Eleanor often borrows her roommate’s car because she does not have one of her own. One day, Eleanor goes on a joy ride on rocky terrain and gets a flat tire. Eleanor refuses to replace the tire because she does not own the car. Which of the following is true?
Correct choice - D) Eleanor may be held liable under a tort because the owner can no longer use the car
