55 Flash non-Fiction Friday: Honda Ratings

In January’s consumer reports, my husband read that none of Honda’s vehicles rate well for road noise reduction. I noticed that in our Civic, but I tell you what it does a hell of a job blocking toddler screams. It reduced that noise at least 80% and I didn’t even mind standing in the rain.

The story behind the 55: A month or month and a half ago Kurt read the Honda ratings to me from Consumer Reports and a couple days later I thought of it when Sophia pitched a fit while I tried to get her in her car seat. I finally got her strapped down and then closed the door. I noticed a huge reduction in noise. Standing in the parking lot of a store, I just relaxed out in the rain for a minute before getting in.

Haha, funny… Relaxing in the rain is good, isn’t it? We used to have a Nissan Bluebird ’86. A pathetic excuse for a car, I know… Now we have a Volvo… Sigh… Noise reduction ought to work both ways, don’t you think…?

I’ll take road noise over toddler screams any day. I swear there is something about a child’s voice that will raise your tension faster than any other sound. Or maybe it’s just my kids.
