j.f0ng: i stand corrected. you were right. those cars are paul walker's as per this interview by automobile magazine:
AM: What's in the Walker garage?
PW: A '67 Nova that Year One built, a '64 Impala, a '64 Malibu, a '64 Chevelle two-door wagon, a '64 Nova wagon, a '67 Nova wagon. I really want a double-nickel Chevy; that's coming soon. I've also been collecting BMWs. Remember the lightweight E36 M3? BMW brought sixty of them to the States, and I have seven of them. I have a Porsche GT3 RS 3.8. I'm on my fourth or fifth R34 Nissan Skyline.

Dick Hartz or whatever his name is, the dude who sold his company locally to Microsoft or someone, he put his CGT up on the divider at Arbutus and Broadway. Also heard he crashed it twice more but there were photos of his car actually on the median.
The Carrera GT owned by Roger Rodas that was reportedly the car that crashed into a tree, killing Rodas and actor Paul Walker. This is a picture of the car from Graham Rahal's Facebook page.

The trouble-prone Porsche that “Fast & Furious” star Paul Walker was riding in when he died in a crash suffered a mechanical failure that was likely caused by a power steering fluid leak, a new report said Monday.
Sources connected to Always Evolving – the auto shop co-owned by Walker and Porsche driver Roger Rodas — told the celebrity Web site TMZ that they saw “evidence of a fluid burst and subsequent fluid trail before the skid marks at the accident scene.”
The sources said that the lack of skid marks until just before the point of impact suggests the driver didn’t have control of the speeding car’s steering.
Walker was just tagging along with a pal for a test-drive in a trouble-prone Porsche when they crashed and died, a new report said.
The 40-year-old actor had shown up at Always Evolving — a high-end car shop run by Walker’s buddy, former race-car driver Roger Rodas, 38 — for a fund-raiser for typhoon victims in the Philippines, according to TMZ.
But when he got to there, he saw Rodas trying to help employees figure out what was wrong with a red Porsche Carrera GT that kept stalling.
Rodas was behind the wheel, backing the pricy car out of the garage, when Walker hopped into the passenger seat and the pair took off to trouble-shoot, sources said.
They were returning from a 20-minute spin when they tragically crashed — just 500 yards from the shop.
As mentioned earlier, I still can't believe he's gone... Seems so unreal.
Since this news has risen, I searched many online forums and news report and it seems everyone has lost their role model and a overall great car guy...
Found this site talking about how great he is wanting to help the unfortunate... (Read the chainsaw part) LA Times
Seriously, loss of words and feeling empty inside...hope his daughter, Meadow, is staying strong... Posted via RS Mobile
I really want to appologize for my comment, i feel really stupid for saying such a retarded thing w/o knowing the facts. God bless his Daughter and rest his soul!! I couldn't imagine leaving my daughter. She would be just absolutely crushed beyond comprehension!
