Being a Little Rusty

[@aubreyspencer3921]

Her warning other people about wearing a seatbelt broke my heart. It’s so simple & can save lives. My heart goes out to this momma 💕

[@jenniferwang3489]

Yes, I flipped my first car in an accident, went end over end. I landed so hard I broke my rare axle and my drivers seat was about a foot further back than it should be. I don't care who is in my car, we don't MOVE until everyone has a seat belt buckled. I won't have someone else's life on my conscience.

[@vorpal22]

@@jenniferwang3489 Most modern cars won't let you not know that someone isn't wearing a seatbelt... I joke that the only thing that nags me more than my mother is my car about seatbelts. BING BING BING BING BING. I am very pro-seatbelt, but if I am just reversing down the driveway or driving on my property at a very slow speed for a short distance, I might not bother.

May the plaintiff’s son rest peace. My heart aches for her. I could never make it if something happened to my children. My daughter is the age now to get her license and I don’t think I’ve slept well since I signed the drivers education form for her to take the class. 🤦‍♀️ Wearing your seat belt is the easiest thing you can do to protect yourselves. Make it a habit and you’ll never be bothered by it again. As for the case the plaintiff did well to ask the defendant in writing. Like JM states over and over again put it in writing because if you do not then it’s just a as is sale. Though, I really could not see myself fixing up or even trading out frames in the car my child died in. But each their own. My thanks as well for this loyal service in our military. That goes for any person and family that sacrifices so much for our country. It’s truly appreciated.

I have always bought my vehicle's from a private sale and have been very fortunate that I've never had problems.

Also, in regards to her son, Rest in Peace. Thank you for your services to us as well! 🙏🙏🙏

My best friend got into an accident 5 years ago. 5 teens in the car, 2 wearing the seatbelts. They were fine. Two of the other's died. My best friend's heart stopped 3 times. He was in the ICU for 3 months. They thought he would never walk again. Thankfully he made a great recovery for the circumstance. But he will have to use his cane for the rest of his life. When I visited him in the ICU all he could say is wear your seatbelt.

What a sad case. But good to learn that an “As Is” contract can be void in place of a new promise to pay.

[@honestyisadyingvirtue]

So the plaintiff was so worried about rust that she goes out if her way to mention it to him before the sale but doesn't have a mechanic look at it to verify something that's very important. Then she asked for 500 back for an as is sale (she already knew what that was since she put it in the contract) the defendant agrees to give it to her, since he felt sorry for her when it came to her loss. Maybe it's just me but she was making it seem like she was "rebuilding" the car in honor of her sons memory, only to say she's going to sell it. I do feel for the plaintiff, but by the end I was feeling a little more suspicious. 🤔

No good deed goes unpunished. The sob story about her son is one thing, but I think the defendant made a mistake on even engaging with her on the $500. He already reduced the asking price by $1000 and she was alllowed to inspect at her leisure before buying it. He never guaranteed rust and even she didn’t see it before she bought it. Just goes to show that sellers need to stick to “as is” and not engage further than that lest anything they say after become another contract like in this case.

Have to feel very sympathetic towards the plantiff after such a tragic loss of her son. Anyone who has lost a loved one of this magnitude should clearly be able to identify.

Lol at the people upset in the thinking the judgment is BS. AS THE JUDGE EXPLAINED, the promise to pay the 500 is binding because the plaintiff relied on it to her detriment (by paying to have the work done).

I didn't understand her intentions. She bought a car and wanted to place the engine of the car that killed her son in there and then she was going to sell the car? I am confused. It seems like she is acting strangely out of grief. I could understand if she wanted to keep her son's engine as a memento but her final plan was to sell the car. Make it make sense. The defendant was stupid for dealing with her after the sale. He was within his rights to have nothing to do with her. Morally if he knew about the rust then he should have been honest about it but as she didn't get it checked over before she bought it then the law is on his side. The only reason she got the money is he offered it and based on that offer she had some work done. There should have been proof required that she had the work done. Overall it was quite a good outcome but she was lucky to get something.
