The car world is still recovering from Paul Walker's untimely and unfortunate death late last year, but love for the Fast & Furious franchise--and especially its modified cars--has never been stronger. As the next movie, Fast & Furious 7, moves onward, some lucky collector will get to take a look back at the R34 Nissan GT-R Walker drove in the fourth F&F film. The only hitch? The car is priced at a cool million euros. That's right, €1,000,000, which works out to about $1,350,000. If that sounds like a lot of money to you--even for an R34 GT-R--you're not alone. The price...

It's the news that many will claim to have seen coming, yet it's still sad to read. According to CNN, the coroner in the Paul Walker/Roger Rodas accident has recently concluded that the Porsche Carrera GT being driven by Roger Rodas was traveling at over 100 miles per hour at the time of the crash. Initial reports stated that the speed was likely between 30 and 45 miles per hour, but this has now been refuted and helps make more sense of the damage to the car and the occupants inside of it. It could also put more of a pinch on Fast and Furious 7. There's no doubt this bit of news will trigger...
