She bought it ten years ago and has been slowly restoring it to its original condition. Professor Tweedy had never been mechanical. She got by on her wits, but she could not abide the thought that any field of knowledge was beyond her. She took on the car project to prove to herself that there was no area in which she could not become an expert. As the project progressed, Professor Tweedy's students and colleagues would sometimes gather in the parking lot and admire Professor Tweedy's progress and to talk with her about the work she had done on the car. Some would offer to purchase the car when she finished restoring it. One student, Rich Parents, was especially persistent. Each time Rich saw Professor Tweedy, he would offer a slightly higher price for the car. One day, as Rich was nearing graduation, he announced that he would offer Professor Tweedy $165,000 for the car. As a crowd gathered to listen to the exchange, Professor Tweedy said, "OK, you've got yourself a deal," and the parties shook hands. Rich sent Professor Tweedy a confirmatory e-mail, which she ignored, as she was preoccupied with exams. Two weeks later, she responded to Rich's e-mail, writing, "I'm sorry that I cannot sell you the car for the price you offered." In the interim, Professor Tweedy had received a written offer from a colleague, Professor Fein R. Things, to purchase the car for $200,000. She accepted in writing and notified her colleague that she would leave the car in the school parking lot and put the keys and title in her mailbox in the faculty mailroom. That same day, Professor Things transferred $200,000 from his bank account to Professor Tweedy's bank account, and Professor Tweedy placed the keys and title in her mailbox. Professor Tweedy e-mailed Professor Things to let him know that the car was his, and she described where she had parked the car. Later that day, Rich, thinking that Professor Tweedy had already sold the car to him, went to her mailbox to drop off a check. Seeing the keys and title in her mailbox, he left her the check, grabbed the keys and title, and drove off with the car. As had been his plan all along, he drove the car to California, where he sold it, delivering the keys and title to Jay Leno, a well-known collector of vintage cars. Is Rich correct in thinking that he formed a binding contract with Professor Tweedy? (15 points) Assuming that Professor Tweedy did not form a contract with Rich and sold her car to Professor Things, who bore the risk of loss on the car at the time that Rich took it? (5 points) Jay Leno, having paid for the car and taken title to it, believes that he owns the car. Is he correct? (5 points)
