#FastandFurious #PaulWalker #CraigLieberman
Paul is literally the only “famous person” that has passed that made me genuinely sad. Such a great dude
Steve Irwin
That and Robin Williams.
Anthony Bourdain
wow you guys missed the part were he said "made *ME* genuinely sad"
The whole world cried for Steve Irwin.
You can hear the anger and just dismay in his voice telling this story; always loved Craig especially in the special features of all the early F&F DVDs.
7:03 "Paul was everybody's brother" Sums up everything that's great about him.
And he will be always. Family respects
Paul Walker is the reason I love JDM cars. He is one of the few modern actors that I can honestly say I respected. Miss that man a lot.
Brick mansions and joy ride. He had some other really good movies.
Same here it was because of him and that eclipse that made me buy one as my first sports car and yes sadly I too used to race illegally but I don't race anything anymore seriously. This was an emotional rollercoaster. PS: I never should have let my parents talk me into selling my eclipse GSX it would be worth a fortune now and now it is impossible for me to look at one every time I do I think of Paul
I think Craig said everything I feel about him. 8 years later and It's still hard for me to believe that Paul is not here with us...
Watching F&F is hard now
"Old tires / Cold tires"... two of the most dangerous things on your car. I wish more people kept this mantra in mind.
As someone who has been infatuated with cars ever since I was a toddler, Fast and Furious was my childhood. I'll admit it, I got choked up at the end of Fast 7
If you didn't in some capacity, check your pulse...
I didn't just get choked up, I literally cried!
Absolutely.
Cried for sure. And I had avoided that only Fast movie because I knew the ending was going to be there.
Went to the movies with my mom and my brother to see the 7th movie. The entire theater was sobbing, us included. His death was a massive blow to everyone who loved him and the series... Dare I say if not for that first movie, and his character reminding me so much of my older brother that I looked up to, I probably never would've gotten into cars.
Mom didn't understand why it was a big deal, especially to the car community. Best analogy I ever came up with was our generation's James Dean. Yeah, the movies were corny, and fake, but he/they did the best to make Hollywood happy too.
RIP Paul.
I remember I was visiting my dad for Thanksgiving weekend that year. I saw it on the news but I didn't wanna believe it. Even as time passed and I heard about his autopsy results, watched surveillance video of the crash dozens of times, and heard about how Caleb and Cody were brought in to help finish ff7, I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that he was gone. I started to believe the conspiracy theories about how me might be alive somehow. It wasn't until after I saw the end of ff7 for the first time that it finally sank in. I went home and cried like a baby that night. Paul was my idol growing up ever since I saw 2 fast 2 furious for the first time when I was nine years old and saw him driving that blue and silver R34. I did several school research projects, reports, essays, PowerPoints, etc, about Paul in real life, Brian's character, and the cars he drove in the fast and furious movies. Blue was my favorite color for the longest time. Up until the end of 6th grade I wore white t-shirts almost everyday and pretended to drive his skyline down the hallways at school. For a good year or two I watched 2f2f at least once a week. I wanted to be Paul Walker. I wanted to be Brian O'Connor. I mellowed out as I got continued through middle school and into high school, but I still idolized him. The more I learned about him and what he was like in real life, the more I wanted to meet him. I know they say you shouldn't meet your heroes, but Paul seemed like the exception to that rule. RIP Paul Walker IV. Fly high.
Love how clear Craig talks.
He says what he has to say, no bullshit, just straight.
2fast2furious was actually on some TV channel and I was in my moms room watching on the TV and was away from my laptop/Facebook, once the movie ended I literally went to my laptop, refreshed Facebook, and all the most recently shared posts was that Paul walker died, pretty surreal
Bruhh that how it was for me when MJ died. I was watching a a documentary about him and my mom had tickets to his last tour: shit is surreal
Neat to see you here, I like your builds, man! Hope you're doing well
I was watching TV, they put on fast and furious film but before it started they announced it was a change to their schedule, and was starring the late Paul walker. Was like no way, can't be. Looked online and saw photos of car crash and what had happened :0
Paul Walker's death is one of those things that you want to forget, but you can't because you loved him so much and it's hard to let them go. That night my dad called me and said Paul Walker is dead, and my heart dropped. This is one of those moments where you knew exactly what you were doing when this happened.
No like everyone else who has posted that, no you dont remember where you were when he died
@@bsr8129 yes i do, i was on the phone with my girlfriend and my dad called me so i assumed it was important and it was.
I was in a Skype call with a friend this day. We where talking about his project until I mentioned hearing something about Paul dying and I didn't believe it at first and I thought it was a joke, he looked it up too and confirmed yes he is dead. It was so fucking horrible that I found out the news.. It really hurt man.
