STUART, Justice
(dissenting).
I am unable to agree with the majority opinion.
In my opinion the record is not sufficient to overcome the presumption that plaintiff *404was riding in defendant’s car as a guest. The only evidence here is that plaintiff and defendant, at defendant’s suggestion, went in his car to get some beer out of plaintiff’s car. In my opinion the jury could not properly find plaintiff was not a guest under this evidence. If there was evidence defendant’s insistence overcame plaintiff’s reluctance to make such a trip the situation would have been quite different. Zwan-ziger v. Chicago and Northwestern Railway Co., 259 Iowa 14, 23-24, 141 N.W.2d 568, 574.
MOORE, MASON and LeGRAND, JJ., join in this dissent.
