After reviewing the roadster pictures (on a bigger screen), I concur that it is an early pre 1,600 series FFR MK I chassis.

Saw this in another article:
"Staff at Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn Medical Center said Wilson's blood-alcohol content was 0.148 percent, nearly double the state's legal limit of 0.08 percent."

I have to say, the torched Mazda daily driver on his Facebook page and the comments that follow are just bizarre. How often does a car get randomly lit on fire?
Regardless, sad story all around. If the guy really did make those comments, then he is a top shelf worthless human being.

patrick, He had the keys and knew he had been drinking.. No excuses.. no mitigating circumstances. Being responsible for your own actions and the ramifications of those actions is called being an adult.. If more people would teach their kids to be responsible for their own actions and not try to blame society, or the neighbor or the girl friend, or the teacher, or the school, or whomever, we'd all find it a lot easier to understand the crap that is going on in the world today. It's kind of like all of the hubub about bullying.. Don't try to convince the bullys not to be bullys, teach the rest of the kids that sometimes you have to stand up on your hind legs and kick some bully's butt. Or get a baseball bat and do it, or a bunch of you gang up on a bully and kick their butt. What ever it takes, stand up for yourself.. there endith the lecture...
Sorry, but you got me started on my favorite topic..

Couldn't agree more.

What laws do Arizona have about bars serving booze to drunks and letting them leave?

In the Old West Days, they would look at something like this and just say "Get a Rope".
They almost still do that in Texas, thank God.

I don't think the best lawyer will be able to cover up the BAC in this kids report. He'll be very lucky if he is only charged with second degree murder.

A little devil's advocate. FFR was aware of the need for passenger rollover protection as evidenced by their offering the option. FFR sells the kit with a passenger seat and belts, but no rollbar. Even FFR makes it clear that the car isn't intended as an exact reproduction, so the "not on an original" argument is not valid. FFR has widely publicized a video of one of the company owners rolling one of their cars, so they are quite obviously aware of the potential. The list goes on...
EDIT: Not intending to pick on FFR, the same applies to pretty much all cobras built since 1970. |

To my knowledge, Arizona law requires seat belts for the passenger in the front seat only. There is no mention of rollover protection that I am aware of. Subsequently, I don't believe that argument would have any standing in a court of law as regards the manufacturer. A good prosecutor will hang the driver for being under the influence and for being unable to keep his vehicle "under sufficient control to avoid endangering or damaging, persons or property", which is required by Arizona statute.

Did Arizona pass some sort of tort reform that I was unaware of? Are you contending that civil liability requires some sort of code violation to have standing?
Wile one could legitimately contend that the passenger shares some liability with the driver in regards to the driver's criminal behavior, alleging the same for faulty design and construction would be a much taller order. |

Legislation and regulations here (Saskatchewan) require no more than lap belts for 'convertibles', and is completely silent on rollover protection.

Made that exact comment about this incident today with my buddy.
Also, if there's one thing I've learned from Clint Eastwood it's if you're gonna lynch someone you make sure you finish the job.  |

I am not.discussing civil liability as.that frequently defies logic. I am speaking strictly of criminal liability.
