Incredibly terrible news. From all accounts, Paul Walker was a great person, doing great things, and a huge car enthusiast to boot.
I was at the event, but left a couple hours before the accident took place. Here are the photos I took.
It was a beautiful day, and some NSX friends and I decided we wanted to support a great cause, so we rolled to the Toys for Tots event hosted at AE Performance.
It is crazy eerie for me to look at this photo...
AE had their collection of cars on display, and you can tell that it's owned by a car enthusiast, not just some rich dude who wanted to buy a lot of cars.
Extremely well curated collection of cars. The E36s are all Lightweight versions.
Tucked way in the back was an M1.
As the morning moved on, more cars came.
So nice.
Oreo
Super nice Karmann Ghia parked next to me.
The amount of fab work on this car is INSANE.
SR20 in this roadster.
Terrible photo of some of the toys getting stacked up in the middle of the warehouse.
Around 1:30 we headed out to lunch and then headed home. A few hours later, I got texts from my friend bearing the bad news. I'm glad I didn't get to see him or meet him because I would've been even more sad than I am now.
