: He may replace Paul Walker for F&F7!

I'd either retire Brian from the series, or replace Paul Walker with Justin Timberlake.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Which would include Walker, since "them" usually implicates more than one person...

Darwin awards should go to people that do stupid stuff and get killed before they can reproduce.

Driving fast supercars may be stupid and get you killed, but you're probably going to do lots of reproducing on the way.

This situation fits quite well into the Darwin award category.

There is nothing wrong with driving a supercar fast. The stupid part is that they did it on a road that isn't made for it, otherwise they would have probably survived it. Lamp posts and trees aren't safety barriers, even though they help you to stop.

It is sad that they died, but in the end it is the drivers fault, he went way over the speed limit, and as the situation shows, there was nothing there to help them come to a safe stop from what still seems to be 100mph or more.

I still would like to know where people are getting these numbers of 100 or 100+

Just look at the wreckage. That isn't a 50mph crash.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

No one said it was and that isn't the point, you looking at a wreck after fire damage especially and gleaming that it's gotta be nothing short of a 100mph is ignorant. Once again why not wait until the real report gets finished?

 

[Dennisch]

It is simple. Look beyond the fire damage. Look at how large the wreck site is. Parts flew far and wide. Those are all things that make quite obvious the speed was way to high.

I've been a mechanic long enough to see what happens to cars that hit objects at different speeds. Even expensive cars like this one. I've seen it enough. And I know people could get killed at lower speeds, but shows a different kind of wreckage.

I've been witness to wrecks that are at highway speed an parts get scattered quite far too, should I jump to the conclusion that everyone driving was doing 100 or in excess of it? Your measuring of the speed isn't scientific at all and as such shouldn't be said in a way as if it is absolute. Can you prove it or measure to show how you got to that conclusion? For that last few weeks all you've done is constant banter with little to show for it on this subject.

Yeah and I've done enough welding with destructive and non destructive testing of various metals to see how they react in various conditions, along with the engineering back ground that I'm gaining and have gotten to apply.

When you work at a garage that works on the cars of the richest people in the Netherlands, you are bound to see some stupid things happen with cars. Especially when said rich people have more money than brains. That is were I get my real world experience from. The same goes for the location of the garage, close to one of the deadliest roads in the Netherlands at that time.

And if you read my post again, I said it seems a 100mph or more crash. That is what I see. We all jump to conclusions, but I do have a bit of experience to back my conclusions up.
