What idiots! Getting into a car that a mechanic just told them is unsafe? I'm foregoing the "hurt bystander" rule for the passenger in this one since he willingly got into that deathtrap along with the driver. Thanks!

I must concur with Bruce in this case. Apparently, the passenger had no second thoughts! This is first-class stupidity!
