So, she begged him to do what? 🤷‍♂️
To carry her for free or for what price?
That part isn't clear.

Biodun1929:
Thanks a lot. I noted all you said and I'll act on them.

Also, does your car have thermostat?
Cos If your fan is working directly (without thermostat), it could also be part of the excessive fuel consumption.
All the best, bro.

Much respect, sir.

Kingdolla:
Abeg una wey dey use CNG here what's the pros and cons.

What encourages people:
you save a lot of money against petrol (this is the main selling point of CNG).

What might discourage you:
a) It will alter the smooth performance of your engine and you will notice it while driving.
b) The installation will have them tamper with the factory setting of your engine in the sense that, they would have to create a CNG nozzle for gas supplies to your engine. 4 CNG nozzles for 4 plugs car. 6 CNG nozzles for V6 vehicles, so that you can easily switch from fuel to CNG. To me, this is putting alot of work on the engine and might want to get tired out faster. Though, you will definitely gain from installing it before any gbege go likely happen.
c) limited number of CNG stations and locations.

When I first saw a CNG kitted car physically at my mechanic's place, what me I observed won't even make me think of converting even if na free of charge. The engine bay that houses the CNG supply lines is very discouraging. A lot of bypassing and connections, and all put on the engine.
Nahhhh, I wouldn't wanna do that.
However, I've seen many vehicles with the CNG. Looks like it's growing sha.


Much respect, boss.

Thanks for this info. Do you have an idea how much the 4 windows is likely to cost?

Including the rear windshield, that time, I gave the guy 10k.
I don't know the current price, but should be lesser than 15k.


Much respect, sir.

sunnymighty:
My Car dis not come with one, but I am considering fitting it on my glasses. I hopenthe police will not start their wahala considering the fact that it is not factory fitted.

Make the brother carry on.
I did mine since last year and I never for once had issues with police/FRSC/VIO, apart from "wind down make we see inside".
I've only had one rider (last year) who refused to enter after I was delayed for almost 15mins.
I just smh for her.


Much respect, boss.

@Omoapena and Glithronix
I contacted someone ( A dealer) and he quoted the following prices for a pair of rear shock absorber for Toyota Camry Big Daddy.

Toyota OEM - 250k
Japan - 180k
China - 60k.

Only one rear absorber is faulty, but I have decided to change both absorber to China made.

Omoh, these things are expensive now sha (inside life).
@the bold, better. You fit even tell ur kazeem to help you raise dem small.

Much respect, sir.

Happy Easter celebration to all dem Christian folks.

ReadaDream:
Nothing to worry about bro..there's a guy on NL here; unikazzy, that does it....If you renew here in Lagos, you have successfully given Lagos your vechicle data which means the camera can now run your plates..

Even here in Lagos, I have renewed my Lagos documents and I didn't collect the original copies, I just print out the scanned copies and I'm good to go...the man kept reminding me to come for it...car wey I don sell since

Ooh, that's a good one.
@the bold - inside life.


Much respect, sir.

Obedibombedi:
Thank you for pointing out the mix up.
Night-shift messing with my head
Perhaps you are the 0.1℅ category

You joined the hustle and immediately turned yourself into a night crawler.
This hustle, once you master what works for you, the hustle go just be like say you dey drink chilled smoothie.
While you're making your money conveniently, some go say the hustle don cast.
Then you go be like, is it this same hustle I'm doing abi another one?
Carry on jare. 💪

Much respect, boss.

sunnymighty:
Bro. Abeg you have an.idea of the country cost of Tokunbo shock absorber. I don't want to refill again.

I have no idea of the toks.
Why not just get new ones nah?
I changed all my four absorbers mid last year, all cost 78k (new) + 6k for my mechanic to help add 1inch on all to raise dem up small.
I can't remember how much for each of them, but they totalled 78k sha (all the four).


Much respect, boss.

Pearl1910:
Really there is no offense except they know u are doing ehailing with it. In which case, it is hackney permit they will require of u.
The bottleneck has always been from d ehailing coys. But if they no longer request for Lagos roadworthiness certificate to register and drive in Lagos then to hell with Lagos State plate number.
Just look for someone living in one of the remote states, they will register and send all ur documents via waybill, same thing for yearly renewal. U don't need to travel anywhere.

NB: I learnt Abuja also does vehicle inspection like Lagos before Roadworthiness certificate is issued.

Ooh, that's good then.
The brother that asked about this originally should see this.
Make dem RS & VIO no go run am street.
@the bold, I don't think this is totally best to do.
Before you send money to someone to do it for you over there and have it waybill to you, you have done your stuff here and dusted.
The link you have over there fit mess you up.
Make subsequent renewal should just be done here to avoid stories.
Make him just dey run him things here by himself.


Much respect, sir.

