"Didn't know how to drive stick"

My man works on cars without knowing stick?

Wow, as a Brit, I find some US law incredible. Don’t get me wrong, our justice system sucks too but damn! There’s common sense, then there’s the legal system.

Can the owner then claim his Jeep was stolen and used in a crime while getting his oil changed?

 

[Davidpingu]

I think it’s Jeep’s fault for producing a car with this dangerous stick thing!

That's silly. I'm not an attorney, but I can still guarantee you that the owner of the vehicle isn't going ot be held liable for anything at all based on the information given in the story.

So a 19 year old mechanic not knowing how to drive a stick kills an experienced mechanic at the dealership. Car owner is no where around... and he's the one that gets sued.

He’ll lose the case then sue the 19 year old, who will then sue the owner’s parents for conceiving him, who will in turn sue the 19 year old’s parents yadda yadda…

The common sense will be provided by the judge when he/she throws the case out.

double edged sword in USA you can sue almost anyone for anything.

What would stop this is loser pays both parties atty fees

So…how many people still want that manual Supra?

I guess anyone who buys the manual Supra has to register that they now own a potentially lethal weapon lol.

So…how many people still want that manual Supra?

I do, but nobody gets to drive it but me. Dealership personnel included.
