"So, who won? Nobody won. Eveybody lost." That's the most real answer out there.

Paul Walker was the only celebrity that has died that I truly felt it in my heart. I felt like I had lost a long friend of mine.

thank you for saying there is no proof of Paul ever saying that damn quote almost everyone in the car scene put that damn quote on their car. it’s stupid.

A good wakeup call. Any car is lethal if it is not treated with respect. I'm sad to hear Paul did suffer in his final moments. Paul and Ken Blocks untimely passings in vehicles has been heartwrenching and a grim reminder of the risks.

Man it was Rogers fault, from the moment i heard about it i thought he should’ve known better, ignoring all other factors, old tires alone are a death sentence.

11:00 I can see the pain in your eyes... I lost someone special in a vehicle accident too and there are times I feel that the world is ending... Stay strong Craig and thank you for the video. Paul was someone I really looked up to 😢

Oh, Hell.... he didn't die on impact? I had never looked into it and had always hoped he had. That's just double the heartbreak. Not only did he die, but he was likely in unimaginable pain until he passed. That's just... horrible.

Paul was one of the main reasons why I bought a Mitsubishi Evo. I had just turned 20 at the time of his passing, I remember pulling up to pick up my buddy at his house and when he got in the car he told me that Paul had just died. We were just heading out to a club and I didn’t believe him then when I found out we didn’t end up going to the club and stead just went home. I didn’t go to into my lectures for a week. It was painful

You finally told the complete truth. I have been saying this for years!! That car should not have been driven in that manner on a public road. I do not blame the car. I am about your same age and we grew up with cars without ABS, no traction control, no stability control, no rev limiters, no driver's aides whatsoever. It all came down to your ability to control the car. And, like you, sometimes I went past my own driving abilities. I once, at 19, spun my 1983 5.0 5 speed Mustang GT across 3 lanes, 2 of which were into opposing traffic. I once accidentally drifted my 1987 Ducati Paso 750 on a curve with low traction and almost high sided. In both cases, I never blamed my car nor my motorcycle....I blamed myself. And I blame Roger Rodas.. not Porsche. If the Porsche has been driven at the speed limit, they would both still be alive.

RIP Paul Walker. As much as people want to blame the car, the car is just an object. Just like a firearm, knife, axe, it’s harmless and doesn’t do anything until there is a user. Anything is dangerous without training or be safe with the object.

It’s not Porsche’s fault. Roger was a professional driver. He’s at fault. Period.

This had to have been a difficult video to produce. Thank you for putting yourself through those tough memories. RIP Paul.

As a fan of the franchise here in Brazil, I was shocked when I heard the news of his death. I remember it like it was yesterday... I woke up early on Sunday (December 1st), turned on my computer and two minutes later, my father came into my room and said to turn on the TV because an actor from The Fast and the Furious had passed away. When he told me, I didn't think it was Paul, but when I turned on the TV and saw the news, I burst into tears. I was very sad the rest of the day 😢

It's absolute bullshit that Porsche is supposedly somehow at fault for an accident where somebody was doing double the speed limit and ignoring multiple factors like the tires...

You can tell how personal this was to Craig…. Thank you Craig.

Few times in my life have I ever cried when I heard about a celebrity death… Paul… and.. Ken Block… RIP dudes!!!

Anyone blaming the car for the accident that claimed these 2 lives is a fool. Just like the fools that blame guns for mass shootings. Porsche shouldn't have paid anything. It's the owner's responsibility to maintain the car to factory specifications. Driving the car to it's limit in an industrial area was the 2nd poor judgement call. Thank you for the video Craig. RIP Paul. What a shame. A handsome, talented, and genuine human being.

Dying while burning alive and conscious has to be the most painful and horrifying way to die ever

Rodas destroyed many lives that day, putting your passengers in danger is just selfish.

When You realize it's 11 years since he passed it's crazy. Just see how hard it is for Craig to even talk about this whole situation. Every single life is worth living and we should appreciate people that is close to us more... Rest in Peace Paul

I cried the day he passed. Never have i ever cried for someone i dont know personally. It was so sad..

Roger is the reason why we lost Paul, it's so sad.

Their deaths had nothing to with the car, an owner/driver operating the car at double the speed limit on 9 year old tires was 100% the cause.

It’s obvious to all that view this video that talking about Paul’s death was quite emotional for you. Thank you for talking about this painful, but important, topic. You accurately placed blame on the person who was in control of the car.

I still remember that day I cried as a grown man I couldn't believe it it felt like a nightmare still crazy to think about.