My wife & I were driving back to Sacramento from having Thanksgiving in Orange County that early Saturday morning near Magic Mountain off the 5 freeway when we saw the massive Black smoke going up into the sky & we knew it was something big. It wouldn't be until that evening once home in Sacramento when we saw the news & realized we were right there when it happened, a horrible day I will never forget.
Omg that’s crazy to hear bro
In every single racing game that has either a Supra, or R34 Skyline, I always have two of both. One is one that I customized to my liking, the other is the replica of the car that Paul drove, and I always drive them both, as a tribute to Paul, if it weren’t for him, I would not be as into cars as I am today.
I always try to make the tribute Supra
i feel like we all do this one way or another.
@@F0rzamats3r I don't. I just make what I like. I like those styled cars but a poser is enough for me
@@pwnzlikeme some styled cars are ok, and are you saying im a poser
Personally, I gotta have the triples
paul walker also once said “i love my women how i like my tires, 15 years old”
The end of Fast 7 was the hardest I had ever cried in my entire life. I was literally doubled over bawling my eyes out bc in my childhood whenever I was down, I watched one of the FF movies to get my mind off things, so I have seen them together almost 5,000 times. Also when I first saw it, I was a new dad of a newborn son so That tribute literally tore me to shreds.
I remember being in 7th grade when Paul Walker passed away I was heart broken and devastated cause I grow up watching fast and furious movies, although my dad got me into cars Paul Walker was the main reason why I got into tuner cars and JDM he definitely played a big role for me liking cars more and I’ll never forget that he’s definitely is still my inspiration
I make your words mine brother.
He definitely made the Supra and GTR famous.
@@Len_M. he definitely did
I was also in 7th. We lost paul right as he was becoming the star we knew he could be. Buster for life.
To this day, *EVERY* *SINGLE* *TIME* someone says Paul was responsible, I *ALWAYS* remind them that Paul wasn't the driver, and that Rodas (a pro race car driver) WAS, and that the car they were in was not only on cold, old tires, but was already a hard-to-handle car as-is.
His death has impacted so many car enthusiasts, myself included, more than some actual relatives or people I may know.
Paul is the reason I watched the FF franchise. The last 2 I’ve only seen once with no intention of seeing again but fast 5 and 6 I can watch over and over again
Also another great Paul movie: Running Scared
I still remember seeing the news at the arcade with some friends. My buddy had just got his s2000 and we all brought all cars then we heard the tv while playing. We just stopped playing and sat in the parking lot and said nothing it was a very sad night. Took me a month to grieve. Paul was the car guy we all loved even if we had never met each other.
How did the fast and furious community react to paul walker’s death? Over here in Brisbane Australia we had a memorial cruise, which was absolutely the biggest car cruise i have ever seen, we had every venue we went to was over filled with thousands of cars flowing out onto the streets for kilometres, we had police escorts in groups up the motorway with people watching on bridges and overpasses. Was absolutely incredible and to this day have never seen anything like it in the car community.
Rest in Peace Paul Walker you absolute legend
That sounds amazing.
I remember exactly where I was when I heard he died and it shocked me
anyone else get the chills hearing this story ? RIP Paul Walker
As a car guy this is one celebrity death that shook me, while not on the level that Earnhardt dying did. But different, because any one of us could have died that same way doing the things we’ve all done…
November 30, 2013 turned into one of the WORST days of my life after hearing about him passing away. It’s crazy because when I found out about the crash I was in the middle of watching Dom and Brian race in the end of the first movie on TV. Then I flip to the news during a commercial break then bam, I saw it. I was 13 at the time and it’s kinda sad to think about how the world moves on after you’re gone. RIP Brother🙏🏿😖
The man was the reason I loved JDM cars like the Supra, Skyline, and 3000GT
Paul walkers history of dating underage girls isn’t talked about enough
I really love Craig and feel like him and Paul are similar in their integrity and compassion.
I wish I had known about him years ago when I was younger so I could learn about all the cool things that happened behind the scenes of fast and furious.
If he wasn't a celebrity the news would have reported how wreckless and irresponsible the event was.
Well, too bad he wasn't behind the wheel, he'd prolly still be here.
He died on my 14th birthday I’m 21 now 🤯
Still can’t listen to see you again without tearing up
I've told people, dad introduced me to cars but Paul Walker made me love them.
