Vin Diesel Busts Up a S2000 on Fast and the Furious 4
By Nix | April 3, 2008 (7:41 pm) | More: The Fast and the Furious 4 (2009) Movie
Either Vin Diesel is a very aggressive driver, or he’s a very bad one. Either way, if you were one of those guys with a cool car who submitted your ride to the “Fast and Furious 4″ production in hopes it’ll be featured in the flick, you may end up getting more than you bargained for. Case in point: Ben from Bespoke Ventures lent his S2000 to the production, and got it back — barely. According to Ben, during one of the film’s scenes, Vin Diesel (who was driving) managed to damage the fender, hood, bumper, and headlight of the S2000.
You can watch how my car got damaged but you’ll need to wait until 2009 when The Fast and the Furious 4 comes out to see it. It was a cool scene in the film, but I guess Vin got a little more into character than we all expected. A damaged fender, hood, bumper and headlight wasn’t supposed to be part of the deal! Oh well, at least 10 million or so people will enjoy watching the craziness that ensued to create this mini-tragedy for my car. Now I need to have Mana-P re-do the graphics for the front half of the car as I replace all of the parts and repaint. This is going to be expensive…
No word whether Universal is going to pay for the damages. You’d think they would have to, right? Then again, I hope Ben didn’t sign the wrong papers before handing over the car keys…
Here’s how the car looked before it got Diesel-ed:

Wullie on 5 April 2008:
If you watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaPOH3iuDA4, at about 50 seconds in there is a picture of what looks to be the charger that got smashed at the end of FF1, how are they going to manage that if he’s been hiding out in mexico ?? would be good if they went down the route of a rebuild scene similar to the supra tho, And whats happening with Letty ?? surely we should have seen her by now ? i hope she’s not dead and the funeral or graveyard scene was for Jesse because i think the whole ‘working for a drug dealer’ thing has been done, hope its good, realy lookin forward to it now after seeing the spy footage.
Wullie on 5 April 2008:
sorry, should have been :

Brian Tyler: The Fast and the Furious 4
According to the Gorfaine-Schwartz Agency’s latest roster update, Brian Tyler will follow up his intense score for The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift with new music for the fourth film in the series, which is also directed by Justin Lin. The film is yet untitled but is scheduled to hit the silver screen on June 5 next year, with Vin Diesel returning as the main star, accompanied by Paul Walker and Michelle Rodriguez. Brian Tyler is also attached to The Killing Room, a thriller about four people who take part in a psychological research study which turns out to be a terrifying classified experiment. Peter Stormare, Chloë Sevigny and Timothy Hutton star in the film which is directed by Jonathan Liebesman, for whom Tyler previously worked on Darkness Falls. As previously reported and confirmed by 20th Century Fox, Brian Tyler is also going to score big budget action spectacle Dragonball.

If universal doesn’t pay up one would hope that Vin would man up and pay for the damages himself.
Hondakid on 5 April 2008:
This is going to be atleast 2hrs long movie. They still in LA. Im ready to see Dominican Republic. Its kind of like miami, but with a more exotic feel and the GIRLZ! OMG! I want to some latino in tight latex pants, mini skirts, nothing like tokyo girls. Latinos are known for their curves.

Tyrese will probably be back but its under a 50% chance in my opinion
San09 on 6 April 2008:
Hi everybody, this is my first reply but always I follow your comments and I found then very interesting! Well maybe I can help you all to know a little more about who is this funeral for. I f you look at this pic from that scene, in the t-shirts of some people they write something very clear… just have a look…

Hondakid, can you please tell me if they had started to filming out of US? Cos was really stranger that from March 19 they was any new pic in the net! Thanks!
Hondakid on 6 April 2008:
San09, I know what u are talking about. That was plenty of time for new pics. We wouldnt even had the pics to this s2000 unless vin had wrecked it. They only been filming in LA tho. They have the storyboards and film all the LA shots together. Whether its at the beginning or end of the film.
San09 on 6 April 2008:
Thanks a lot Hondakid!;-) and all you have a great week!
cece on 6 April 2008:

Hondakid on 6 April 2008:

cece on 6 April 2008:

Hondakid on 6 April 2008:
What u saying Cece? That they jus scrap the funeral scene. It is possible but why? People are going to die, look at vin, he could of died drifting. Hulk hogan son almost died drifting on public roads if Im not mistaken.
cece on 6 April 2008:

any body know when faf4 comes out in cinima
matbaxter on 16 April 2008:
hondaguy what do u mean about faf4
Wolfenstiener on 23 April 2008:
Dude, reading about all this is scaring the crap out of me! I know im knew to this blog, but, Ive been a huge fan of FAF since the beginning! But, I just want to see what happens, and I really hope that there will be alot of drifting involved! But, about that S2000, I would be REALLY pissed if that was my car! But if you look in the background of one of the pictures, there is a white 1996 Toyota Tercel parked right on the end. Just like the one I own! But, mine was originally Green, and now its about half green and half black. But the engine looks Awesome, cause I painted it too!
Wolfenstiener on 23 April 2008:
Oh, Also, I live in Auburn, AL. A far shot from Mobile, but, I have noticed that suddenly, there are TONS of tuner cars around Auburn now! TONS OF THEM. The other day, I counted 7 Black Honda Civics that had bodykits, spoilers, and rims! I mean, I only knew one guy with a Mazda Protege that had his tuned about 2 months ago, and now tons of people have there cars tuned! But ill be the only one with a Toyota Tercel! :P
