The latest episode of Jay Leno’s Garage tugs at the heartstrings of car enthusiasts and fans of The Fast and the Furious franchise. Co-hosted by Paul Walker’s brother, Cody Walker, the episode aims to shed light on Paul’s volunteer organization that he founded in 2010, Reach Out WorldWide. The vehicle of choice that he brings on to the show is none other than the Toyota Supra.

Imported by Toprank Vehicles, the Supra is significant as it was the first 10-second car that Walker’s character, Brian O’Conner, built with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) in the first installment of the franchise, and it was also the last car he drove off in for Furious 7. The video goes on to explain a little bit about the iconic JDM car, all while giving viewers a firsthand recollection of the relationship between the two brothers.

Those in the Santa Clarita area can check out the “In Memory of Paul” car show, where all proceeds will go towards the non-profit ROWW organization.
