I would have to respect you for what you posted or calling me a liar to bother me. And guess what, I don't

You're inconsequential like I said.

Sagay212:
There is no way you won't recognise your car. There will always be that one thing that will make you know this is not your car. maybe a slight scratch. and the most important thing is you know where you parked your car. Your car won't drive itself and change position. From the story that generated this topic, the guy parked the car some distance away, went into a market, bought whatever he bought, came out and entered a car that was close by because it looked like his. when no be crase dey worry you. At least you should walk down to wherever you parked and if you dont see your car you can come back and check. This is lagos where people are not smiling. You must use your brain.

sukkot:
brah you must think people on nairaland are from yaba left. did you not just say the mechanic was about to lift the engine out of this your dead vehicle ? so you are telling me a mechanic walked up to a car dealer and showed him your dead car with the engine removed, and the car dealer accepted a cheque from the owner of a dead car and a mechanic and let you ride off into the sunset with his car ? you ought to be flogged with koboko or horsewhip for this gargantuan lie. mayne this lie weak me

TRUE STORY

In a big government ministry where I was working in Nigeria,one afternoon a member of staff raised alarm at the car park, that his car has been stolen. So many of us came out of their offices curious and wondering about it all. In a few minutes a big crowd had gathered and the gateman believed that they saw the car being driven out of the ministry.

While the police were being contacted and the car owner was being consoled, he saw and we all saw the car heading for the car park. The man driving the car was also curious about the crowd and wondering what was happening. The man returning the so called stolen car was also a member of staff: a very busy member of staff who about an hour before had realized that his children would be stranded in school and had to rush for the school run. He rushed out to his car at the car park, brought out his keys and opened this Peugeot 504 which looked exactly like his car parked in the next row. He used the same ignition key and drove to the school. Picked the children , dropped them at home and returned to the office oblivious of the fact that he was driving another persons car. Even when he saw the crowd in the car park he never for one minute thought they had anything to do with him until they all charged towards the car.

He was a well known hardworking staff and sure his look alike car was there in the next row and keys opened both cars. I was there.

dokiOloye:
looks like u have issues wt comprehension too.
If ur faculties are all correct u will have reasoned that d owners of a car mart and workshop opposite each other will have known themselves well.
D mechanic workshop is a big time workshop something like gazuzz and co set-up or more,not an under d tree setting.
D car mart is opposite d workshop and both owners know each other and of course my cousin was an old customer of d owner of d mechanic workshop who sometimes comes down to Abakaliki to effect repairs for my cousin at his home.
I will not dignify ur doubting Thomas self wt another reply.
U probably lie a lot,that's why U believe everybody lies on trivial things.

sukkot:
well i dont call that owning it. if you get a car to resell it, thats not owning. maybe he should have said I have SOLD over 100 cars. then we can let him slide on that technicality

EgunMogaji:


Why, yes I am.

PS: over 100

sukkot:
am saying tho, this is aba. its not exactly filled with saints and angels you know ? its filled with some of the most desperate people in the country. so you expecting us to believe that a car dealer let you ride off with his car after signing your name on a useless piece of bank paper is like expecting me to believe that donald trump is from kaduna state. you really must think people on NL are cretins right ?

EgunMogaji:


I mean in Nigeria of all places?

No one is lynching my fat ass

sukkot:
thats not the problem. i call bullshytt for two reasons

1- nigerians in america are very serious minded. nigerians dont go to america to be car enthausiasts. unless OP was born in america and has never ever visited naija which i doubt cuz any nigerian who has never been in nigeria will not come to NL. nigerians in america who have been to naija save their money to buy house in naija or to buy house in america. they dont waste money changing car like pata

2- if you change cars that often it shows you are unstable and the insurance companies will kill you when it comes to time to pay your monthly insurance.

all in all ? a serious minded person cannot own 100 cars in america. this is what illiterate rednecks in the south do. its only illiterate low class white rednecks that buy a bunch of cheap cars. you dont even see serious minded whites doing this type of thing.

unless Egunmogaji is trying to tell us that he is a negro redneck lmao

myners007:
This is the dumbest question i have heard since this year. Why would you open someone else's car if you are not a thief or car snatcher?

charles009:


Lol, you never owned a car before. Be quiet

EgunMogaji:


Like I said, some of us take our hobbies seriously.

If you have to be 90 years old to have used 100 cars then I suggest you have a rethink about your direction.

sukkot:
the poverty mindset is in you trying to convince us that you have owned over 100 cars when we all know its a lie lol.

lepasharon:


Lol you saw that too

swegiedon:

this gat me laughing....like em a negro redneck??seriously??

EgunMogaji:
There's an ongoing debacle that I'm currently in with another userid on here.

He stated that his brother not only opened the wrong but similar car but was actually trying to start the ignition before being accosted by the owner.

Now, I've owned quite a number of cars, well over 100, and have rented many and I have never ever tried to open the door of another car, let alone get inside that car and try to start it.

Personally, my cars are customized somewhat that they always stand out, but by the time I get inside the car I would have known. Smell, seat adjustment, placement of items, etc

So, have you done this before and if so what were the parameters to cause you to violate another man's ride in such a uncouth manner

Jiang:
Thats impossible, unless ofcourse you are a car thief

lantres000:


Bros it has happened to me before when i was using a red Tinny light camry. Came out of a Bar and Was trying to open a similar red camry. My eyes went to the dash board and i saw an Army belt. Exactly when i realised it wasnt my car the army man came and was about to raise alarm and he don even hold my shirt before i quickly pointed to my car and he confirmed it was my car and we both laughed over it. It happens

EgunMogaji:


So her car keys worked on this car for both the door and ignition tumblers?

Seat adjustment, steering wheel adjustment, driving feel, brake pedal feel...oh wait you did say housewife

Egun "male chauvinist pig" Mogaji

Sagay212:


it's only a fool who has never owned a car that will mistake someone else's car for his. and that is what you are. Your car nor get remote abi na kabukabu you dey drive wey you go open another person car. I hope you get caught and dealt with when you make that senseless mistake.

Jiang:


Bar huh?, well that explains alot


INDUSTRIALFAN but even if the outside is thesame, the moment you enter the car & sit down the smell, seat adjustment will all be different, like lantres said d moment he entered he figured the car wasn't his.

Kjnwancaro:



I think it is very possible When the mind is preoccupied with something entirely different and person is not really conscious of the surrounds. At that time he/she is not actually looking but is moving with the general idea that they're supposed to get into a midsize car. They have the trim and the color at the back of their mind. If they're unlucky the lock will open. What I do not understand is how they still do not realize they're in the wrong car after getting in.

lepasharon:


Lol you saw that too

greenhulk:


That must be one very insensitive man. Yes u can mistakingly enter another man's car, yes u can mistakingly start it. But when u drive it out up to the point of taking it to pick ur kids in school, back home and back to office and u still don't realize ur not driving ur car, then u don't deserve to be driving at all. Even if I'm blindfolded I would know if the car I'm riving is mine or not.

EgunMogaji:



I've personally owned over 100 vehicles. Registered in my name, stored in my house and insured in my name

No opportunity for sliding here at all. None. No technicality allowed either. None.
