6. Which choice-of-law rules must the court use to determine whether State C's guest statute applies?
A surfer from State A brought a diversity action against a hairdresser from State B in State B federal court. The surfer's single-count complaint sought damages for injuries he suffered from a car accident in State C when he was a passenger in the hairdresser's automobile. State C's guest statute provides a valid defense to the surfer's claim but neither State A nor State B has a guest statute.
