Two simple explanations.....A lawyer goes where the money is; and everyone in this country is held accountable....it is that simple. You can either blame or applaud. Applaud that our country isnt like some other countries where the law is applied by anyone with a gun. Or you can blame law schools who pump out large classes of new lawyers 2 or 3 times a year, compared to medical schools who only graduate classes once a year.

I read in the Motor Trend with the GT500 Mustang on the cover that one British car company(i think TVR which donated a car to John Travolta for the movie Swordfish...correct me if im wrong) didnt want to sell cars to the US anymore cuz customers were pissed and sued whenever the car had a mechanical problem, which was often.

T
are you sure TVR has ever sold vehicles in the US? I dont remember them having sold cars here, ever!
