The Prius "repels" thieves

Δεν μπορούν να πουλήσουν τμήματα του αυτοκινήτου για ανταλλακτικά

Το υβριδικό Toyota Prius να και γνωστό για την οικονομία καυσίμου που προσφέρει, ο κάτοχός του πρέπει να συμβιβαστεί σε επίπεδο εμφάνισης αλλά και στον τομέα των επιδόσεων.

However, as it seems, το ιαπωνικό μοντέλο προσφέρει ένα πλεονέκτημα σε σχέση με τον ανταγωνισμό. Και αυτό είναι η αποτροπή της κλοπής του από επιτήδειους, η οποία μάλιστα δεν βασίζεται σε εξελιγμένα συστήματα ασφαλείας.

Κλοπές οχημάτων γίνονται με στόχο τμήματά τους να χρησιμοποιηθούν σαν ανταλλακτικά. Και εκεί βασίζεται το πλεονέκτημα του Prius.

Όπως αναφέρει το πρακτορείο Bloomberg, μόλις ένα στα 606 μοντέλα Prius από αυτά του ΄08 μέχρι του ’10, είχαν κλαπεί μέχρι το τέλος Ιουνίου, in the USA. On the contrary, οι ιδιοκτήτες ενός στα 78 από τα υπόλοιπα οχήματα, έπεσαν θύμα κλοπής!

«Είναι ένα μοναδικό [σσ. με την κυριολεκτική έννοια] αυτοκίνητο. Τα μέρη του δεν θα ταιριάξουν πουθενά άλλου εκτός από ένα Prius», εξηγεί ο John Abounader, διευθυντής της διεθνούς ένωσης ερευνητών κλοπής αυτοκινήτων (International Association of Auto Theft Investigators).

«Εάν χρησιμοποιείς ένα Camry [σσ. μοντέλο της Toyota με μεγάλες πωλήσεις στη Βόρεια Αμερική], η μηχανή του μπορεί να ταιριάξει σε κάποιο άλλο αυτοκίνητο. Σε ένα Prius, η μηχανή είναι τόσο διαφορετική επειδή είναι υβριδικό», completes.

Katerina Lechos: She speaks for the first time about her health problem

In her recent interview, or Katerina Lechos talked about the very serious health problem he faced in the past and how he overcame it.

"I had a very serious health issue. Which made me lose the ground under my feet and want to bang my head against the wall. The moment you suffer, things are very rough. Fortunately, I managed to cope and emerge victorious. It all started when I was 12 years old. At that age I had already gained a lot of height, that is, I was 1,80! I quickly developed scoliosis, proper treatment was not given and within a short time the deterioration took place, lumbar and thoracic were rapid. I was operated on in England in a terrible condition, with many dangers lurking, as there are many nerves in the spine" admitted the successful actress.

In fact, Katerina Lechou referred to the lengthy surgery she had to undergo: "One mistake in the 12-hour operation and you're gone… I remember not understanding much. I was in pain and crying in my mother's arms, while I kept wondering ”why mom s’ me, why;”. The poor woman didn't know what to answer me. In the end he bought the book ”Why s’ me” and started reading it to me. Somewhere in there I started to calm down. My mom in her absence managed to soften my soul and my pains. Then for five years I wore the 'guardian'. Several years later, the 1998, I had to go through a second operation. I remember then I had to step on the gas to get by".
