Yes o. I don turn pro. Would never have believed it if I'd been told I'd be a passable driver now. I don't need to get the Learners permit I had planned on. My clutch contro is almost perfect now, and I've begun dragging space with those lagos pblic buses.

Having a car has opened me to new realms of responsibility. Been hopping around mechanics but I've found the perfect one. The guy loves the car so much more than even I, the owner. grin grin grin grin

I'm totally in love with the AC of the golf 3. It gets so cold so very quickly, I find it hard to believe people had this kinda luxury in 1996! I have to shut it off every now and then while driving. Fuel economy is top notch. Haven't filled the tank yet tho.

Unfortunately I'm not technical at heart, would have loved to try some DIY fixes myself. Recently put it some security features. My window was smashed in the middle of one night last week, so now I have a battery guard and that 'fuel-lock' security, that once saved my father's mercedes 230e from being driven far by armed robbers in the early 1990s.

Cool, you got a golf. Nice handling car and reliable.

Once you own a car, you'll never want to be without one again. Enjoy your car.

Yes it is!

Maybe in the States or in Europe you can exist without one but here in Nigeria, in a place like Lagos or Abuja.

To me it is.

YMMV

Finding the right bulb for your vehicle is a challenging task. Most people still believe that they just need to check the properties of a bulb without worrying about any other factor. However, that’s not true as there are different types of bulbs like 9005, 9006, and H11 bulbs.

yak:
Anoda side of dis is weda his income can carry it. Eg a man who earns 70k,does it make sense he buys a car?
If you are having a fixed salary and owning a car does not increase your income, then you don't need a car.

But if you are a hustle or in business, your car can increase your income and your car must be able to generate money for its fuel and maintenance.

It's much better if you don't use your salary to fuel your car unless your income is above 200k per month
