for easily stolen.... camry
for most transmission/engine fault... camry
for second hand value...benz....
for fuel economy... camry...but if its d v6 u would hardly notice the difference in fuel consumption..

Your speed must be way above limit sir, there is no way the other vehicle would have gained high speed, after driving through three big speed bumps either on the way from NNPC Mega station or from ship house.
Just thank your creator.

Meanwhile, men in black came visiting while u are abroad, they help u keep the dollars. Hope u know the amount u kept.

Two months is not bad. That is around 50 naira a day for four people. From my findings most average families refill between 7 and ten weeks.

Car Talk › Re: What Could Be The Cause Of Over Heating In Honda Bull Dog by baaliyah(m): 9:32am On Nov 16, 2014

GAZZUZZ:
A lot of things could cause overheating in a car, ranging from coolant leaks to blown head gasket, to a faulty fan, to stuck closed thermostat, look into these issues (starting with the leak) and your problem shold be easily solved.

The pro way.

Most of us are just lazy. The same internet u use to post this 'perceived' problem could be used to get alot of info about ur car including its fuel consumption. Most respondents here keep updating their knowledge. Your car may not necessarily running rich if your former car was a sunny 1.6 litre without A/c. If u have CEL scan ur car. Good luck

Car Talk › Re: Nissan Primera 1999 Model (SE) Vs Toyota Camry Orobo 1996 Model by baaliyah(m): 9:14am On Nov 16, 2014

Bode2:
Pls, which of the two brands is less than 400k( if possible) and which of them is good for a less frequent but long journey(5 hours at a stretch) user. I have a budget for that early next year. Thanks.

Both of them are less than 400k.
OROBO is 250k
PRIMERA is 260k.
You could add some cash and get the two.

@pstacks, you are mixing things up bro, any car that u have to top up ANY liquid has problem, just like your car. The fact that your engine has 6 cylinders doesn t make it work harder than a four. Infact, that Rio works harder than your Bimmer.

Which of the filters did u change. Battery may have gone depending on the last time it was replced. Fan is electrical and could go bad anytime on a 7 year old car. I am not saying tokunbo is better than new but those items you mentioned are not abnormal.
Btw, what assurance do u have that the car is not a Niger used.'reparkaged'

Fashion › Re: Nigerian Tailors And Disappointment: Share Your Experiences by baaliyah(m): 5:36pm On Oct 19, 2014

Originalsly:
Don't you have a policy to sell after X number of days if the customer doesn't pick up? The problem with most tailors...even if they know they don't have the time they will still accept the job...if they say no is like losing money. I stopped using tailors a longgg time ago..sooo much disappointments that I noticed a trend...most tailors that disappoint always work in a position where they can see when anyone is coming so they have time to either grab your cloth and start workig on it...or to disappear. Tailors...almost all are cut from the same cloth...cloth of disappointment. If you had no choice..and was badly disappointed...take them to court...9 out of 10 judges will send them to prison..not because of your evidence....but because of the judge's

Bro, I cant sell customers' cloth. I could sell the already made if you made deposit and you dont balance up within one month, and your deposit refunded to u. I dont want trouble

bitter experiences with them!

Fashion › Re: Nigerian Tailors And Disappointment: Share Your Experiences by baaliyah(m): 2:49pm On Oct 19, 2014*

I had bad experience before I became a tailor. Anyway, customers have the right to complain if they are not satisfied. I currently have more than 10 finished jobs that had been there for months. The owners have refused to come get them. You invested money, time and energy expecting them but.... I rather refuse collecting jobs if the time is insufficient. I hate noise around my shop, that's why I do already made, I collect few clothes from customers. Most of us are not organized to be sincere.

Most dealers in Nigeria use 20w50 on the cars. Even the most popular Toyota dealer does not use synthetic oil. I am sure DANA does not use synthetic.

It took my wife few minutes to deface my Golf. Her hands suddenly became stiff, using one foot on all the three pedals as if the other foot is for fancy. I later thought this good woman was not destined to drive a car.
The best place to learn driving is driving school.
Why waste your time, energy, fuel and your car could be dented because of 10k.
Let professionals teach them and have rest of mind.
At a point, I got angry and asked how she made that grade at the Uni.