Losing Paul was like losing part of my childhood, it still feels that way. He is the only Celebrity who has passed that made me cry, it was the saddest day of the 2000's for me. RIP Paul

Gone too soon brother and it still hurts...

Honestly you cant blame Porsche. They made it clear the car was dangerous, and the car had a name for being dangerous. Its 100% on that driver, I didnt know who he was but knowing he was a race car driver drove like that is unreal... Negligent is the nicest way to put it.

Porsche is in no way responsible.

Let this be a lesson for all of us, take good care of our cars. Tires, brake pads, brake fluid, make sure those parts replace on time. Don’t go cheap on those, at least get decent or factory OEM parts instead of knockoffs. Wanna go fast? Go to local racetrack.

No, its not Porsche's fault. its like saying i bought a gun, guy broke in to my home, took it and shot me, so now im suing the company that made the gun.... Clarkson drove the car on Top Gear and very clearly said, its a great driving car, but if you make a mistake - it will bite your head off.

EVERYBODY LOST... That is so true in a situation like this. My old boss said something similar to me a long time ago. He said, "In case of a tie, you still lose." We were discussing accidents and how bad getting into to a vehicle accident would be when driving around airplanes. It rings true in alot of aspects of life.

It's so sad that Paul did so much for charity and will forever be in our hearts. Thanks for this video, Craig ❤️

Paul Walker was one of only 3 celebrities that I cried over when they died and right up there next to Tupac when I heard the news about Paul I absolutely lost it and was inconsolable for days and I know how corny that sounds but the man was the reason I chose cars over any other hobby in my life and was a huge piece of the person I am today. Thank you for this update video but it still kills me to think about the fact that he had no choice in his death other than being a trusting man who got in the passenger seat of a friends car.

Paul Walker was special ,he wasn’t just some actor he was a great actor and had passion but he also had another passion which was being a car enthusiast like so many of us and he really knew how to drive like on a track, he will always be missed and fast and the furious will always be that movie in history that’s remembered of a better time when we all had fun with our tuner cars👍🏻 RIP Paul 🙏😞

You can notice at the end Craig starts to tear up a little. Even after a whole decade it's still so hard to get over it.

Totally preventable and what an incredible loss. RIP Paul Walker.

I was blessed enough to meet Paul Walker, most handsome man I’ve ever seen. He was so nice, I thought I was dreaming. Such a kind soul taken WAY too soon.

Paul was taken way to damn soon and the movies just ain't the same without him

Only celebrity death that actually made me sad.. and still does..

Roger Rodas is the ONLY one to blame! This lawsuit against Porsche was only possible in the USA, where you can file a lawsuit against anyone and for anything! Even McDonalds for hot coffee! 🙄

How do you afford a $500K+ car (yes, I know they are over $1 million dollars now, but in 2013 there were in the $500K range), but too cheap to buy new tires???!?! 9-10 year old tires???? WTH? I wouldn't keep 10 year old tires on a Honda Accord!

I can definitely feel meadow’s pain TO A DEGREE as almost a year later I lost my dad to a car accident as bad tires were a factor of his crash on the company vehicle. God bless Craig thank you for this and may God be with the walker family as He has been with me.

This is very scary to me, as a racer and an instructor. People know I drive fast, and sometimes, they want to show off their skills when I'm in the car. I'd be lying if I said I haven't done it myself. I can only imagine Roger wanting to show off a bit for Paul. Maybe they were both laughing. But sadly, they are the only two souls who know for sure what happened in that car that day. That news was a heartbreaker, it's the risk we take every time we get in a car. I think about that all the time, it's scary.

dont think putting an ad at the start of the video is a good idea, shouldnt be making money off of talking about someones death, especially people that you are so close to.

Craig I appreciate what your doing with the whole car culture and up to dates on the f&f franchise, You covered this perfectly man, Even though it was sad to relive the Paul walker crash i was happy you covered it in your words. Your the man bro keep it up 🤙

This is the most impactful celebrity death of my life I finally had a chance to visit Paul's accident site this past February. It was a solemn moment for me. Like so many others Paul's life off screen was an inspiration to me. Despite his bad acting I enjoyed his movies too He is missed dearly and I wish he never got in that car!

That fake quote is nasty considering what actually happened that day. No person let alone gear head is smiling whilst there inevitable doom is staring them in the face.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video, Craig, it is obvious throughout how personally and deeply this affected you, especially towards the end and I give much Respect. Ive been lucky...and thankful... that no one this close to me has passed on the track or street, so I cant imagine the feelings, but it really gives perspective and opens one's eyes to our own silliness we pull on the roads from time to time.

concise, to the point,angry. Never saw you like that,but i completely agree with you in every single point.

