Maybe I just grew up differently. I was 5 years old playing in my uncles shop. The old school alcohol dragster was kept in the back stall. I was 4 when I went to my first drag race. I grew up with hot rods all around me. I think Smokey and the Bandit may have been my first car movie but I was a car kid before I ever remember watching a movie. I remember never leaving the house when I was really young without a Hot Wheels in each hand. I'm sorry this guy died but Vin Diesel would have been way more traumatic. Just saying.

As Al assumes the role of an older generation... to another younger generation.

We can't all be as old as you Charlie.
I just think the FAF movies should have been all filmed in Japan and had Kung Fu and voice overs. Jet Li and David Caradine would have been great.

Ah, but 50's is the best decade. You're not retirement decade yet, plus you have all the accumulated wisdom from all that stupid stuff in your 20's & 30's, and paid for all the divorces in your 40's.

I like the Vin Diesel movies. Great action, great stunts!

The bad thing is F&F encouraged flash mobs, street racing, and fart cans.

Was looking at the website for the performance shop the driver owns and noticed this. Must have been a Mustang guy.

the FAF movies were cheesy, but you do need to understand the impact it has on modern car culture. I'd rather have bad car enthusiasts than more prius drivers. They're far from the best ever car movies, but they do matter.

And not everyone had the opportunity to grow up with family members in garages and working on cars.

You'd be sadly disappointed

OK, that is a bit on the creepy side.

The actor was also dating Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell, 23, when he died and she is ‘broken up’ over his loss, relatives have revealed.

Walker reportedly started dating Pilchard-Gosnell when she was just 16, meaning he would have been 33, an age gap of 17 years.
She was supposedly beginning to become the step-mother to Walker’s daughter, even though she is only 10 years older.

Nah, you're right it wasn't a jerky comment, clearly you're that guy that has to be an a__hole.

Btw, I love how people bash the FAF movies, but talk about American Graffiti and Smokey and the Bandit like they were freaking masterpieces, those movies sucked *****. The FAF movies weren't the greatest, but you could still show some respect to a good guy that loved cars and has done more than you ever will.

Ok. Go get you some nice graphics and neons for your hot rod honda.
I don't think I said one bad thing about the guy. The FAF movies blow *** but it wasn't necessarily his fault. Sorry your idol was killed. Go get yourself one of those fat heads of him to put above your bed.

He's not my idol, ****. I'm not some kid who worships those movies. You sound like a kid with some jealousy issues.
