Been seeing this of late.

Couldn't get pics on many occasions, but just yesterday found this EOD with this exhaust ricing...

I'm keeping my eye out for one extremely riced up civic (I think), I saw some weeks back, had the whole ricing shebang including spoilers that were like 1 foot from the trunk angry
Looks ridiculous. Personally I don't like to design my car with after market artifacts like this. The ones I hate most are stickers and those that use after market head lamp attached to the bumper.

Oh! But yours you posted has no back door handle that was why I asked. How is the back door opened then? Pardon my inquisitiveness
That's the door handle. It's attached to the side glass. Infact the entire roof top all the way to the back is all glass. The Acura logo at the back is attached to glass. The car is an amazing work of engineering

Pls does the ZDX also comes with 4 doors or they are all 2 doors?
All ZDX are 4 doors. Basically all Acuras are 4 doors except the sport car they made (Acura NSX)

Acura ZDX is not uncommon, guess it has to do with your location . Is very common in Awka and Enugu town. Buy the red color of Acura ZDX saw one in Enugu, is so cute , was admiring it .
I don’t know much about it . I am more of 2007 Rdx and 2001 Mdx
It's definitely very uncommon bro. Only 7191 was ever produced. That's how uncommon it is.

For strong body glk
For interior glk
For good grand clearance go for glk


Don't compare Germany machine to Japanese machine
Interesting people that I've never used an Acura will definitely come in with nonsense talk. I have used both GLK and ACURA and I chose Acura over GLK any day! I'm pretty sure everyone that commented on this post also agreed with that. I mean those that actually know cars.
Strong body? GLK lol
Interior and good clearance. You're funny
ZDX beat GLK in all those things you compared!

Acura is a Japanese owned company but all Acura are made in America and Canada. Stop your nonsense talk

This is very clean
Thanks for the heads up
I was looking at white on black rims
Every colour looks great on that car except the blue. And it was never made in blue but I've seen some painted to blue.
The black is actually the cutest. I was hoping to buy the black but couldn't find any that is good enough for me.

getting zdx?
is it a good idea?
Trust me, it's a wonderful idea.
I attached the picture of my ZDX below. The car is giving me so much joy since 3 months that I bought it now. I've not visited my mechanic since then (except for issues with my other cars)
But after using this car for some months, I have a few advice for you.
1. Be ready for a lot of attention from friends and enemies. The car is so unique that people will notice you everywhere and they will keep saying they've not seen it before.
2. Have another small car that runs your dailies, that car won't suit well as a car that can be used to run domestic errands like quick fuel purchase or buy Suya at Junction lol
3. You should consider upgrading your car stereo to the more recent one. Acura has a branch company called Navtool, they sell the engine and will guide you on how to install it easily.
4. Have money for area boys, they won't stop chasing you and shouting baba oo grin
5. This is probably the most Important advice. If you're buying your zdx in Lagos, be very careful. I went to almost all the auto dealers at Lekki and Apapa and they don't have it and the few that have it are accidented. I had to spend almost $100 on checking vehicles history just to make sure I don't buy an accident car. Finally found this one. Its perfect but it was not cheap. But I didn't care, just want the best.

Car Talk / How Do I Overcome The Fear Of Riding A Bike by Kelvin30286063(m): 3:47am On Aug 11, 2022
I've always had problems with riding a bike, back when I was in the university, I tried to learn how to ride but I fell a few times so I decided that maybe it's just not for me.
Years later, I feel I'm a lot more mature and experienced in handling automobiles now so maybe I'll give it another try. So I recently contact Gazzuzz and asked him to get me a powerbike. Don't say it. I know you all want to say that why start with a powerbike grin but I have always wanted to own a powerbike, infact, it's right there at the top of my list of things I want to achieve before leaving this world.
Gazzuzz was kind enough to deliver the bike to me the next day and that's how my journey to learning how to ride a bike began again.
My thought was if I have my own bike, learning won't be difficult but ladies and gentlemen, it's been 3 weeks since I got this powerbike, I still don't know how to ride. Except for field circling, I can't even get on the road.
I don't know if it's fear of falling or the fear of crashing into a vehicle or the fear of the silencer (exhaust) burning my skin if the bike falls on my leg.
I just can't get myself to do it. At this point, I'm thinking maybe I may never know how to ride a bike in this life.
Meanwhile, I can drive a manual car from here to Ghana! Infact, my first two cars earlier in life were manuals and I have automatic cars now too so drive a car is not an issue for me.
Guys, what do I need to do, I want to be able to pick up this powerbike, kit up like Gazzuzz and ride it interstate!

