Ouch...this guy is cold, but it's pretty much the truth about guys like this.

I’m sure Kramer and Cohen are as devastated as Vin Diesel and everyone else who knew and worked with Walker. This is sad as hell, and ghastly to boot. Slamming into a pole at high speed and then being engulfed by flames…good God. A terrible and senseless way to die. Because the circumstances seem to indicate recklessness. They certainly don’t indicate moderation and restraint.

The Porsche Carrera that Walker died in was owned and was being driven by Walker’s friend, wealth management advisor and philanthropic partner Roger Rodas, who was also a former race-car driver. Rodas had a side business as the CEO of Always Evolving, a car customization shop in Santa Clarita. Walker and Rodas had raced cars together in the Pirelli World Challenge series, and “had decided to take Rodas’s rare Porsche Carrera GT from a car show at his building to the Reach Out Worldwide charity event in Los Angeles,” according to one report.

Rodas and Walker “had been friends and had been racing for several years before they began collaborating on Walker’s finances,” according to a web page for The Rodas Group, the Merrill-Lynch financial management company.

Walker’s Wiki page reports that “shortly after leaving in Rodas’ red Porsche Carrera GT, the driver (i.e., Rodas) lost control and crashed into a light pole and tree in Valencia, California and burst into flames.”

Take a look at the photo of Rodas’s demolished Porsche Carrera. It looks as completely obliterated as James Dean‘s Porsche Spyder did after the car crash that killed Dean in September 1955. Who loses control of a classic Porsche and turns it into a pile of mangled rubble in the middle of the afternoon in a sleepy Los Angeles suburb? Who slams a Porsche into a light pole and a tree at high speed? Someone who’s been driving outside the posted speed limit, I’d say. Is it disrespectful to note that all race-car enthusiasts are adrenalin junkies, and that these two were probably enjoying the juice a few seconds before they died?

That’s what car enthusiasts live for, no? Not to die, obviously, but, in their parlance and by the laws of their realm, to live to the fullest.

But even if they were speeding beyond any sense of rationality or restraint you would think that a former race-car driver would know how to handle a well-engineered car like a Porsche Carrera…aahh, the hell with it. The investigation will determine the circumstances and likely cause soon enough.

Agreed- I feel like it is sometimes very random in what it shows in the posts, and sometimes I swear it omits some new threads and topics being shown when you access CP through tapatalk. Of course tapatalk from time to time says CP hasn't updated its credentials or something like that so I wondered if that is why everything doesn't load properly?

Like you can't rep and leave comments on posts through tapatalk like you can on the website, but other forums have this feature and others working just fine with tapatalk. That's why I assumed CP simply had not made the Site setup to be fully integrated with tapatalk and support for all the latest features and latest version?

I don't know all the details behind getting it to play nice, I just know other message boards are much more integrated and available with a lot more features and capability than the current setup you can get with CP through tapatalk.

Possibly racing (though I doubt it).

JFC, looked through the first couple of photos and saw more of the wreck that I hadn't seen. The car split in half just after the door. I bet they were dead on impact.

They had to have been doing at least 130.

They found black smoke in Walkers lungs.
Poor bastard didn't die on impact.

That doesn't mean he had any knowledge of what was going on around him. I very much doubt he was conscious. That kind of impact probably put out the lights and his mind likely never re-booted.

Or he was paralyzed and roasted to death.

What? Just sayin.

police have ruled that out.

Dayze · 12-03-2013, 08:59 AM

what's scary is that there are no bodies. I would assume in some of those pictures that the accident happened just before the pictures were taken.