He's the reason I kept going at my lowest points and even when he's gone, he still is what I strive to be for others. He got me into JDM cars (although I have yet to buy one) and love both the R34 and the MKIV. No doubt about it the first F&F movie made me love both JDM and American Muscle, but Paul Walker made me love the cars and the people.
Thank you, Paul. Rest in peace brother. Ride safe. We'll meet sometime soon.
“I still get chokes when I talk about him”
Pretty much sums up all my thoughts 💭 😩🥺 Damn it’s been so long and still I’m getting teary eyed while writing this comment😢. R.I.P Legend ❤️
I think Rogers wife tried suing Porsche
You can’t sue car manufacturers if you drive recklessly and as lad sad on old tyres. Especially on CGT you need skills to enjoy it
The Carrera GT Is known for being a tricky car to drive and yes it's wrong to go after car manufacturers just because you decided to drive Recklessly when you are behind the wheel you are responsible for not only yourself but you're passenger
And things happened on public place with not enough room for error.
If for some reason going to race track is not doable, then at least some large empty parking lot could do, right?
Both families sued. Porsche basically said they were both aware of the risk they were taking.
@@Blackout_1692 old tires were the main factor.
I was on a short break with my wife in Keywest when I heard about the sad news. I will never forget where I was.
I know where I was when Kennedy died.
I was in my 74 Coupe de Ville when John Bonham died and John Lennon died.
This was definitely one of those you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing at the time moments. I had just gotten here to Japan and one of my friends in the states called me in the middle of the night and I thought it was a sick hoax at first.
I was in basic training on a Sunday they told us over the intercom like " Paul walker died so you can go pray to the God you believe in"
Not trying to be mean or hate on anyone... he was a cool guy and he was loved for sure but he was mainly loved for what? Like 3 movies?) . It's not like Jackie Chan or Robin Williams died that I grew up on and seen in dozens of movies. Yes. We all miss Paul but I think his legacy and death are a tad bit overhyped. (I am aware Jackie is still alive)
That tends to fade as more of your heroes die in your lifetime.
Definitely don't remember where I was.
@@CSOCSO He was B list at best.
Nope. I don’t remember
I love hearing someone say they ditched cable tv. Screw Amazon as the sponsor. Rest in Peace Paul. Live life to the fullest. You never know if today will be your last. Do not fear death. It is not the end.
So sad. My hero since my 20s. I'm 41 now.
The car culture would be a different place if Paul was still around.
I was with my then girlfriend and we were getting ready for bed, I remember going on Facebook and kept seeing #rememberthebuster, and i was like what? Then I found it. I was shocked, he seemed bigger than life and brought the car scene to the forefront. I remember seeing the end of Furious 7 in theatre, I cried.
yea still makes me tear up when i watch it
yea still makes me tear up when i watch it
Watched Fast 7 in the theater and was crying like a baby when they did the montage. I still get choked up when I watch the ending of 7. 😢😢
I remember I was in high school and my sister called me and told me, literally felt like I lost a family member. Fast forward 10 years later, my cousin and I loved watching these movies together, he passed away a few months ago, my cousin and Paul share the same birthday. Crazy how things come full circle. I just know they’re laughing it up together, where ever they are
I was on Instagram one night and ive seen a post about his passing. No one really new until i searched it up and it was confirmed. I was hoping it was a lie. Best believe i cried myself to sleep for days.
Paul also should be commended for all the charity work he did it!!! Paul we miss you every day🙏🙏🙏
When I heard the news, I was really shocked
My parents told me about what happened and it’s just really heartbreaking
RIP Paul and my condolences to his family and friends
its rare to meet people in Hollywood who dont lose their head after becoming a start. I do agree that old rubber or cold rubber rule gotta be followed always and that this could of been avoided
I just watched f9 the other day. The only thing I liked was how they included everyone from all the series but after Tokyo drift it went far away from what car guys love the racing and the cars
Excellent one VINWIKI! You'll never forget! Be safe everyone! 🤘TEXAS!!!
Paul is one of the worst losses our car community lost way too soon:) Mr. Paul Walker RIP
I still every November remember Paul. I still think about him daily and if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be into cars the way I am today. Paul Walker was more than everyone’s brother. He was that and their hero. I know I can’t be the only one who looked up to that man. Paul Walker will forever be missed… 11/30/13 RIP.
Sad story, Tokyo drift was the still the only one of them that was a car movie though
How is Tokyo Drift any more a car movie than part one? I understand what you are getting at, they are action movies and the directors have all said that from the beginning but the original is just as much a car movie as Tokyo
Hollywood is packaging for the masses.
Pretty sure very few movie producers are TRUE car guys.
They have to hire people in to get the details right, just to ignore them, to get the right "look"..
