Car Talk / Re: How Did You Choose Your First Car? by Kelvin30286063(m): 3:52pm On Jul 08, 2023
Love and interest. First car was a "make I just buy one" purchase tho. But subsequent cars were well thought out. I knew what I wanted and I went for it. My current car was my dream car for 3 years.

So the $460,000 forfeited by Tinubu is for what if not drug?
The law will confuse you my brother. If he was never charged or sentenced and the case is not pending. There is no case. That's the law and it's that simple.

Same here. Infact the man don call me twice since January say he wan greet me. Werey man no call me, I no need your greeting. The check light on my dashboard says Check Tire pressure (TMPS) even after I gauge all tires, possibly a bad sensor Idk. Acura is vastly overlooked, in-fact most Honda cars are.
Yes bro, it's the TPMS sensor. It's very notorious for going bad if not properly handled when fixing tires. And you know how annoying our vulcanizers are in Nigeria. I once had that TPMS sensor issue too, I had to buy a direct replacement at Amazon and took the car to a good autoshop to fix it. If you buy direct replacement, you won't need to program it for it to work but if you buy all those universal once. They will need to program it before it can work for your ACURA. I hope this helps. Nice to meet you my Acura brother. One day, others will understand what we enjoy and why we won't avoid a car just because the parts are expensive.

Car Talk / Re: How Good Is The Acura ZDX by Kelvin30286063(m): 10:47am On Jun 24, 2023
Londonferry:
Wow! That's a good machine you got there bro. I just kinda really love the ride.
Like how much can one likely see a good toks of it even if I'm lucky enough to see one to buy?
This one is 2012 tech option and it cost me 11.5m when I bought it in 2021. From 2021 till today, I have not had any cause to fix anything. Infact, not even check engine light since then.
It's important you go and inspect with a mechanic and make sure you check the vin number for accident cos almost all the major auto dealers around Lekki-Epe area that has this car only have accidented ones. I went to all of them when I was search for mine and it's the same story. They tell you it's a good ride but once you check the vin online, you'll realize it's an accident car.
If you see a good Nigeria used, it should be around 6-7m

I don't see this model much on the road again. How good is it compared to the MDX model?
You can't find it very often cos Acura only made 7191 of that sweet ride and I'm one of the lucky owners of a very good one. This baby is the joy of midrange coupe SUVs.
As for the parts, yes maybe but don't buy as your daily ride, if you need a daily ride, go for something cheaper.

Car Talk / Re: Acura ZDX Or Benz GLK by Kelvin30286063(m): 12:06pm On Jun 23, 2023
Badb0y4lyf:
I drive a GLk but I still turn my head to look at a ZDX pass me by. While I feel no remorse or regret for Getting a GLK it would be a tough decision for me to choose between either.
that said the only thing that will win me over to the GLK would be Benz stability and drive handling no Japanese or Chinese car has been able to replicate every other thing luxury, aesthetics I give it to the ZDX
From a ZDX owner, who once drove a GLK, trust me there's little difference between the handling. My ZDX handles very great, I won't say more than the last GLK I drove but it's right there. The only downside I have with my ZDX is the fact that it feels heavy for a coupe. When you're driving that car, you will actually think you're driving one of these big SUVs. That leave you tired after a long trip. Meanwhile, GLK feels lighter so you can drive for hours and hours and not feel tired.

Short story:

My two babies sitting pretty...

I love the way my C350 revs and speeds when I push her to the limit! Omo benz is benz o forget!!..The ML350 2013 i use for church or occasions cos of its prestige...but it's really not as fast as the C class.

Sometimes im late for work and drive like a getaway driver and just arrive on time! I know the ML 350 is more expensive but the C Class is more sportier and manuverable! The C class reminds me of when I had my G35x 2007 in 2017..I loved that car for its High rev and loud exhaust notes but she's inferior abeg and unreliable! I always had to replace gear...Infact me and ladipo boys were pally grin... until I sold her at a give away price!

I'm looking at upgrading the ML350 tho to the GLE350 spec b4 September to give her a new look. They say it's 3m for the upgrade. No wahala!

Mercedes is really the ultimate driving machine! I see why G boys hustle day and nite to drive it and some even use thier GF or mum tongue so sad but I really understand. Sapa no good!

Also girls just flock around me like flies when I'm driving both cars like wtf...PH girls no dey take eye see benz..they just blowing up my phone with messages. undecided and billings too lol. angry

I'm looking at also upgrading to the C400 2017 soon beacuse she is newer with a new shape but it would be difficult to say good bye to the my good old C350 2013 embarassed

Guys I have driven Corolla, Camry muscle, Infiniti G35x, Range rover sport 2008 non of them has given me peace of mind and performance like the Mercedes.

The only disadvantage is that I get stopped alot by the police in the C350 like they think I'm one of the Yahoo or Elon musk boys grin before I then flash my Government work ID den I get freed grin cheesy Boyz Don too cast the car but whenever i drive my ML350 then don't check papers they just twale! and say anything for the boys sir!!! grin...then I tip then if I have change!

As per fuel cost..its really not a problem. I filled both cars with 85k fuel..The C Class consumes more cos of the way I march it..but never the less its ok in consumption..Fuelling should be the least on ur mind if u wana enjoy performance and desire to own a benz. On maintenance iv not replaced any part on both cars..Just service with mobile 1 every 6months and change tires when necessary.

The end!!



