You confirmed what he said. Lightning can't do shit to a car.
Even the top gear bloke said the car shell acts like a Faraday cage.
Fake news.!!!
TravelRe: Air Peace Plane Overshoots Runway In Port Harcourt by 9icetoo(m): 8:23am On Jun 23, 2019
Originalsly:
Hmmm...interesting. Rainfall was concentrated in the area.... couldn't the pilot circle until the storm subsided?...or was he low on fuel?... With such rain... there is usually high winds ... was shear a factor?...which usually result in planes skidding off the strip?.. Heavy rains mean low visibility... were there lights on the runway to guide the pilot?... if not ...maybe he misjudged the strip. Is there good drainage for the rains to quickly run off... or was it all flooded? The good thing is... there is enough room for the plane to safely come to a stop. They need to investigate and take corrective actions.
Exactly the sort of questions we should be asking. Not to say it won't happen abroad or hydroplaning is a theory.

If you think rain or mud is slippery, try snow.

There r airports in countries with like Russia, Canada, China, UK etc where they r snow but things things like this don't come up.

No excuse for failure o. That plane tire don chop, make them go replace am and resurface d tarmac. They should also check the brakes on the aircraft or perhaps, consider replacing some of their flying Dinosaurs.
There could be a lot of reasons, poor visibility, faulty radar equipment on the part of the airport, faulty instrument landing support equipment on the part of the airport, hydroplaning (this is fact not theory),
faulty reverse thrusters on the aircraft, error on the part of the pilots etc. Wait for the AIB to conclude their investigations and give us the result. And FYI, planes have overrun tarmac in the USA, Japan, china, Canada, France and UK. It is not unusual.

With great powers come great responsibilities.

Our people should stop buying these luxury cars if they can find support for it.

An engine will give a lot of warning before total failure. Our people ignore all those warning lights because it is normal.

If you have to own a car, buy the one you want to own not the one that will own you

Making big power on a small engine is nothing impressive.

Making big power on a small engine without it grenading after 5k miles is what is actually worthy of note.
That's the koko. Next you hear you have to replace the turbo and water pump every 80,000 miles.

Car TalkRe: Engine Oil: Changing From Total Synthetic To Mobil by 9icetoo(m): 12:25pm On Jun 07, 2019
If it's not synthetic, it's not synthetic. That's a marketing gimmick.

Nothing wrong in switching from total quartz 7000 to Mobil 1 as long as Mobil 1 is suitable for your engine and you don't have sludge in the engine.

Autojosh, after all the accident pictures, you didn't post a picture of the speed limit sign on 3rd mainland bridge.
The towing vehicle in your post was speeding above 70km/hr too I guess.

I used to like your write-ups but it seems like you don't think them through before posting lately.

Distractions and lane violations are some of the leading causes of accidents on 3mb

The number of drivers who are on their phones and or distracted while on 3mb is shocking.
Car TalkRe: 2006 Bmw 325i Vs 2009 Volkswagen Jetta 1.6L by 9icetoo(m): 5:55pm On Jun 05, 2019
tensazangetsu20:
I have seen you mention the BMW electric water pump over and over again as a very unreliable gadget. You do realise the tokunbo ones do not work right because of how they are stored. BMW recommends storing them with coolant if they are ever removed for a long period of time. I got an F10 with water pump issues at the beginning of the year. Imported new OEM water pumps and the car has been fine ever since. Most cars will eliminate mechanical water pumps especially with the introduction of 48 volt systems. Mercedes already has in its new M256 engines. I expect the Japanese to follow suit in the next six or seven years.

NB: The cost of the water pump and importation down to Nigeria came down to 130k. It could have been cheaper if I went for the Siemens VDO aftermarket one. I was looking for strictly OEM from BMW and I didn't know then that Siemens is the one who made those water pumps for BMW. The tokunbo ones I tried that all failed came in at around 80000.
Nkita mikwaa ekwensu onu!!!!!!!
Did you just type 80k for water pump? Abi na mistake?
Car TalkRe: 2006 Bmw 325i Vs 2009 Volkswagen Jetta 1.6L by 9icetoo(m): 7:43am On Jun 03, 2019
kingreign:
None are reliable. They're both very reliable especially the BMW with its electric water pump. Notorious electrical, terribly made interior bits and trims, poor quality plastics and poor ergonomics.
Apart from the iffy electric water pump, I didn't know it had all the other trim issues. Though I noticed my friends e90 door handle sticks to my hand like glue sometimes. Tot it was a one off caused probably by diesel coming in contact with it.