It's still just entertainment for the whole, not the tiny % niche enthusiast to buy a ticket.
Meanwhile, It was a flop when compared to other movies in the franchise and if I'm not mistaken we're not talking about any of the movies were talking about *Paul*
I still remember I was sitting in a timhortons eating breakfast in 2013 when I looked over at the end of my table to see a newspaper with Paul’s face on the front cover saying that he had lost his life in a car crash. I still have a picture on my phone to this day of that newspaper and I’ll never forget it. Rip Paul you’ll forever be my idol❤️
Just got back from school when news broke out. I've lost one of my childhood heroes at that time and I didn't know how to react.
I still get goosebumps hearing Paul died
Hand over heart.
"For Paul"
Classic VinWiki story.
Is anyone else clicking the like button before viewing the video?
Always
Is there any other way?
@@Black_Jesus3005 I don’t think there is
San Antonio Car Meets had a Paul Walker Tribute meetup and Cruise, and we literally had several thousand people show up, shut down an entire mall area, and we took over loop 1604 just thousands of cars racing all over the city and revving, was truly amazing.
"Old tires, cold tires" is something that will always be in the back of my head.
I keep tribute decals on every one of my vehicles since dec 2013. I look at the quote everyday and thank Paul for every thing he’s done for us in the car community, truly a massive loss to all of us
"Remember the Buster" That's the one I have.
@@michaeldean2252 mines the outline of the carerra GT with the quote “if one day the speed kills me, do not cry as I was smiling” true words to live by
My boss at the time had a friend who owned a building right near the crash site. According to his cameras they were doing laps around that block, hitting the turn faster each time until like the 10th lap.
Woah?!! Seriously?
I still think they should have killed his character off in a more respectful, realistic way, via car crash. He loved them, lived in them, and died in them. Respect.
Paul did so much humanitarian work that hardly anyone knows or talks about.
The man was a beacon of humanity. Not to mention he ushered in an entire generation of new car guys.
Rest in peace Paul.
So fucking sad I remember hearing the news
I'm watching this in my car he inspired me to get
It was about 11 at night it was a hot and humid night in Texas, my mom 2 sisters and I went to pick up our uncle from his restaurant job and we where sitting in the car at a street next to the restaurant scrolling through my phone when I saw the news, I was about 13 and I was devastated, truly never will forget that moment
In my opinion, the car scene and gatherings went pretty much died right after Paul Walkers death. We were all close together to pay tribute to him when we heard the news (especially when the last F&F movie he stared in released in theaters) but after that, it went downhill ever since. Nowhere near the same anymore. I go to a couple local town car shows, and that’s really it. So many different things ruined it.
He’ll always be missed 🙏🏽
He cannot be replaced.
He did have us, and always will.
I hated that day. Girl I was seeing got back with her ex, auburn beat my alma mater with that kick six bullshit, and then I go to Facebook to vent and it’s all stories about my hero dying in a violent car accident.
I remember seeing a twitter post one of my friends made that said something along the lines of: RIP Paul Walker He died Fast and Furious. Someone had responded saying it was a hoax and that one of his associates or agents or something said he wasn’t dead. RIP
I cried like Paul was my own brother, he really felt like that to me. I was 13
Paul Walker is, was, and always will be my hero. I remember what I was doing when it happened. RIP Paul Walker
@@xabhax what does this have to do with people reacting to his death?
Wasn't Sean Lee going to get in that car, but gave his seat to PW?
*edit: clearly didn't watch the vid all the way through.
One thing I hope Vin Wiki with Car Trek and everything take away from this is the cannonball runs and all that are fun, and think in control until you hit some marbles and take out somebody else.
Responsible driving isnt protecting yourself, it is about protecting those in and around you car when something unforseen happens. Enjoy driving, but do it at your risk, not anothers.
I know what your saying but at the same time, don't leave your house then, people are gonna have negative impacts on those around them even when not trying to, it's life shitty things happen, yes it's avoidable sometimes, other times it's not, just enjoy your life and be cautious and vigilant of your surroundings and you'd be fine.
@@GamerMarine89 It isnt about risk elimination, it is about risk mitigation, also known as due dilligence. Enjoy your life, but not to the extent you create a significant hazard for others. Is why while I like and appreciate exotic and hypercars? The illegal time run cannonballers I dislike. That is because it is usage of vehicles in a public environment in such a way it is creating hazard and risk to others beyond what is reasonable and exceeding the margins for safety.
