You just showed your level of knowledge on the hurricane Katrina issue with the government receiving blame for the failure of the levee system which was to hold the water at bay. My good man I'm an engineer so when you speak of such things I'd know.

Also what we have in Nigeria are not hurricanes rather poor waterfront controls, I'm sure the residents of Florida and new Orleans would rather have out situation than theirs

Dude I know this ain't hurricane. I'm not comparing it with Katrina or Irene, I only used that as illustration. Africans especially Nigerians like blaming the goverment for eventyhing even in the case of natural disaster. If I have a property worth N10million and its about getting destroyed unless I spend N100 million yo save it. Then I'm better off letting the property go and spend the N100 million to squire another property somewhere else.

sweetgala:
Really, you might not be suitable for public office or any office of responsibility that is. It's because Nigeria does not have a working property insurance system otherwise the state government would be so much indepted they'll smarten up

It is called act of God and nothing the govt can do about this. U should stop blaming govt for everything. People living in the bay area are aware of risks of ocean surge. This does not only happen in Nigeria, remember hurricane Katrina that happened in the USA in 2005 killing thousands and destroying properties worth more than $100 billion. Also hurricane Irene in 2011 still in the USA destroying properties worth about $60 billion. These things are act of God and little can be done to prevent them. If u are living close to the ocean, u should be aware that these things are bound to happen.

Do u also blame the govt in the event of earthquake or volcanic disaster?

ryanfletcher:
yea,that's a very positive point you just listed there and I'm pretty optimistic that the chineses too in years coming will become the giants too,talking from their growth rate which leaves me to ask something. The US are obviously the giants in almost all aspects ,where do they now go from the top

It is going to be a stiff competition at the top and there will be only winner . THE CONSUMERS. Remember when MTN sim card was sold for N21,000? Now it is free because if competition.

ryanfletcher:
well I wouldn't doubt it though becoz toyata started this exact same way,going from fake cars in the 70's to much more reliable cars in the latter stage,I'm pretty sure that Korea will get there too

That is the way business works. U don't just start from the top especially when there are top dogs, u will crash. U need to start from the bottom and win the low end market, then gradually climb ur way to the top. Samsung didn't become the world's biggest phone maker overnight in the past they were known for making cheap phones, but look where they are now.

ryanfletcher:
kia?? so you wasted seun disk space just to create a trend for this? well you ate better of with a cabin biscuit cartoon than buy any kia product

That was in the past. The new generation kia optima is there among others in its class. Better than then current generation Toyota Camry.

akinloluwao:
Kia is not bad but Toyota is better sir. I have used kia sephia II and its the same engine with kia Rio and I am currently driving a Toyota brand. The difference is very very clear just like 7up. If possible, please go for Toyota.

So every Toyota is better than every kia according to u. That means a 2015 Toyota yaris is better than a 2015 kia optima?

. . . maybe that's where the problem is or maybe not. What made you open the radiator cap in the first place? Anyway, that's medicine after death but For now, open the hood to allow air flow into the engine. When the vehicle is cool, tighten the radiator cap properly and give it a go once again.

These are more maybe the reason for your vehicle overheat, have it checked if you find any of the following culprit:

- radiator leaking
- radiator is clogged
- thermostat stuck or missing
- one or both of your fan not working

Long story. The engine overheated because he forgot to tighten the radiator cap. Simple.

pls what is CV joint?

Ball joint

CV joints

https://honda-tech.com/attachments/transmission-drivetrain-127/140089d1277247672-keep-breaking-cv-joints-soon-i-move-car-img_2947.jpg

Nothing wrong with Honda. Just do ur routine maintenance, most people with leg pulling problems are just careless. Before a honda leg can pull, it will definitely give u some signs. But some people will keep driving the car even with weird sound on the suspension area, they will drive until the leg comes off.

Also when buying parts like CV joints, try as much as possible to get geunine ones. Never use take CV joints for Honda as u might get disappointed. If u can't get genuine ones, then try to change them every 6 months whether they come off or not. My own has been there for 2 and half years now still going strong never come off.

chukel:
never say ABSOLUTELY NO WAY. There are things that happen and you just can't explain. I'm meticulous when it comes to car maintenance

There is NO WAY an Avalon can have a better fuel economy than a 4 cylinder camry (at least of similar generation) unless something is wrong with the camry.

timbros:
Hahahaha.....

Exactly what I just typed. I didn't even see your comment when I posted mine.

It is very funny how people can make up silly stories, and others just believe them. Smh

Bulletproof money lol. PURE CRAP. Op what's the title of this nolywood clip? I want to buy, or any link to download?

Come to think of it, if money refused to get burnt, and then disappeared, what stops the men from disappearing before getting caught? This just confirms this story is PURE CRAP.

DGD1:
the fuel difference is very small, don't deprive your self the Camry because of that. even a V6 variant of the Camry is nt a fuel guzzler.
bt Pls make sure the Nigeria used corrola has not been *tropicalized*

Don't be deceived. Fuel difference might be small on long distance journey, but where the corolla shines is within city and stop and go traffic. A camry v6 in stop and go traffic and short distance will consume a significant amount of fuel more than a corolla.

wizean:
Did u just say more fuel? Dats pretty discouraging !

U don't expect a 2.2L car to have the same fuel economy like a 1.8L. Ok it might be possible with technologies available on new generation cars, both for 2001 camry and 2003 corolla, no way. A camry will use more fuel.

