Tsirtsis v. Zampolli CA4/3
This case is confirmation of our fathers’ repeated adjurations to “get the oil changed.” In this opinion we affirm a judgment for about $28,000 obtained by the plaintiff who, in 2004, purchased a used 1995 Lamborghini Diablo, against a mechanical engineer who attempted to restore the Diablo to correct working order after the car’s engine caught fire thanks to a history of less-than-sufficiently-frequent oil changes. The judgment consists of $8,000 for a prepaid 15,000-mile service the mechanical engineer never performed, plus about $20,000 for the car’s engine which the mechanical engineer had taken apart and never put back together. In seeking reversal of the judgment, the mechanical engineer points to a series of four alleged irregularities in the court trial of the case, but we find none persuasive and affirm the judgment.
