Let's see how well you know your classics too.
Which vehicle is this?
Any note on its history?
That looks like a Mercedes.

Are there any Nigerian cars?
Yes, Innoson. grin
When you mention classics to a Nigerian, he only knows Europe & Asia, perhaps the Ford line. Rarely would you see someone conversant with the GM lineup.

Are you sure this is Toyota's handwork? Those wheel arches will make contact with the tires on some really bouncy roads. How does the rear passenger door open?

Car TalkRe: 550 Hp For A V6 Engine by DaimlerBen(m): 4:00am On Jun 22, 2015
rainmaker12:
If Acura can maximise performance and strain 550+ hp from a mere v6 engine, what will happen when they eventually hit a v8 or v10 engine? Germans successfully created a v12 aston martin engine with 560 hp and clapped their hands.
The acura nsx will not only b fast with the 800ft torque, but more efficient.
Dodge viper has a big headed piston chamber with a crazy guzzling gasoline volume of 8.7litres v10 engine and just 600hp.

My take, Japanese Cars are still the best!!
Imagine a honda accord with a v8 engine
Toyota camry rocking a 7 speed v10 engine
Toyota venza with a twin turbo charged engine
Honda civic with a dual clutch manual-automatic transmission.
Only will tell.
I read that Mercedes supplies them only V8's, so I don't know about your German V12 statement.
And please, don't use American cars as reference for anything (except maybe Ford).

What if the manufacturers aren't ready to give it the reliability it should have without the owner spending extra, as was the case in times past?
In times past? What of the 600 Grosser?

I can't say for the S-class because I have not seen anybody asking for the tokunbo or even selling a tokunbo S-class.

but the toyota is always more expensive in tokunbo price to the Germans depending on year of manufacture. even though the Germans have more bells and whistles than the jap vehicles.

that not withstanding the Germans have high-tech gadgets and more electronically controlled parts which are too cumbersome for our mechanics and sometimes when they fail out right replacement of the whole component is needed instead of a part.

a German vehicle could also be as reliable as the japs if the owner is willing to give it that extra care and top notch spending.
Nigerians aren't the only ones with a lackadaisical approach to car maintenance & repairs. Even abroad, when they buy a new luxury car, enjoy all the toys included, and they eventually fail, they take it to an unauthorised mech (we aren't the only ones with kazeems) because the official ones charge outrageous prices. That's why a well-maintained in-mint-condition all-toys-intact highly-sought-after classic luxury car goes for the same price as a brand new one.

HealthStraining On The Toilet Could Kill You! by DaimlerBen(op): 2:48pm On Jun 10, 2015
https://s.hswstatic.com/gif/straining-toilet-kill-you-1.jpg
Death by Toilet! It sounds like the title of a poorly funded sci-fi flick, but for many, a simple bowel movement can cause a lot of anxiety.
Although it's rare, severe straining on the toilet can be deadly in a number of ways for people who are chronically constipated, who have recently had heart surgery or who suffer from a number of other maladies. It can cause an increase of blood pressure in the brain, which can lead to a stroke or a ruptured aneurysm. An aneurysm occurs when a blood vessel has a weakened wall, which can then rupture with increased pressure.
For some people, a bowel movement means straining and holding their breath, a move known as a Valsalva Maneuver. This can cause an irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia. This combination can activate a nerve in your chest that signals the brain to change your heart rate and drastically lower your blood pressure. This puts your body in panic mode, creating a rapid rise in blood pressure and an irregular heartbeat.
A combination of holding your breath, straining and experiencing abdominal pain - all occurrences common to constipation - can also stimulate the vagus nerve, which connects the brain and the colon.
The vagus nerve reflex causes a sharp drop in blood pressure and a sudden slowing of heart rate. It could lead to fainting (vasovagal syncope) as blood flow leaves the head and moves rapidly to the legs. And fainting on the toilet could mean a head injury.
To ease both the fear and the physical symptoms of constipation, try pooping in a squatting position, with the knees raised to the chest. This can be awkward on a conventional toilet, so putting a footstool in the bathroom can help. In addition, take a closer look at your diet. Drink plenty of water and increase your fiber content.
Taking magnesium and calcium can help, and be sure to get daily exercise. Even a moderate walk can invigorate your core muscles and encourage your intestines to move your waste along.

9: Mercedes Benz 600 Grosser

When people talk about how comfortable a Mercedes can be, this is the car they are referring to. The car is an icon of what
Mercedes is and was. However, they are not without their issues. For example, the hydraulic window switches are $11,500.00
to replace when they break. Additionally, just about everything in the car is hydraulic, and equally expensive.
Check out Jeremy's bill of service.

Science/TechnologySection Suggestion! by DaimlerBen(op): 11:58pm On May 15, 2015
I would like to make a suggestion regarding this section. I think that things pertaining to the natural world should have their own section.
Topics like THIS really feel off in a section of programmers & webmasters.
I would suggest that it be named "Science" as an entity of it's own.
Thanks.
