Quick, what's your favorite car from the original The Fast & The Furious? (You know, the one from back when those movies were more or less about cars and street racing, not aircraft hijacking.)

Paul "Fast and Furious" Walker isn't just seat decoration in a car-centric series of movies, he can actually drive. He's entered this year's Redline Time Attack race series with this — a stripped-to-the-bone, caged BMW M3.

Though not a great work of cinema the last The Fast And The Furious film had a ton of Grand Nationals, including this rear-wheel-steered Buick designed for backwards driving stunts. Will it join Vin Diesel in Fast 5?

When we were on the set for Fast And Furious, the fourth installment in the cheesy NOS-injected franchise, Director Justin Lin hinted there was room for a fifth film. It's coming, and its working title is Fast 5.

Paul Walker told a radio station both he and Vin Diesel are on board for a fifth film in the The Fast And The Furious franchise to be set in Brazil. Lord help us.