You can feel your emotions pouring through especially at the end. I didn’t know Paul, but I miss him. He seemed like a really great guy.

Absolutely NOT Porsche’s fault, not even slightly

I remember that tragic day when I found out what happened to Paul and his friend. I felt like a close relative to me had passed away, that’s how impactful of person he was to everyone. We all miss you Paul! RIP to the buster.🙏🕊️

Yes, I agree with your statement. Rodger should have been blamed for his and Paul’s death.

So knowing the conditions being seasoned race driver knowing the characteristics of the car, cold old tires etc…. he still wrecklessly drove the car that way ….? Stupidity absolute stupidity

Craig, first off thank you for everything you do in being an ambassador for the import car culture. Your support and very informative videos and information, are outstanding. On this unfortunate event, I’m with you 100%. In aviation, it is said that a novice pilot’s enemy is inexperience, and an experienced pilot’s enemy is complacency. Complacency, an overconfidence in personal ability, and ego, all led to bad judgement by Rodas. Sadly, took Walker with him. Just very lucky it wasn’t a collision with another vehicle on the road. Insofar as suing Porsche, even the Carrera GT with all its limitations in safety features…..it’s still a car. A high performance car. One whose limitations need to be known and respected. Press it past those limitations, and you are indeed dancing with devil, like you said. The lawsuit against Porsche was wrong. But as another saying goes “it’s not whether you win or lose, but how to place the blame.” No winners in this one, you are 100% correct Craig. Peace be with you brother. Thank you for this informative video.

Thank you for making this video Craig. We appreciate it.

90mph on a 35mph limit turn on a public road. Stupidity kills, and kills anyone aboard or on its path. RIP Paul.

A tragedy that could have been avoided and a big warning to people that drive reckless... Tough topic, you can hear the emotions in Craig's voice. RIP Paul Walker

I’m a big fan of yours Craig. That was probably the best video describing the whole matter of what happened, thank you for finally posting a video on this bro.

Good job holding it together man.. this made think of my whole life and loved ones that are gone 💔

I don’t care what anyone says. The car is not the problem. Reckless irresponsible drivers are the problem. Not only that, but Doug covered the recall on these cars. Zero of the affected cars in the recall actually show the problem they are being recalled for. I’m a dealer recall tech for Ford. Every automaker issues campaigns for various issues ranging from mild to wild, and most of the vehicles I service under recalls don’t have the problem the recall is servicing. It’s a high power vehicle and demands high levels of responsibility and high levels of respect. The end.

Respectfully disagree. It's not like Porsche sold the CGT and didn't tell people it didn't have any safety features, they were up front and if you chose to buy it, you accepted the risks. I feel bad for Paul's daughter but no money should have been paid to her from Porsche. The owner CGT might have been liable for driving aggressively on public streets and I could see him having to pay out. There are many accidents each year caused by vehicles that don't have current safety features, should they all be taken off the roads or the manufacturer sued for them not being upgraded to include them? Where does it end? All choices were made by individuals who accepted the risks they took in this situation, sadly, with tragic results.

Craig, You're right, but people who buy these supercars, are resposibles to mantain efficient, and drive carefully on the road, have a nice day 💪🏻💪🏻

Thank for such a beautiful and caring tribute about spreading awareness and responsibility, your earliest subscriber and a huge Fan.

It's partly on porsche, but Roger shouldn't have been a show off. Craig, I could definitely see some sad emotions there from you. We as fans are so upset. Im sure you like many others that knew Paul personally, would have been absolutely devastated about this whole incident 😢 I'm sure if Paul was still alive he probably would admit that getting in that car with Roger was something he shouldn't have done. We all miss you Paul 😢

Blaming the car in an negligent accident is like blaming the gun in a shooting

I can't imagine smiling ear to ear and then a millisecond later burning to death. Such a loss for car culture, humanity, whatever you want to call it. God bless all that were affected.

I share your anger and pain Craig. I'm glad you made this video and everyone can see this was your most difficult video. Thank you for being a professional throughout.

Rest in peace both the driver and Paul Walker. Thanks @craig for covering this. Sad video. Life's precious.

Man, you can tell this was an emotional video for Craig to do. Thanks for making the video Craig.

Thanks for doing this Craig. Rest easy Paul...

