Well I am 32 and considering average life expectancy in the US is 76 for men, he was essentially at the halway point. The very definition of the word young means an early stage of life. Regardless you can define young however you want but 40 isn't it and it certainly isn't extremely dumb. So keep your insults to yourself.

He was a few years older than me and to be slapped in the face with the reality of how fragile life can be has really affected me for some reason.  I was with two friends last night that I don't see nearly enough and after a few drinks we of course discussed making a point of getting together more often and after reading about Walker passing away I immediately picked up the phone and made concrete plans to get together again.  Life is too short.

Obviously this is sad, but the selfish part in me is pissed because I love the Fast and Furious films. Clearly the next movie will be delayed until 2015 and they will have to reshoot the entire thing.

Ugh. Just more bad news today.

A Carerra GT is a very fast car, and if someone is not experienced with it, the rear end can get out of control quickly.  Jay Leno almost wasted one at the track when they first came out about 05. 

40 is still pretty young...especially for Walker who had it all going for him.  I enjoyed the film Joyride back in the day...

...I was on campus for my summer job with ITD in 2001 and the girl I was dating at the time took me to see "The Fast & The Furious" for my birthday even though she wasn't into cars at all. I like cars so I found it and most of the sequels hugely entertaining.

 

RIP