All I see in this post is pride pride everywhere but okay. Some of us have two or three cars but we don't brag like this. Me wey dey here, I get 3 cars and 1 powerbike. All totalled 28m but I never mention am before. Gazzuzz is my witness cos he has serviced my cars once or twice. All I'm saying is, relax, where you think you are is not where you're actually going. Plus, do you need this unnecessary publicity? Imagine if Nairaland mod push this post to front page and dem instablog and co pick it up cos na copy and paste all of dem dey do. Then you'll suddenly find yourself on the spotlight and unwanted people will start investigating you secretly.
Celebrate your success in secret. Only celebrate life in public cos that's the only thing you came to this world with and you won't even leave this world with that life. Peace brother.

Family / Re: I Stood Up To My Father by Kelvin30286063(m): 2:09pm On Jun 16, 2023
DamianDd:
My dad is a really good guy, I love him so much and he's gentle most times. Though he gets angry sometimes but he's reasonable about everything he does.

I came home 11:30 which is very late and I knew that and I even hated it too that I came home this late so I was trying to avoid him even when he asked to come to his room because I had a gut feeling that things won't gi right.

But I ended up going to get my charger that was with him, then for the first 5 minutes in he was making sense about why I came home late and I was agreeing to it that it's true

Then all of a sudden he starts saying "what will people think?" "Neighbors are watching" "they'll start saying god forbid, like father like son" "I nor fit let my pikin be like this boy" "which kind family be this, see when their son dey come house?" "People are watching, people are judging" and even more words and it started getting annoying to me, then he said they will say "see when this small pikin dey come house"

It was at that moment that I shut it down, I've never been that way to him but it was so infuriating, I told him I'm not a child I'm 18 which is legal age, I work for my money, I make 50k to 300k a month on my own; no neighbors give me food when I'm hungry, the landlord doesn't clean my eyes when they hurt from viewing my phone too much so I don't give a Bleep what they think of me. I told him to not put all those orientations in my head because it affected me alot when I was younger and it made me timid and shy and scared of being myself or having different opinions and that's what I'm trying to fix in myself and my mindset now.

What I do feel bad about is last year I paid for the house rent and packing when I had alot of money, I brought it up when I was talking to him and said "I paid for this house with my own money so who is landlord or the neighbors for me to be sacred to come in and out of my own home, I know what I did is wrong and I'm sorry but don't put those bad thoughts in my head" I shouldn't have said that though by bringing up what I did for family. He only called me back and said "don't worry I won't talk to you anymore until I use my own money to pay for the house next time" I didn't say anything because i know I was wrong and nothing good would come out of talking back, I just left his room.



What's your thoughts on the matter?

Wow, thank God I'm not your dad. I understand the fact that you're seeing money now and you feel you are in charge. I remember when I made my first million, I didn't pick my parent's call at first ring anymore. But at the end of the day, I came to realize that no matter how rich I become, or whatever I do for them, it can't amount to what they did for me cos if they abandoned me when I was young and vulnerable, I won't be anywhere close to where I am now. Hope you learn something from this. You're 18 and you're talking like you're an adult. Dude I'm 35 and I still can't look my dad in the face even though I'm like 10 times richer than him now.

Kobicove:


Do those watches give accurate figures?
I'll say 100% accurate cos I have tested the result. There was a time my daughter was running temperature so we were looking for her thermometer. That one they put under the arm. We couldn't find it so I put my watch on her wrist and pressed it on her wrist. It read her temperature. I wasn't sure cos it was the first time I would use it on someone else that is not me so we still looked for the thermometer anyway. When we found it, it read the exact same temperature the watch gave us. That's how I know it's 100% accurate. But you never can tell. If you're going to use it for health related monitor, it's advisable you go for medically recommended instruments.

Does the Apple watch series three have the capability to check BP?
I don't know about apple watch but I use a Samsubg phone and the galaxy watch pro 5 has the ability to check BP. Infact it's very good for me cos I'm a biker and whenever my blood pressure is rising too much while I'm riding, it alerts me with a vibration and a warning message.
I think it should.
Health / Re: When Last Did You Check Your Blood Pressure? by Kelvin30286063(m): 5:21pm On Jun 13, 2023
Everyday. Buy a smart watch for either Samsung or iPhone and you won't need to go to a doctor to check your blood pressure.

Same here. I have a guy that has 5 different collections of my favorite dream bikes. I have a 250r and I have never beaten him in a race. Even when he's riding his lowest cc which is a Taro 400r. He is probably the only one with a 2018 Ninja H2 in the whole of Ondo state.

With this price I really can't afford to drive a car with about 5k per day, I give up!!! I can only drive cars with engine size between 0.6 to 1 litre, they are very few ,small and not as comfortable as the normal 1.8 to 2.5 litre engi
Now you know why most average westerners drive small and old cars. Especially in the UK and US. Good thing we are getting answer to that age long question of why most people don't buy big cars in Europe and America.

A friend of mine who is in the Naval recently got married. He went back to base the next Monday. He has not seen his wife since then. It's been over 3 months now. His wife stays at his mother's place. Quite a weird arrangement.

Car Talk / Re: Warning ⚠️ Sign On Dash Board by Kelvin30286063(m): 5:17pm On May 05, 2023
The one of the left with an exclamation mark ❗is your tire pressure warning. One or more of your tires is far below the recommended psi. Check your tires for leakage.
The one on the right with a car and zig-zag road is called Electronic Stability Control warning. It comes up mostly on raining days. ESC warning is difficult to diagnose so I'll advice you leave it if you don't have a good rewire.
The one on the far right is Check engine warning. A lot of things can trigger that. Scan the car and solve the problem one by one if you want a light free dashboard

Focus in yourself bro. The only way you can win your wife is if you win in life. My wife respects me a lot today cos I provide for her and our daughter. If I can't, she won't respect me. No woman respects a man that can't provide so just find out if she's okay and the child is okay, once you know that, just stay focused, learn your skill, establish yourself and once things settle down, go and give her mother an expensive gift, na she go call you herself.
