Paul Walker talks about the Lexus LFA

Our friends at Lexus, spurred by our reminiscing, sent us this interview conducted with Paul Walker when he drove the Lexus LFA at Willow Springs earlier this year. It hasn't yet been released on Lexus' official channels, and we would be remiss not to share it.

He loved the car. There had been an LFA on the set of "Fast & Furious 5." "That was the baby. We had the security detail," he joked, "but nobody was driving it. I'm just trying to figure out how to manipulate Lexus into letting me borrow one for, like, two years."

"Yeah, I'd buy one," he said about the LFA. "You feel like you're getting away with something by driving it on the street."

Does this mark the apogee of Paul Walker reminiscence? Our celebrity-obsessed news seems to have finally gained self-awareness -- until "Fast & Furious 7" comes out, anyway, as a bookend to his life. Fortunately, his charity, Reach Out WorldWide, continues forth unabated with relief efforts in Illinois and Oklahoma and following the recent typhoon in the Philippines.

At one point in the clip, Walker says, "I usually kill traction control. But in this car, it definitely feels faster with the traction control on. … I like that feeling of walking that line, getting into that edge."

Walker, you could say, walked that line.