Yes, accidents happen. The limits and safety factors as such designed so that in normal circumstances, no permanent injuries occur in an incident. Even if your vehicle is designed to take an impact on the track, a car that pulls out in front cause are doing 150 in a 70 might not be.
ATGATT, cause if/when I crash my bike? Then the next day I can go out riding still.
And that is the unfortunate take away. Craig and other can say "was gravel on the road, but also said it, "should have known better" Cause you cant enjoy anything when you are permanently impaired or dead. And this story? It wasnt PW's fault either.
@@russelljacob7955 I mean yes but at the same time you seem like a real blast at parties 😂
@@GamerMarine89 Oh, I am! But that is cause I arrange for a ride home if I am planning on heading home! I just put the limits at waking up the neighbours.
Man I can’t believe it’s been almost 8 years ago. I still remember it like it happened yesterday. It’s a sad reminder that life is unfair and cruel sometimes.
Having known him, not as well as a buddy who was one of his best friends though, makes me think how awful it must be for celebs to be reminded of friends dying nonstop forever. Every time a video pops up, it bugs. I don’t comment on any well known person, but like he said, anyone but Paul. Nicest, coolest, down to earth, person ever. Just happy tho hang out with him and talk surfing, Santa Barbara cara, his truck, fam, etc. drive by his old house all the time. not super close to him like other friends and hesitant ever post this for neg. comments but man… every week, there’s still a video and I think it must be hard for fam and closest friends.
That empty chair in the party. I felt that.
Paul is the reason why I now own a Skyline. The passion for the platform all came from him
R34 GTT?
Fast and Furious 1/2 and NFS Underground 1/2 are the reason why im obsessed with cars, IT hit hard when the news came trough
Paul Walker was such an influence for me as a kid!... I could say that got into Car culture because of him!
I used to watch The first and second Fast and Furious movies so often, without even knowing English.
I would even admit that I learned the language watching those movies as a kid.
Paul is the reason we named our son Walker. I also refer to him as Buster!
😎❤
Paul’s death hit hard for me. I like many others can trace back my obsession with cars right back to paul. Rest easy.
Paul's death was probably one of the saddest moments of my life. He was my hero. My idol and envy. I may have been born when the Fast and Furious came to be, but when my dad popped in the 2 fast 2 furious DVD and i see Brian's GTR flying and winning the race, that point on he bacame my childhood hero and i did not know at the time it was the second movie i was watching. Soon after I eventually watched the first fast and right after my dad surprised me with a toyota supra model car and surprisingly in good condition its still sitting in my display. I could say i have Spider-Man and the incredible Hulk as my childhood super heroes but really its my Dad and Paul walker that were really my favorite heroes growing up. Reasons I really love cars and speed is because of those two amazing people that I'm proud to call my heroes. When i found out Paul had passed, it was just pure sadness i felt now that I know I'm not gonna meet him, but sure enough he still lives in my heart and we hope to see him at the finish line one day.
Oh man, this ripped open some old wounds.. Miss you Paul!!!
At the end of fast and furious 7 WE ALL CRIED OUR HEARTS OUT 😭
RIP PAUL 😭
My dad has Steve McQueen. I'm glad I have Paul Walker.
I think the series has run it’s course, they tried without Paul, and it’s just not the same.
They should stop, before they run it into the ground
This is going to be the #1 Vinwiki video, I'm calling it.
"Anybody but Paul" might be the harshest thing to say but you can't blame a man for speaking the truth.
I felt like I lost friend
Thanks for sharing your storie about Paul Walker he will always be missed by the Fast and the Furious community....R.I.P. Paul Walker
Paul Walker and Kobe Bryant are the two people that I have never met, that their death has truly saddened me, til this day.
No chinges way.
Hey, Mr.Lierberman was this his eulogy cause you spoke it with sooo much HEART.. #FORPAUL
I remember the day we learned Paul died. Was in The Berkshires Resort in MA. Just had checked in and my kids turned the TV on and it was all over the news. My daughters sat there in silence, and my wife and I were just as shocked.
Biggest car meet in Chicago history happened in Schaumburg after he died. People backed up all the way up to the high way and on the ramps on the highway. Was insane. I'll never forget it. RIP Paul
RIP Paul
At about 0:31 Craig kind of sounded like a turbo blow of valve... coincidence? 🤔
More like a fluttering turbine without a BOV
peter brock dying really fucked me up, sold my torana a week before he died, could of swapped it for a fucking house now,
Great pictures of Paul, Ed.
Love the Supra pics
I still remember when I heard the news... I went outside to my Mazdaspeed6 to be alone.. I'm glad to say I didn't cry though. It just started raining inside the car... Hate when that happens
