Vacora:Becaause it's readily available and it's basics... terrorists aren't interested in luxuries and fine-tuning of engines and cars...they are interested in killing and any car that can move them from point A to B is welcomed Benz is a car that transcends movements from point A to B , Benz owners understand that concept |
MartinsD12:That was my anger with the OP, Why is he even thinking and doing such a travesty...how can he compare Benz with Toyota He should compare Toyota with Mazda, Subaru, Kia and Skoda He should compare Benz with BMW, Audi , Lincoln, Aston Martin etc He is busy comparing apples and oranges |
You captured it author=Openbusiness post=86910884] When the iPhone 4 was made, what was the equivalent android available, maybe the symbian android, then maybe the java blackberry. They're all dead, but the iPhone 4 is still here, could be updated up to ios 7 or 8 I think, and in that era the iphone 4 was "bragging material" just like the V-boot in its era was bragging material etc. But nobody is talking bragging rights here, I don’t know why you have brought that up into this conversation or what exactly you're driving at with it. We're talking the everyday misconceptions about certain brands of cars like the Toyota and Benz etc. Every car manufacturer produces a car in a certain segment, and by so, different cars from different manufacturers fall in the same segment and certain models fall within the same group and this establishes the grounds for comparison. For example, you can't compare an S550 Benz sedan with a camry, even though they are both in the same segment (SEDAN), they are not in the same group or class. But you can compare an E350 Benz with maybe a camry or avalon. Now, it doesn't matter how you look at it or grade it, it doesn't matter which year you consider, let's even say 2001 model, a E350 model of that year is more luxurious than a camry same year, and in that same era the man driving that 2001 camry still falls under the broke people category. If only we had a time machine to go back in time, say, 2001, and let's see the kind of people that "EXCLUSIVELY" own the 2001 E350 compared to those that "exclusively " own the 2001 Camry. Check their thinking, it's the same kind of mindset with the Toyota buyers of today: 'does it chop fuel', 'shey the parts full market', 'can baba Kazeem repair it' etc. But check out those buying benz, their mindset is how many HP on this baby, can it go 0 - 100 in 6 secs, what kind of tech is inside etc. And that's how rich people think when buying cars, they think LUXURY and Performance to guide their choice. But BROKE PEOPLE think fuel efficiency and maintenance costs as their deciding factor in buying a car. And that's why I said before that "MOST" people that own Toyotas and Hondas fall in the broke people category. It's not an insult, it's just an intelligent observation about consistent human behavior.[/quote] |
BadBradley:Awesome, you have lectured them enough |
maynation:Benz has been a brand of repute and they rarely do advert because they know that they have loyal customers ....I am driving the second Benz... seriously I started with Japanese cars but as of today, I doubt if I can drive Japanese again It's a personal thing ...I enjoy in Benz the handling |
Smartchoiice:I You know I have been following this thread and i have seen the postulations of folks here. ..the truth must be said, globally Benz is a prestigious and luxury brand while Toyota is an utility car.... They introduced Lexus to measure up but still Benz is far from them, I am not even talking about AMG or Brabus or Maybach of Benz Wait a minute! Who even in his right senses compared Toyota with a Benz ! Its crazy! Well this is what you get here In the motoring world or auto industry, the test of performance and ruggedity of engines is a sports known as Formula 1 (F1) in this race, cars engines are pushed to the limit and it is the creme de la creme of cars participate in this sports! Engines are pushed to the limits , the best moments torques, powers, transmission and compression are brought to the bare! F1 is what it is and guess what ? Toyota, Lexus haven't ever won the race before ! In short Toyota had to leave F1 out of shame ! But Benz have won it over and over and even won it last year! Let's bring this shìt home, how many times have you seen a Benz car on the road side spoilt! I mean how many times have you seen a Benz engine giving that blue smoke ! One thing about Benz owners is that they have come to appreciate and understand that there is more to owning cars , there is more to taking one from point A to point B, Benz owners understand that and they have transcended that ! Why argue ? Who argues! Benz is one of the finest engineered cars and not even every mechanic can touch it, I mean when you open the engine bay and see the craftsmanship in the engines the you realise the saying The best or nothing |
maynation:Benz has always been there even Biggy, Tupac etc sang about Benz and BMW |

Benz owners have a philosophy and they understand that driving cars isn't all about MPG or some cheap parts! They understand that ! Not that Toyota isn't good, it is but Let us keep Toyota for taxi services and escort runs ! Why argue ? Who argues!

