There was one pervious potential customer that backed out due to safety concerns who was in the middle of suing him for a refund when this happened. That person apparently dropped the lawsuit after Rush died to spare the family additional pain. Apparently there were already trips booked and paid for next summer. Something tells me they won't be getting a refund though.

Call that a fully paid-up lesson from 'The School of Hard Knocks.'
They may have to wait a year to buy the newest Ferrari.
