    I guess this is how The Skulls finally get revenge on Caleb Mandrake.

    In all seriousness...RIP to one of my wives crushes.

    Saw at least one report that he wasn't driving. He was a passenger. The driver was also killed.

    Makes me sick. I used to work at a bureau in Brooksville, Fla., where Eagles DE Jerome Brown wrapped his Corvette ZR-1 around a tree, killing himself and a young boy in the passenger seat. Looks like it's unclear whether or not Walker was driving, but someone was very likely feeling invincible in a car that, while high-performance, isn't idiot-proof.

    Sad news. He seemed to be one of those guys who was the "next big thing" at one time, then others came along who became bigger. Glad he achieved success in the Fast and Furious franchise though.

    Haven't seen any Fast & Furious movies but I saw a picture of him and immediately remembered him from She's All That. As I read up on him, it appears he was a really good guy who didn't let Hollywood go to his head. The world can't afford to lose too many good people. This definitely sucks.

    Sheriff's department did not confirm that.

    So the fact that multiple news agencies and sources have stated that Roger Rodus was driving is meaningless?
    You made the opinion that Paul Walker was a reckless driver. Please show the source for that since you want to deal with cold, hard facts.
    Racing for Redline Time Attack doesn't make one reckless.

    Very sad. In the middle of filming Fast and Furious 7 too...

    That franchise is such a machine that it makes you wonder if they keep going.

    That model of sports car, with a rear engine, is also harder to control.