Cavallari:It is medicinal...if you have spots that refuse to go, original snake oil would clean up your skin...as snake shreds the skin, the way it shreds the spots ... |
mammanbawa:That is my position....it doesn't make economic sense to export and import the car again.... |
shortgun:You are right....most 2000 models of Benz have that feature |
UncutSk:Nissan� that car death with me years ago! |
shortgun:Yes, for me , anything I don't get, I ask Google and use YouTube though not all Benz have tipronic I thinks it's from 2003 they stared having it as standard feature |
StreetFight:Are you daft...I am talking about the kings you are talking about some drug deals gone wrong It is either Yoruba king slapping a other or some dìck measurement with some ooni or some Yoruba king in messy divorce issue Or some Yoruba king blaming Alcohol on their crazies .... It's so funny. |
Yoruba kings are drama kings Give them oduduwa Republic watch them tear themselves into shreds In few years |
I did a YouTube research and I have learnt the usage ...it's cool...I just put drive but with tipronic, I can control the speed of the car https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvrQyy0alpc |
Tiptronic Transmission The working mechanism of this system may seem a complex because it makes use the techniques of both transmission types. It’s a no-brainer to tell that it has two modes – automatic transmission and manual shifting. The Automatic Mode – The car’s ECU controls the entire transmission system, requiring the driver to do nothing more than handle the brake and accelerator. This mode is suitable for amateur driver and when you are driving in a city. It will offer a hassle-free navigation through all the traffic. The Manual Mode – It allows the driver to take control of the transmission, of the shifting of gears to be precise. There are steering-mounted pedals or a gear knob to make the switching of modes. When you use it, the internal transmission actuators change the gear to either upshift or downshift position. #copied

The unique benefits of Tiptronic technology are: Gear controls can be performed by both the driver and the car’s computer system (ECU), which is suitable for both novice and experienced drivers. Manual navigation of upshift and downshift allows a driver to have more control over the gear-shifting action. To ensure safety, there’s a built-in safeguard to revert to automatic control if the driver overlooks the RPM redline. Just like navigating an automatic transmission, it does not require much skill to operate a Tiptronic transmission. So, even the beginner drivers can drive a car with this mechanism. |
Definition of Tiptronic Transmission This particular type is similar to automatic transmission but has an option for the driver to shift the gears manually. It allows you upshift and downshift in that mode by using the gear lever or the paddles behind the steering wheel. It was developed with the idea of extracting the best performance from a vehicle. In contrast to the semi-automatics, the technology in Tiptronic transmission utilizes a torque converter instead of a clutch. It also incorporates some manual functions in an automatic mechanism. |
shortgun:You are totally right! She wants to make a statement that she got a Benz as of trolls here.. take them serious at your own peril! Trust me bro They are bunch of noise makers here so the best thing is that I ignored them! They can brag for Africa |
mammanbawa:. Don't mind Tasha she is trying to trend and make people understand she drives a Benz...I totally understand the prestige behind owning a Benz ! Trust me she wants to trend ! Shipping Benz from Africa to Europe the continent of the producers is madness and stupidity! Tasha has always demonstrated stupidity anyway Though with permission she can drive that are in UK anyway ..but it's not worth it |
shortgun you are extremely right about that tipronic, my mechanic taught me that ....when you get to drive, you tip the gear shift left a bit, a tiny tip, it enters one, another tiny tip, it enters 2 another it enters 3 another it enters gear 4 another it enters gear 5 ... It would be showing on the dashboard but the truth is that I have never seen the need to use it ..maybe you have to teach me when it would be used and how it can be used ...would the car be on motion or stationary ? I love driving manual so I can tip the gear well! But the snag is that I am thinking If it's possible to use that in Lagos traffic ?

