SCENARIO $1$: LeBron James purchased a new Audi automobile from Southaven Volkswagan, Inc. $($Southaven$),$ in Los Angeles, CA$.$ The following year the James family, who resided in California, left that state for a new home in Cleveland, Ohio. As they passed through Nebraska, another car struck their Audi, causing a fire that severely burned Ms$.$ James and her children. Later on$,$ the Jameses brought a products$-$liability action $($a type of tort$)$ in a court in Nebraska claiming that their injuries resulted from the defective design and placement of the Audi$$s gas tank and fuel system. They sued, among others, Audi's regional distributor, Volkswagen Corp. $($VC$),$ located in San Diego and its retail dealer, Southaven.
