Paul Walker died today in Valencia California. He let a friend drive his Porsche and the guy lost control and hit a tree at high speed...

No it's real. I've seen pictures of LA County Fire spraying water on a red Porsche with center lock wheels... Trying to find the image again now.

I was at this car show today. A real Fast & Furious type crowd. Several newer 911s, some High $$ cars, few old cars, mine being one of them. No one even asked about 914-6...
Paul Walker keeps some of his cars at Always Evolving. They have a concierge service for rich guy cars.
I left before all this happened. Spent a good part of the morning breathing all over this car. It is a real tragedy, he was a really cool guy and just having fun.

Paul Walker was part owner. That would get him a spot or two to park his cars.

Roger Rodas was the CEO of Always Evolving...

Very much true… I live less than 5 minutes up the road from the AE shop and scene of the accident……. Sad deal no matter how you slice it. May he and Rodger Rest In Peace.