Good video. Thanks for making this one. Respect. R.I.P Paul Walker

Thank You for making this video. It is hard to watch you try to make it, yet you did it justice. It is a credit to Paul. I appreciate how hard this must have been to make.

It is ignorance to blame this on Porsche, this Carrera GT had stale expired tires. The car was designed to be extremely sensitive for the most premier of drivers. Rodas did not respect the limits of the car along with the maintenance required by it and put Paul Walker’s safety on the line. It was clear reckless driving I would not have happened otherwise. Even a lightly spirited driving would not have done this in the condition Carrera GT was at the time. Carrera GTs did not spin out off the road unless you the driver gave it that input. The Carrera GT is not defective the driver is, if the driver has an issue don’t drive the car.

Thank you so much Craig for all the explanation, unfortunately we lost him and it's very sad, and it seemed throughout the video that it wasn't easy for you either because you knew him personally!..well done again and thank you!!

Thank you for sharing the facts on this. We appreciate your sincerity.

He was my hero. Thanks for sharing this Craig ❤

I appreciate the closure you made for Paul Walker and Roger Rodas. My obsession and theories were corrected. Few things i didn’t know was, it has rain the day before, the tires was 9 years old!? No abs and no safety features? It was an accident waiting to happen. i wouldn’t take that ride. Porsche took more celebrities than any other car manufacturer. May we all learn our mistakes and others.

Thanks for a detailed story craig. I knew it was hard even as years already passed by.

Thank you for clearing things up on this sensitive matter. I still miss Paul Walker to this day.

Thank you for telling this story I never heard the whole thing. Got a “For Paul” T-Shirt to support❤

Sorry you lost a friend. Great Video, thank you for sharing. R.I.P. Paul. Stay Happy and Healthy

Thanks for the updated info 🙏

Thank you for making this it could not have been easy. I don't tear up easily, but I remember when this happened and I was in disbelief. As someone on the sidelines, I'm so great full for the movies that he was in, but I can't help but keep thinking of what he could have continued to do both on film and off. Paul seemed like another Keanu Reeves type of person making great films with a great heart and passion.

Damn they still settling things and figuring things out it’s been what 10 years or more I was watching wrestling when news broke couldn’t believe it and where did u get that hoodie it’s too dope I need it

Why was Porsche sued? I wouldn't pay a dime. They made the car, not drive it. By that logic, every accident should by paid off by manufacturer. Stupid

It's been more than 10 years at this point but I still remember when my mom came into my room and told me the news - it felt like a close relative was gone, Paul was special, he was nice, he was great.

Good to hear from someone who tells the full truth and is emotionally involved. Even though it must have been hard to make this video, thank you!

That quote always sounded like BS. Paul was a family man, loved his daughter, loved his friends, loved his life and seemed to always feel like he was on a mission to do better. That quote insinuates that if he died merely for the thrill of speed, then it was worth giving up all he loved. BS. Paul was better than that.

It's so easy in hindsight to say Porsche should have done XYZ when they made the car but at the end of the day Roger is the reason Paul is gone and Roger alone, Porsche is not at fault for someone driving like an idiot.

Well put together Craig . Good informational video you we're spot on with the facts 👌

Thanks man, the truth. Sad story, but I’m happy for what we do have of him on the big screen.

Great video Craig! much respect for telling it like it is. I'm sure its harder for you, having worked with him. Paul Walker was an Icon, A Role model and to some a teacher to the tuner world. Paul and his family will be remembered and cherished forever. . Drive On!

Thanks for adding clarity to all this. i dont know if i needed to know all that but its good to know that this mans legend will be remembered truthfully.

Thanks for covering this, I'm sure it was hard since you were as close to Paul as you were. As terrible as this tragedy was, it could/should have been easily prevented.

I don't see how you can blame a car or even a manufacturer for what amounts to utter recklessness on the driver's part. People buy those cars because the nanny controls aren't there. Paul, we were the same age and you are greatly missed.

It just blows my mind at how safety was just thrown out the window and they are both dead. Yrs ago I worked at a tire shop in California and a friend whom got me the job went and put used inner tire rods on a 240sx. I refused to help him as it was against my better judgement. Minutes later after it was lowered off the rack and taken for a “test drive” the inner tie rods snapped. Fortunately for the kid who owned the car he was only going maybe 2 to 5 mph coast out of parking lot. But it was enough to scare the living hell out of him. He walked over to me moments later to shake my hand and tell me I was right.

Always great videos Craig! Thanks for always taking time to keep the facts straight

This is too sad. Thank you for the video.
