Oh Yeah
Its a shame really about his passing. Those fast n furious movies are great. He was a good dude who did alot of humanitarian work. He was down to earth unlike some of the other stars in hollywood. He actually worked at ups in california when he was younger. I took it like wow that really sux dude. Young man too at 40 and had a 15 year old daughter. RIP Paul you will be missed bro. :dissapointed:

From my automotive background I was curious as to why, I found the story about the auto
that this person was in as a passenger.

The Porsche Carerra GT.

The sports car has a top speed of 208 mph, a very high-revving V10 engine and more than
600 horsepower, said Eddie Alterman, editor-in-chief of Car and Driver magazine.

Todd Trimble, an exotic car mechanic in Las Vegas, said the
Carrera GT is a "very hard car to drive."

Brand new, the car costs $450,000.
An oil change alone costs $900, Trimble said.

Porsche made only about 1,300 Carreras GTs.

The Carrera GT is also unusual because it has no electronic stability control.

That means it's unforgiving with mistakes.

Very sad.

They have a big reputation as being a car that's a handful.

Pass the barf bag! Speaking as somebody who endured a mere 3% burn area, I would not WANT to survive that. Extremely nasty way to go.