BOSE beta sound system is standard in Mercedes cars from 00 models Personally Bose reputation precedes them...just like Bang and Olufsen or maybe Nippon
|
Fentanyl:Oh that is a new one, so niche is a new thing to you but, ...I have noticed you... Next Abeg no dey mention me Oga Levinson .... Mention the OP |
shortgun:I think once you drive Benz it becomes addiction |
Ejebleje:Cars like Benz , BMW, Range and Porsche come with premium speakers ! They are niche market cars |
KINGreignn:My car comes with Bose speakers six of em! Its massive ! I don't loud it , the bass is awesome but the player has mode from classic to pop to raggea then hip hop ...it changes the sounds to your specifications |
Originalsly:Dude you got some taste ! |
In cars ...I would go for Bose ! Benz is what is it In homes I would go for bang and okufsen |
I don't understand Yoruba quote author=Rossinnki post=86877684] The people!!!!! Look, do you realise that 'Igbos' and 'Yorubas' are merely part of a much larger, ancient group that dispersed at some point in the past and found themselves in separate settlements, altering slightly over centuries of separation, the original common language they once spoke? In fact, Igbo and Yoruba are virtually the same language, with a few pronunciation variations and word additions from other external cultural encounters. LANGUAGE SIMILARITIES Igbo Yoruba Onu (mouth) Enu (mouth) Imi (nose) Imu (nose) Nti (ear) Eti (ear) Gini (what) Kini (what) Mbala (backyard) Abala (backyard) Iba (fever) Iba (fever) Agba (calabash) Igba (Calabash) Okute (stone) Okuta (stone) Aga (barren) Agan (barren) Ise (amen) Ase (amen) Ejime/Ejima (twin) Ejire (twin) Osi (he said) Oso (he said) Ka (big) Ga (big) Siri (said) Soro (said) Miri (water) Omi (water) Odinma (it is good) Oda (it is good) Ewu (goat) Ewure (goat) Awi (grey hair) Ewu (grey hair) Okunrin (man) Okenye (man) Obinrin (woman) Aborun (woman) Owambe (it is there) Onoeba (it is there) Eniyan (person who..)

Let it ( ko) Let it (ko) Yoruba Are 99.9% Genetically Identical To Igbos – Study Genetic research finds that there is little genetic difference between most African ethnic groups and less so when they are closer together. A study published in the Bio Medical Center found there was little evidence for significant population substructure in the four major West African ethnic groups, the Yoruba and Igbo of Nigeria and Akan and Gaa-Adangbe of Ghana. The findings, according to the team, “although not entirely surprising given the geographical proximity of these groups, provide important insights into the genetic relationships between the ethnic groups studied and confirm previous results that showed close genetic relationship between most studied West African groups.” The study was conducted by Adebowale Adeyemo, Guanjie Chen2, Yuanxiu Chen and Charles Rotimi of the University of Ibadan, National Human Genome Center and Howard university. Analysis of Molecular Variance, AMOVA was used. Adebowale et al made the shocking discovery that whereas there was 99.9% within-population variance, the between-population variance was less than 0.1%. This means that Yorubas, Igbos, Gaa and Akan are 99.9% similar as populations, while within each of the groups there are differences/variations between individuals as high as 99%, i.e. One Igbo may be 99% variant to another Igbo, or one Yoruba to another Yoruba. http://newsrescue.com/yoruba-are-99-adangbe-study/#axzz4EytOCs6T In other words, FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING, greater genetic differences exist within the ethnic groups than between them! This was why shared language was NEVER a unifying factor to our ancestors!! It is a 100% colonial concept!!![/quote] |