Maintenance.......same
Availability of mechanics when shit hits the fan... Beemer
Performance... Beemer
Resale value.... Same for both cars
Wow value... Beemer
Chicks magnet... Beemer grin grin
What you buy... Your choice.
Buy what you like.
Those two aren't high up on reliability rankings.
If you don't mind the fueling cost, get the Beemer.
Car TalkRe: Honda Pilot / Acuda MDX / Toyota Highlander / Lexus RX Dilemna by 9icetoo(m): 3:49pm On Jun 02, 2019
drpossibilities:
I just got the MDX, 2004 Model. How do you manage the issue of recommended fuel that is Premium Unleaded Fuel.
It's not an issue for the 2004 as it says "recommended" and not "required". You would have experienced slight power loss and reduced performance and maybe occasional pinging it premium pms was required.
Have fun with your car, your engine ecu will adjust to the 87 octane pms we have in Nigeria.
OP, get the highlander. If you can get the 4wd, you'd have the best of both worlds. It's a freaking reliable suv
Car TalkRe: Advice Needed On Acura MDX 2008 by 9icetoo(m): 7:27pm On May 29, 2019
Good car.
Don't know how well maintained the specimen you want to buy is. Ask the owner what engine oil he has been servicing with. Electrical are sturdy. The shawd is also sturdy. Make sure the one on the specimen is still working else you will have FWD mdx.

If previous owner has been servicing with anything other than 5w-20or 5w-30, stay away from the car. Engine doesn't come cheap.
Car TalkRe: Honda City 2007 Jerking While In Gear by 9icetoo(m): 10:27am On May 26, 2019
CityNGR:
Coils don't jerk only when driving... They must at least cause a misfire at idle.... I'd go with oluwaseunla's prognosis... Mounts, tranny. Op all the best. But why not scan the vehicle?
True that. Happened to me as well. Got coils from Gazzuzz, swapped and the jerking disappeared meanwhile every mechanic I engaged said my coils were okay.
Car TalkRe: Mileage Of 180k??? by 9icetoo(m): 8:21am On May 21, 2019
The mileage is fair.
OP won't really be doing many miles a year.
Max he will probably do is 8000 miles a year.
If he keeps the vehicle for 5-6 years, he'd add another 40000- 48000 miles to it.

As long as he avoids Jack rabbit starts, doesn't connect his fan direct nor delete thermostat, uses the right weight oils and follows manufacturers OCI, he will be okay.

The only components he may be changing in the five years of use if he adheres to manufacturer instructions are things like radiator fans, suspension components, a fuse here or there, bulbs, etc. These are not going to burn a hole in his pocket.

Enjoy your car OP. The price is okay for the mileage (if the dealers haven't adjusted it).
Car TalkRe: List Of Cyber Bullies On Cartalk Section Of Nairaland by 9icetoo(m): 10:40pm On May 20, 2019
When someone errs and is corrected but adamantly refuses to accept correction while throwing a tantrum about it, he is set straight.

The guys you alleged were bullied had it coming.
From turning car talk to sales section, to posting old wives tales.
How can someone tell you not to turn on your AC until your temperature indicator gets to the middle? How?

I see the humour and sarcasm in the "bullies" posts and I tell you, a lot of people are wiser for it.

Do not be deceived. AWD sedans don't offer any significant advantage over FWD in mud or sand. In fact if u are not a type that likes to race then u don't need an AWD sedan. Its just an extra thing that would break.
They do. Ever tried to climb a slippery slope in the village with a FWD during the rainy season? You go spin your tire to oblivion and vehicle won't move an inch. Been there, done that. An acura TL with SHAWD climbed it like a boss.
