    Honda Civic Hybrid Owner Wins Judgement Against Honda

    Back in December, we’re reported on Heather Peters, an owner of a 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid that was taking Honda to court due to the vehicle never achieving the official EPA fuel mileage ratings. But instead of taking Honda to the circuit court with lawyers, Peters filed the case against Honda at a small claims court. The reasoning behind it; she would have a better shot of winning the case. Peter’s case was to be heard on January 3rd.

    Now, the court has reached a decision on her case. On Wednesday, the court ruled in the favor of Peters and awarded her $9,867 in damages.

    “I am absolutely thrilled. It’s a victory for Civic Hybrid owners and consumers everywhere! Sometimes big justice comes in small packages,” Peters wrote in a email to the New York Times.

    Honda spokesman, Chris Martin said the company plans on appealing the judgement.

    • A couple German phrases I know are ' Bitte ture schliessen' (please close the door, which I learned on the Milan to Venice train 20+ years ago, and 'fahrt nicht bumplitz' (do not drive to Bumplitz) which I read on a Swiss newspaper headline and it stuck in my head...
    • I've learned a few choice phrases in German. Recently, a few buses quarreled with each other by extended honking at a Sicilian airport.   There will always be a German or two or three on the shuttle buses, leaving the airport so I turned to one and said, "Die Sizilen ist unterhaltsam."  That means "Sicily is entertaining." One of the first things I learned is "die Sieben-vier-sieben is sehr gut."  That means "the 747 is very good."
    • I have no clue about current American music and I don't like what I hear.  I think it really peaked in the seventies, eighties and nineties ... and younger people who come to know that music also come to admit that same thing.
    • For Porsche owners long plagued by PADM system malfunctions, there is no longer any need to resort to blindly expensive repairs. The original factory sensors feature a rudimentary design; unable to withstand the daily stresses of high temperatures and road vibrations, detachment and failure have become the norm—leading to repetitive repairs that drain both time and money. Lumistag has professionally engineered a compatible sensor solution, custom-tailored specifically for the entire Porsche 911 and 718 model ranges. Featuring comprehensively upgraded craftsmanship and a robust, solid internal structure, these sensors offer anti-aging and wear-resistance capabilities that far exceed those of the original factory parts. Easily eliminate all fault warnings and bid farewell to chassis-related anomalies once and for all. Offering exceptional value without unnecessary markups, these sensors feature a non-destructive, "plug-and-play" installation process that requires no modification to the vehicle's original wiring. Built for durability and longevity, they represent the premier choice for Porsche owners seeking high-quality maintenance and repair solutions. https://lumistag.com/
