Nobody wants to take responsiblility for their own actions, it is always somebody else's fault.

Time for some homework: Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants

For starters, it wasn't the driver, it was the passenger.

I wonder how hot coffee spilled in the groin area would affect my FE?

Why didn't we wikipedia this from the start.

Nowhere does it mention that the coffee machine was broken and superheating the water. Superheated water is water heated to above it's normal boiling point, I doubt that is even possible with McDonald's coffee makers.

Still frivolous to me, I value my groin too much to take dangerous chances like that.

Even better, no excuse for having anything between your legs while somebody else is driving.

Hahaha... You guys are so far off topic. I did enjoy reading about that coffee case though. In my opinion, she had more of a right to sue than the MPG guy.

Have there been any updates on his case?
