Honda first appeared in the United States in 1959; shortly thereafter Rick Case recognized the brilliance of the brand and opened his first Honda dealership in May 1965. A mere three years later Rick Case received an award for his outstanding sales in the United States from Mr. Honda in Japan. Continuing on the road to success, in June of 1972 Rick Case opened his first Honda automobile dealership in Ohio and set Honda’s all time national sales record in his first month of business as the first dealer ever to sell more than 100 new cars. Just a year later, Mr. Honda himself made a special trip to the Rick Case Honda dealership on I-90 at East 200 Street in Cleveland, Ohio which was at the time America’s largest Honda dealer. Thirty-six years later, the dealership still going strong selling Hondas. Established as a leading force for Honda, Rick Case again made enormous strides in the automotive industry by opening the world’s first Acura dealership in March 1986 in Fort Lauderdale, FL and has been the world’s largest dealer 7 years in a row. With success comes expansion, which is why in March 2002 Rick Case opened a new Honda automobile dealership in Fort Lauderdale, FL. With this new dealership, Rick Case became America’s largest dealer within the first month the dealership opened by selling 734 new Honda cars. By the end of the dealership’s first full year in business, became America’s largest volume Honda automobile dealer. No stranger to setting records, Rick Case made history again in August 2003 setting the national record for the most new Honda cars sold in one month, totaling 1,222 – a record he still currently holds. In December 2005, Rick Case set another national record that still stands today by selling 614 new Honda motorcycles in one month – the most ever sold in one month. The road leading up to now has been paved with tremendous success, unrivaled triumphs and outstanding developments for Honda and Rick Case.

Businesses, yes, they want to make sure everybody stays safe. Maybe you went out, you got a generator, now you got to figure out how to use it. That is one of the big points this morning. That's right, safety is so important. Rick Case Honda Powerhouse is demonstrating generator safety tips today. Local 10 News reporter Parker Brandon joins us live from Davy Parker. I mean, the generator's great when the power goes out. What's not great is that carbon monoxide poisoning, which is always a concern. Yeah, JC, you are exactly right, and that is what they are trying to teach people to avoid here at Rick Case Honda Powerhouse. Take a look at the line right here. This is just one of them here inside of the store. People getting generators. They say even though we might not feel those direct impacts, major impacts or major outages, they want to be prepared for the future. We, I prepaid yesterday, so I have the generator reserved for us. People lining up at Rick Case Honda Powerhouse to buy a generator. I hate losing power, and I just, I'm real crazy about that, and I just want to be safe. A truck arriving bright and early to deliver. Generators flying off the shelves at local stores over the last few days, as many prepare for what Dorian may bring. With this storm coming, we ordered three trucks of generators just in case to have inventory for the community. Ryan Case says for those first time buyers, remember to not leave the generators running indoors to avoid carbon monoxide. Be ready, it's the beginning of season. Anything could happen. Even if Dorian doesn't cause major power outages, many say they are glad to have purchased now before another major storm could come barreling through. Last time I lost power for And we told you there were multiple lines. You're taking a live look at one of the other lines here inside of Rick Case Honda Powerhouse, and they told me that they actually called one of their trucks in early. It's expected to arrive this afternoon. Another truck full of generators, about 500 generators on each truck, and then another truck, two trucks, another one is supposed to come tomorrow morning. So of course they expect not to run out here as they hope to supply those people who still want a generator again, but they're also again providing those much needed information and details and giving tips on how to stay safe once they are purchased. For now we are live in Davy Parker-Brandt in Local 10 News. We need those refresher courses. Yes we do, no question. When we get lucky and we don't get hit by a storm, we forget the details, so Parker we appreciate all of that today. Thank you.
