It wasn't him driving it. It was the CEO of the shop at that location, Roger.
2G TSX Chat, Chit, and General Info Thread-mq5rggk.jpg

Car hit the first tree on its side and since it was a mid-engine car, it exploded and destroyed pretty much everything except the bare bones of the front 1/3 of the car.

And this is how fucked up our society is today. Hear a crash, they rush to drive to the location and instead of helping or seeing if anyone is alive, they film the thing and then post it on Youtube asking people to share their video for likes.


He may not have been the greatest actor, but he was a true car enthusiast and it was his movie that stirred up the car culture in this generation. His enormous efforts for numerous charities both his own and others were just the top on his kind heart.

PAUL WALKER CRASH *HD* OFFICIAL - YouTube

that video is not someone rushing over to drive to the location, it was someone who had no idea who was in the car, but had come from the same area. I'm trained in Fire Rescue and Vehicle Extrication, and at the end of the day, im taught not to rush to a car like that, chances of additional people getting hurt is huge, especially with no training. we wear protective gear, which doesn't make us fire proof, is still something. though many of us do still have the hero mentality and would run to try to pull someone out if we passed by that, it is none the less the wrong thing to do, as morally right as it is. and yes i would probably the idiot getting hurt cause my instinct would have been to be at the car before my own car was even in park

A bunch of guys that arrived after that video was taken came with fire extinguishers but could not put out the fire. One guy who ran in there trying to unbuckle their seat belts to get them out said that they were unconscious.

Aero Kit.
The rear you can get at your local Acura stealership for $500-$650 painted. Also the sides which is also like $500 something I think lol.

Front, you'll have to respray to matched the car since those were only for the 09-10 models. You'll also need to pick up a new grill and fogs(different mounts I believe) to go with it.

Damnit. The front bumper was the only part I wanted. I actually like the SE rear bumper more.

I'm thinking about getting the new IS350. However sometimes I think it's super ugly.

I really like the new body style. No sarcasm this time.

Also, my battery sucks, as everyone knows. Drove it for 2 hours straight and then parked for 5 minutes. Barley turned over.

Some are speculating steering malfunction/fluid leak. Only skid marks were right before impact and in a straight line. Might have been trying to turn the car at a fast speed, but steering failure led to them heading straight into a light pole and 2 trees. Seems that explosion started in the front of the car and not where the engine was in the mid-rear. Just bad luck, man. They were so close to making it back to the entrance of the shop too.
