Amaxophobia - Fear of riding in a car.

kkokoma: U guys fear 2 much, been driving camry big light for one and half year now, no stress. When I wanted to buy people were saying they are always being stolen, do not let fear stop u driving the car u like. Its like not going to the bank because robbers raid there, or not crossing the road because pedestrians get knocked down

Eyop: Bro forget about that car because my very close friend's own was stolen at gunpoint at Mafoluku. When he narrated the ordeal to me,he swore never to buy any Toyota vehicle again. The same armed robbers that robbed him also snatched 2 Toyota Corolla,1 Camry(his own which was over a year old),1 Toyota Highlander and 1 Toyota Rav4. His own was the worst because he lied to them that there's no security installed in the vehicle thinking they will just kick him out of the car but he never knew they will drive it with him but after like 30mins of driving,the vehicle was off and that was how they knew that it has a security installed. He said they beat the hell out of him and after he showed them,they threw him out only with his boxers.

So why buy a car that you won't be able to go out at anytime.

Few cars have a heritage as long as
Toyota's popular compact sedan,
which dates back to 1966. The 2003
redesign of this front-wheel-drive
sedan was modest but meaningful.
Engine output increased by 5
horsepower, and a new, low-
restriction catalytic converter went
into the exhaust system. A higher hip
point was supposed to ease entry.
A high-performance XRS edition fitted
with a 170-hp four-cylinder rather
than the usual 130-hp engine has
joined the 2005 lineup. Three other
versions remain available: the value-
priced CE, upscale LE and sporty S.
Vehicle Stability Control is now
optional on LE and S models
equipped with the automatic
transmission.
Exterior
The Corolla rides a 102.4-inch
wheelbase and measures 178.3
inches long overall. Special design
touches for the sporty S version
include smoked headlights, fog
lamps, front and rear underbody
spoilers, and side rocker panels. An
option package for the S model
includes a rear spoiler and
aluminum-alloy wheels.
All Corollas except the XRS have 15-
inch tires. Michelin performance tires
ride 16-inch alloy wheels on the XRS,
which has a half-inch lower ride
height. Its sport-tuned suspension
includes higher-rate springs and
shocks, as well as a front strut tower
brace developed by Yamaha.
Interior
Up to five occupants fit inside the
Corolla, which features a 60/40-split
folding rear seat in all models but the
XRS. Cargo volume totals 13.6 cubic
feet.
Standard CE equipment includes air
conditioning with a clean-air filter,
power mirrors, a tilt steering column,
intermittent wipers, a tachometer, an
outside temperature gauge and a CD
stereo. The LE adds power windows
and locks, woodlike trim, remote
keyless entry and driver's seat height
adjustment. A unique cloth interior
goes into the sporty S sedan, which
features a leather-wrapped steering
wheel. Bolstered front seats in the
XRS are complemented by Optitron
gauges.
Under the Hood
In CE, S and LE Corollas, a 1.8-liter
four-cylinder generates 130 hp. Either
a five-speed-manual or four-speed-
automatic transmission can be
installed. The XRS is equipped with a
170-hp, 1.8-liter four-cylinder that
teams only with a six-speed-manual
gearbox.
Safety
Seat-mounted side-impact airbags
and side curtain-type airbags are
optional. Antilock brakes are optional
on all trims but the XRS, where they
are standard. Daytime running lights
are standard.
Driving Impressions
Despite its conservative styling and
comparatively high price, the Corolla
has long been one of the best
compacts on the market. It delivers a
satisfying blend of fuel economy,
refinement and reliability. Riding
smoothly, Corollas feel solid and are
confidence-inspiring.
Performance might not stir many
emotions, but the sedan is adequate
for ordinary driving. Acceleration is a
trifle slow from a start, but the
automatic-transmission model quickly
picks up the pace. The engine growls
a tad while accelerating, but it quiets
at highway speeds.
Even though the Corolla maneuvers
neatly in town and takes curves
acceptably, handling isn't quite as
precise as that of some other small
cars. The front seats are comfortable
and supportive. Backseat legroom
isn't quite as appealing.
Spirited performance makes the XRS
unlike the typical Corolla.
Acceleration is confident and the
manual gearbox shifts easily, though
clutch action makes it a bit difficult
to get smooth takeoffs. The ride is
less gentle than a regular Corolla's,
but it's not nearly as harsh as
expected; the suspension is
sufficiently compliant.

Afam4eva: Since he was a Councillor, it's possibly a political assassination. Autopsy should be carried out on the corpse to find out the cause of his death.

emmalexabl: @OP...why not wait till the news is confirmed,before taking a fairy tale to the tabloids.

garnetty: @ op...this property is largely under-priced for such a location. I'm sinister about this sale. What about his children and relatives?. And is the place (as shown in the picture) currently tenanted?. In any case, we can have a deal if it can go for N 12 MILLION subject to contract and all legal formalities.

Swiftlee: Bia..OP, because you drove that car or you sat inside from cotonou to Naija no mean say na you get am!
