Car Talk › Re: Turkmenistan President Bans All Black Cars From Country’s Capital by bigtt76(f): 9:40am On Jan 12, 2018 |

In Turkmenistan , a country wedged between Iran, Afghanistan, and Uzbekistan,drivers don't get to choose the color of their cars. Their president chooses for them.
After first implementing a stop on importation of black cars into Turkmenistan in 2015, President Kurbanguly Berdymukhamedov has now banned all black cars throughout the country's capital, Ashgabat, from January 2018 forward.
For the last few weeks, dark coloured vehicles have been seized by police because the country's president considers white to be lucky. He is a known lover of white, living in a white palace and travelling in white limousines in line with his belief the colour brings good fortune.
[img]https:///a/img923/6747/PGd8hI.jpg[/img]
To retrieve their cars, their owners are reportedly required to sign a document agreeing to respray the paint in a lighter color. This order from the federal government immediately increased the prices of the local auto body shops from about $500 for a full car respray to $1,000 and more, in a country with an average wage of less than $500 per month.
Previous unpopular car related rules in Ashgabat include banning tinted windows in 2014 and restricting the engine size on imported cars in 2015.He also outlawed imports of coupes and personalised number plates.
He is also believed to have forced apartment buildings to remove their air conditioning units to guarantee the pure appearance of his shining white capital. The country also recently banned women from driving because they have been accused of causing most car accidents. Berdymukhammedov also drives a green Bugatti Veyron and rules over one of the most oppressive regimes in the world, even for people who don’t drive black cars.

Romance › Re: How I Caught My Cheating Fiancee During The Christmas Holiday by bigtt76(f): 8:36am On Jan 08, 2018 |
Choi ....your girl be some smooth operator  she for wreck you die shaaa wisdomguy4u: My fellow nairalanders, pls you guys should follow me digest this my matter. Una fit learn one or two things.
Around 23rd of Dec 2017, i travelled from benin to my hometown in Anambra state for the Christmas holiday. While on the way i called my fiancee who stays in Onitsha with her parents, i asked her if we could lodge in a hotel when i get to onitsha so i can continue my journey to my hometown the next day. She told me she can't sleepover as her parents won't let her ( as she was expected to cook the next day). So we agreed that when i get to onitsha i will come pick her up and drop her back in the evening.
So when i got to onitsha i went straight to her house. And with the permission of parents , i went out with her (her parents knows me ).
We went to a nice hotel in onitsha where i booked a room #9,500 (lodging). We relaxed have some drinks and food. We talked about how our wedding will be. I wanted the wedding to hold around June this year , but she wanted it early. We had a nice time together as it has been months since we haven't seen.
After some hours together, she said she has to go as her parents would be expecting her. I told her i will drop her and from there head to my hometown. She asked me what about the room i paid for lodging... i told her that we would have to return the key as i cannot sleepover in the room all alone when i know i can still reach my hometown if i leave now. As a smart girl (which she feels she is), she told me that if the hotel workers finds out that I'm leaving,they would just put someone else in the room and pocket the money to themselves (in my mind then i was like that's their luck then).
As we were about to leave the room , i wanted to return the key, but she suggested i leave the key inside the room and just jam the door so they wouldn't know that we have left until the next day. I asked her why didnt she want the workers to make gain from it; she said the workers didn't attend to us well, that they were forming big girls. I did as she suggested, jammed the door and we left. I dropped her up in her street and left immediately for my hometown (that was around 6:00pm).
While on route to my hometown i met a heavy traffic jammed around nkpor junction. After an hour or so in traffic, i decided to go back to the hotel and spend the night , and continue my journey on the early morning of the next day, so as to bypass the traffic.
When i got to the hotel (around 8pm) , i walked straight to the room i earlier booked. But when i tried to open the door...i found out that it was locked. Angrily, i walked down to query the receptionist on why she should put someone else in the room when i never told her that I'm done with it.
But to my astonishment, she told me she didn't give the room out to anybody. She called one of the security guard to accompany us to the room to find out who the intruder is.
When we got the door, the receptionist knocked . A young boy on his underpants opened the door and asked what the matter was. The receiptionist asked to find out when and how he got the room. The young boy went in and brought out the receipt of payment bearing my name .
At that moment i sensed what could be up, so i pushed the door open and got in, nobody was in the room . i tried to open the bathroom, and noticed it was locked from the inside (In my mind i prayed to God let it not be what I'm thinking).
After several knock on the bathroom door, the person behind the door finally opened it. Behold it was my fiancee (ex-fiancee now). I was shocked .
I was so furious that i felt like giving her a sound slap. She was just crying and couldn't say a word (what would she say? She was caught in the act). I called her mother that night to inform her of what happen, she was shocked too. She said she call her on phone and told her she would be spending the night with me as we were setting plans for our upcoming wedding.
Some girls have fish brain, you met a guy who love you and even got engaged with you. But yet you still mess around with your street boys who couldn't afford to pay for a hotel room or even get his own apartment. This should be a lesson to you girls.
As i enter the new year , i enter with the watchword "trust no woman , fear every woman". In this new year , may we find our true love. Fake love will not be our portion. |