Kaymaxi2222:
I don't think vio or FRSC can hold him for anything, are you saying If my plate is registered elsewhere I can't drive in Lagos cos there is no way they can know how long I have been in Lagos or I just came in to do something in Lagos

They can be funny at times.
Well, subsequent renewals would be done in Lagos sha.
Person sha no fit head to the other state because him wan renew him RW.

Much respect, sir.

ReadaDream:
What will my offense be?.

Those people can be funny at times.
Make dem no go feed on the brother on top irrelevant demand on the state Road worthiness ni.
Especially the VIO.

Much respect, sir.

dreezy007:
Thanks for your kind response and advice @obedibombedi

@Dav1002 thank you aswell I appreciate your response.

Please do you have a specific car brand I can look at and for what price bracket, as of Corolla it’s also way over 5m the best one I saw that passed inspection was at 5.5m

Dem say Honda Civic 03 - 07 is the best alternative to Corolla and cheaper.
4m max should get you a perfect civic, I think.


Much respect, boss.

ReadaDream:
No...

FRSC and VIO looking at you right now.

Barbiturate:
Prices are too cheap....even on Monday(both Indrive and bolt)

Prices look like we are still in the subsidy era.
These e-hailing companies need to stop tossing drivers around like a basketball.
They know the right prices to fix but the competition on ground won't let them bring about implementation.
Na drivers dey always suffer am (inside life).
Abi dem tell dem say subsidy has returned?
It is well.


Much respect, boss.

IFSHR:

Also know when to use full-stops and comma. After that your gbagaun sticked to, a full stop should follow and not a comma. Same issue after you still owe me MF.
I come in peace.

E come be like say na come in opposite.

Barbiturate:
Heard cars were not allowed to enter or go out of banana due to the protest against the demolition of their club. So it caused serious traffic on Alexander to link bridge and other surrounding areas

Lagos and wahala everyday.
I just say make I check how road be on Gmap, na so I see red for there.
It is well.


Much respect, boss.

Wetin dey happen for island this morning again?
Why everywhere red like pepper?

Omoapena:
in essence, you're actually making money but your bad car is the one taking most of it, someone using a very sound car won't experience what you're experiencing.

The car might even be in perfect condition, but the question should be: when was the last time he spent such amount on maintenance, and was it on the same issue?
You know say some people go dey cash out steadily and when the tool they use come ask for small maintenance, complain go burst out and dem go start to dey condemn the hustle.
Like say the tool suppose work till the end of time without requiring any anything at all. 😁😁😁


Much respect, baba.

Barbiturate:
They will come for you!
Let me guess the line......"he's not using the right tool"

I have spent over 200k in a month fixing my car. If it's not engine, it's cranshaft or cranshaft sensor. Just changed tyres this afternoon. Got a trip on bolt to ajah for 16k. Another from Ajah to Anthony village 17500. I don dey happy say the day is going well until tyre kpafuka. 50k don go for tyre and alignment.

Don't get it twisted....people are making millions in this same hustle 😊

@the bold, would you spend this same amount next month?
Nobody go come for anybody on top say person talk about wetin everybody dey face in the hustle that is normal.
Na when someone come and condemn the hustle wahala dey gas, which I no dey get myself involved, anyways.
Na encouragement that brother needs, no discouragement.
Cos no matter what one expended in a month, you go make your money back in multiple folds in that month.
God no go shame us.

Much respect, boss.

Sure, maintenance is the soul of the hustle, but all those things you fixed, no matter the amount, you won't do them every week.

Maybe in the next 8 - 10 months, you won't touch those things you just fixed.

Now, tell us, would you make your money back in multiple folds or not?

It's a business like every other out there, there is always cost of maintenance.

Move on, boss.

Djdamian:
But why should this be the case?

Why should an owner cry for entrusting a vehicle to someone to make a living for himself and in return pay a certain commission to the owner? Are you implying that all drivers are wired mentally to cause pain to owners?

@the bold - no, sir.
That's why I didn't generalize by using 'SOME'.
Some people don't know how to pamper and take care of a car.
If you see the way they use cars ehn, and when it starts demanding for huge cost of maintenance, na there wahala go start.
Owner would be forced to drop huge money due to agreement while the driver balanced it up, whereas, drivers dey make x3 of the remittance.
As time goes on, owner go dey vex say maintenance dey collect all his money while him driver dey ball - but agreement is agreement nah - 50/50, 60/40 - 40/60? .
The worst of it all na drivers wey no sabi save - that one go ruin the car, the owner and himself and end in premium crying.

When I was doing rental, the only major thing my oga did on the car was buying me a new DC radiator (30k+ plus fixing), when the one inside got weakened, I took the whole of maintenance upon myself.
Na me dey take care of everything till I bought the car from the person.

Now, the question is, how many drivers can take 80% of maintenance on rental agreement knowing fully well that he's saving x2 or x3 of his remittance?

They would rather make owners purge the money out until he gets frustrated.

Mind you, na the driver dey abuse the car.

But some who get fear of God go give their owner peace of mind.

Some, not all.



Much respect, sir.
