At its opening in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Diesel dedicated the new Fast & Furious — Supercharged 3D car ride to his co-star. “This one’s for you Pablo,” the actor said, invoking the nickname he has often used for Walker. Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson and Jason Statham, who all starred in the _Furious 7_, joined Diesel in welcoming fans. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3934893/vin-diesel-fast-furious-ride-paul-walker/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3934893/vin-diesel-fast-furious-ride-paul-walker/"},"headline":"Vin Diesel Dedicates Fast & Furious Ride to Paul Walker","datePublished":"2015-06-24T22:50:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T08:30:30.813Z","description":"\"This one’s for you Pablo\"","url":"https://time.com/3934893/vin-diesel-fast-furious-ride-paul-walker/","keywords":["movies","Vin Diesel","Theme Parks","Paul Walker"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3934893/vin-diesel-fast-furious-ride-paul-walker/","name":"Vin Diesel Dedicates Fast & Furious Ride to Paul Walker"}}]}] ```