Can a brother (USC) above 50 years old, file for a sister (and her husband) above 40 years old?  BlowJobs: If you have a fiance/boyfriend/girlfriend that is a US citizen and it is looking promising and really serious, I think you both should look into the form I-130 (I-130, Petition for Alien Relative - USCIS)
He/ she can file a petition for you and when the petition is approved (usually takes between 2-5months), you can go to the US embassy or consulate close to you to get a K1 visa which allows you to come to the US and finish the other process of becoming a permanent resident here in the US.
it is a straightforward process.
anyone that is connected to the US through relationship to a USC can look into this. it is 2018 people!!! |

Nice one. I actually forgot to refer you to car owners forum to post the issue to. Good you did and got the prices, next is for you to go back online to search for those replacements ...might be cheaper than you thought. I still believe you need to buy the scanner itself and rescan your car your self. The issue reported might not be accurate judging from the inflated costs he gave you. lionlee216: Update -------------
You know I told you I went for a diagnostic scan on my car and the autoplace gave me this below
code p1273 and code p1444 and the workshop recommended the following to be changed
RR Valve Cover Gasket $35 02 sensor bank 1 sensor 1 $198.89 Bank 1 exhaust Manifold $349.89 Exhaust Gaskets to drop exhast pipe $45
He the charged me 1000$ for repairs making the whole price to be above $1600
So I posted my issue on a car forum and a specialist replied me. He said the following:
The 02 Sensor on RockAuto is $40.. That's a HELL of a mark up. Unless that is the cost to replace it too. And the Manifold is only $120, Again I am assuming those prices do NOT reflect installation. And the Valve cover Gasket is $5...
So either you buy all these parts and pay to get them installed or you do it yourself
Now compare the prices.

I agree with you but it takes time getting used to.

You cannot stick to C while living in countries that measure with F,though the weather conditions still remain same but you will ended up confusing yourself and confuse other people around you in the long run.there's much difference in the figures BTW F and C... |
Travel › Re: Getting A Green Card By Adjustment Of Status: My Yankee Experience by bigtt76(f): 12:12pm On Jan 07, 2018 |
Whether F or C ....the degree of hot or cold remains the same. Its all about the metric system the country decides to adopt. I hated F back in school for Physics. To convert from F to C, deduct 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9 (C = (F-32)*5/9) and from C to F multiply by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32 (F = (C*9/5) + 32  ...too much calculations shei? Stick to your C jaaaare. Happy Sunday. God is with you. BlowJobs: lol, i still don't understand the F that much. C is easier. 8degreesC tells me that is it cold but not bad. 0degreesC and below tells me that if is freaking cold and toes can go numb. That F might be 13degrees and when you go out, it is like batshit crazy!!! |
