Speaking to The AP, the brothers aren't ruling out the possibility of fans seeing Brian one more time.

"I just hope we get to – I don't know – have a little cameo and bring Paul back to save the day and I get to help create that again," Caleb said.

"That's my dream, and I hope we get to do that in one of the future movies."

Cody added: "I think there could potentially be a way to do it. But it would take a lot of thought, and it'd have to be tasteful. It would have to be tasteful.

"He was the real deal, the real car guy. And in his absence, I think it's lost its way in a big way."
