UNBELEIVABLE!! *This is a LIFE and DEATH situation we're talking about

Who gives a rat's ass about blowing up the engine or tearing out the
transmission when the alternative is DYING or KILLING
someone???!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

People who place more importance on the condition of their car over
their lives and the lives of others, deserve what they get.

If they didn't stop their car because they were afraid of damaging it,
kill someone, and live to tell about it, they deserve to go to jail
like any other murderer.

I think maybe you give a lot of these people credit for having more
brains than they do. Like how about he wasn't thinking that putting
it into reverse would blow out the drivetrain. He could think that
the car would go instantly to 94mph in reverse and he'd be killed by
the sudden g force. LOL

I agree a lot about this story stinks. One of the most interesting
being the car was apparently on the recall list, but when he took it
to the dealer they said it wasn't and turned him away. Then suddenly
this happens. Could be the guy knew it was on the recall list and
figured this was a good way to try to make a case or at least be a
media star.
