Geesh. I get a kick out of how both suits downgrade the speed by 25% +. IIRC, didn't one of the wheels go flying across the parking lot and into a building several stories high? That doesn't happen at a mundane 60mph. Some engineer should be able to figure out the force required to do that. But it was a 1-nutter and probably faulty too.

The starter flew 200ft & broke thru a 2nd story window. I believe all wheels were still attached.

Wow. Cars don't disintegrate like that when driven semi-sanely.
To hoon like that on a public roadway is to ask for trouble, and by golly Miss Molly, it answered.
The driver wouldn't be completely at fault here, would he?!

The driver doesn't have deep pockets.

Yes, it was the starter that flew off.

The case should be negligence by the driver to cause the accident. Can it be proven that Walker said drive fast and over the speed limit to the driver ? Not the car.
