Paul Walker’s Cars
As expected, the Fast and Furious actor had a soft spot for cars. He was extremely passionate about his cars and had an impressive personal collection of them. It is interesting to note that his grandfather was a race car driver, so it seems the love for speed and wheels were definitely in his genes! Paul Walker’s car collection kept changing frequently, as new cars were bought and old ones were sold at high prices. Not many people know this but Walker also had a dealer’s license and owned a business that manufactured high-end performance parts. Maintained as a showroom, his garage was beautifully designed. This was partly done because a buyer could visit at any time and also because Walker considered his cars to be functional pieces of art. His collection included Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Porsches, Corvettes, and vintage cars. However, a few of his personal favorites were BMW ’74 2002 Touring, Ford Escort Cosworth, Toyota Supra, and R34 Nissan Skyline. Well, it seems Walker always had an endless love affair with his cars, that’s for sure!
It’s been almost four years since his death, so what is it that makes Paul Walker so unforgettable? It was his passion. The undying energy that he put into his work is what set him apart. One of his famous quotes when read after his death said, “If one day the speed kills me, don’t cry, because I was smiling.” There wasn’t a dry eye in the house and even today, many still choke up when they think about the loss of this great man.
