Essay

Justin purchased a new Ford Thunderbird in April of 2007. This was to be Justin's mid-life crisis car and would not be used in everyday driving. He did not sell his current car and would continue to drive it most of the time. Even though this was a low-volume car, Justin wanted his to be unique. He entered into a contract on May 1^st, with a firm to make a custom interior for the car, with the job to be completed on June 11^th. The customizer informed Justin on May 10^th that the car would not be ready until June 15^th. On June 12^th, Justin rented a 2007 Thunderbird from a specialty car rental company at a cost of $120 a day until his car was ready on June 15^th. Can Justin recover his car rental cost from the customizer?