I don't see the need here. I mean u spend a lot of time waxing ur car and then try to drive out and it starts raining. U drive through puddle and mud coupled with all the dust. By the time u get back home ur car is already a mess. Abroad I can have my car unwashed for up to 2 weeks and it will remain shining, but here u need to each ur cars everyday.

Same reason it is useless using rug car mats. Sometimes ago I got myself an expensive rug mats for my car shipped from Dubai. After a few weeks of using it I was forced to cover it with rubber mats. Can u imagine a cheap rubber mat laid on top of expensive rugs.

Both cars are boring, but a tokunbo 2001 camry is still better. In fact a tokunbo 2001 camry is still better than a tokunbo 2003 corolla not to talk of Nigerian used.

chucky234:
Biased, Camry better than Evil Spirit?
Not in this world or the world to come, V6 2009 Evil Spirit will dump out 2007 Avalon in performance, go figure.

I think the one being biased is u. I also love honda and will always choose the accord over a camry. But 2008 Honda accord evil spirit v6 is no match for a 2007 Avalon. And the current generation avalon will also smoke a 2015 Honda Accord v6.

Evil spirit is a great car in its class, but the leather seats are so terrible while the leather seats in an Avalon are on per with a Lexus. Also The Avalon oozes more class and luxury than evil spirit.

U should wait at least 48 hours before declaring him missing. Also how do u know he absconded with or stole the vehicle ? Anything could have happened, his life could be in danger.

How come nobody is talking about the cracked dashboard associated with Infiniti fx34/45. At least 3 out of 5 fx I see have cracked dashboard. Talk about build quality.

For your perusal.

Handling stability Torque and Horsepower


The RX will always be a toy when compared to the FX

Handling: debatable
Torque: yes
Horsepower: yes
Stability: yes.

But what u fail to understand is power, torque and speed is not the only thing to look for in a car. There is reliability, practicality, comfort, warranty, resale value etc. That is why more people at home and abroad are choosing the rx330 over the Infiniti. The fx will drop up to 50% of its resale value after 3 years of leaving the factory while the rx 330 will hold up to 70% of its value after the same year.

zinachidi:
u don't expect many people to buy this tecno phone when they can get a high end xperia which has almost exact specs for the same price or less.. Talking about brand, maybe they would, if they see a celeb rocking the phone though.

No u can't. Sony xperia z3 is a 2014 flagship and still costs about 120k naira. HTC one m8 is a 2014 flagship and still costs above 100k naira. Do u know how much a galaxy s6 cost? I don't use tecno, not a fan, but good things cost money. Tecno making a phone that costs 70k doesn't mean they will stop making phones that costs 17k. U buy the one that suits u and u can afford.

shamecurls:
Common.....An Infiniti is as reliable as a Lexus with better handling, stability and excess of power. Boss, If u cruise and FX, U will agree with me that an RX is a toy

Both the fx and rx330 are great cars. Fx is focused on speed and looks more aggressive. The rx330 on the other hand focused mainly on comfort with softer suspension. And as much as some people will disagree, its got the Toyota reliability which is not a myth. If I am to travel a long distance say 10 hrs drive, I'll prefer to ride in an rx. I feel so uncomfortable riding long distance on a fx due to its suspension, especially on our bad roads. On the other hand if I want to travel short distance on smooth roads, then fx it is.. That thing is a beast.

Bot h cars are sweet. I assume u are getting the accord v6 since the Avalon is also v6. I still prefer. I prefer the Avalon for just one reason..... The leather seat on 08 accord v6 is terrible and that's a FACT.

Remove the murano from the list, unless u mean 2015 murano then its a go.

achinaboy:
just enjoy your car, my sis got one,and it's moving like bbomb, just make sure you fuel it before it enters reserve or red,,if the engine gives you problems, you take it out and put 4cylinder, but before that would happen,you might have finish enjoying the car to the last,

How about changing to another v6. I mean why buy a v6 in the first place when u are going to change the engine to i4.

Are u kidding me? My friend run go buy the Lexus now now before dem deceive u.

Rx350 kicks venza's a$s in every segment (well maybe unless u care about the slightly better fuel economy of the venza). It is more beautiful and has better interior. Also more sound insulation and better suspension, better gadgets.

marshalcarter:
What sort of nonsense is dis ...all dis peugeot nd bmw users u guys are really disgracin toyota users(not a fan of toyota sha )bet why?? I mean why

Ikenna 351....warn ya peugoet users never to pass us lyk dat nxt tym oo....adinor lyk it.....

Meanwhile i want to get a beamer nd I need advice on which series ashu take tnx

What model of Camry do u drive? Driver matters u know, and I don't think a Peugeot 406 i4/v6 is faster than a Camry i4/v6 of the same year. It depends on the driver. It is simply the belief of people driving European thinking their cars are always faster.

One of ur rear lights have blown.if it comes on when u press the brake then its one of ur brake lights. If it comes on when u turn on the lights then its ur rear light.

Watch this video.

Ur check engine light is on. Everything is not perfect.

1.5. Serious buyer.

Lol, nothing wey person no go see for nairalaind. Lenovo A5000 against iPhone 6. This is like comparing a Ferrari against a Toyota corolla lol. Longer battery? Same way a corolla has better fuel economy than a Ferrari. With N1,000 fuel u can travel 200km on a corolla, but on a Ferrari u can hardly travel 20km. Even at that a Ferrari 458 spider will comfortably buy 15 Toyota corolla. Does that make the corolla a better car?

Where's ur location?
