How Paul Walker ended up in a death car

According to reports Paul Walker showed up Saturday for a fundraiser at Always Evolving - Roger Rodas' high end auto shop that specializes in exotic cars.

Paul had a stake in the shop. Sources connected to Roger tell TMZ when Paul arrived, Roger was watching one of his employees try in vain to back the Carrera GT into the shop, but it kept stalling. Roger decided to take matters into his own hands... told the worker to get out and took the wheel himself.

As Roger began to back into the garage, Paul came up and said he hadn't driven in the Porsche yet - so he jumped in the passenger seat and they took a 20 minute drive.

The fatal accident happened on the way back from that drive - just 500 yards from the shop.