Honda is not a good car. The tyres can pull off while you're on the road.
That should help reset your brain. That's the Toyota that's good.
Someone already answered you. Don't maintain that your Rolls-Royce and see if the leg won't pull on the road and embarrass you.

Funny how a lot of people just keep spewing nonsense even with the availability of internet research at their finger tips.. They are very quick to type shit but small research dey hard them..

I shudder to think that these same ill-educated idiots will likely be on an expressway, and might not only end up killing their worthless selves but also other innocent people.. Onto say Modern SUV get same speed balance as low-profile sedans cheesy

Imagine trying to compare balance of speed of SUVs with low gravity vehicles like the ES350 and C300.. Dem say na "Modern SUV" grin.. Na wa o
So you think that you educated us that SUVs are not safe cos they have a 14 to 23 percent chance of a rollover. Bro, you're still living in 2002. Since you're talking about education, you should also Google Stability Control and Super Handling - All Wheel Drive in cars from 2010 to 2022.
My Acura ZDX has SH-AWD and I can literally see my tire pressure percentage go down on one side when I'm taking corners.

Stop living in 1995 and embrace modern technologies and stop buying old cars too. Your 2003 corolla with low ground clearance will lose control and run into the bush if it takes tight corner at top speed cos it has zero handling assistance. Yet a 2015 MDX with Super Handling - All Wheel Drive will take the same corner and go smooth.

All in all, no matter what you drive, speed still kills so I'll drop this topic here.

There is a reason why most SUVs still have roll-over warning stickers somewhere in their interiors..

Happy flying with your SUV Sir grin
Oh so that's what your conclusion is based on. Interesting. So tell me, why does all cars have airbag safety warnings and children safety warnings. Does that mean the airbags will just deploy on their own? Lol
You mean you don't know about vehicle safety regulations that insist that all vehicles must meet certain conditions before they can be allowed on roads?
Let me give you fact today, apart from monster trucks, SUVs don't roll over on corners or turns except if something is seriously wrong with the suspensions or wheels. Especially wheel balancing and alignments.

You obviously still drive an old car cos if you know the SMOOTHNESS modern SUVs take corners this days, you won't even mention that. Go and buy a good car bro.

It is also important to consider lower ground clearance for vehicle balance on speed while outrunning Bandits, ISWAP, armed robbers, etc and also roll-overs that SUVs are generally prone to because of their high center of gravity...

Not everyone wishes to have their hearts in their mouth when doing a mere140km/hr..

Op didn't tell you he wants to use the vehicle for mining operations, or as an excavator..and he didn't tell you he is blind that he won't slow down when navigating bad portions of road.

Allow him use his money to buy what he wishes..People who have been driving the car he mentioned for years haven't died.
So you think suvs don't have good balance when speeding. Lol
Funny guy... Bring your slow clearance car and let's race with my suv. You'll understand what ground clearance actually means.
Who the hell told you modern SUVs are prone to rollovers! You saw that on YouTube too? grin
Anyway, ask any experienced car owner here and they will tell you the same thing, they prefer suvs.
MDX is not a catapiller by the way, and if he knows it all, he won't ask for our opinion so at the end of the day, it's not about buying what he wants with his money. It's about giving him a good advice so he doesn't regret spending his money on what he won't enjoy.

FYI, I was once like you. I loved low clearance cars so much that I still keep my Acura TL at home even though I now have a ZDX and a sienna but at the end, I'll always drive either my ZDX or my Sienna cos I don't have to gnash my teeth whenever I hit a speed bump or drive in a really rough road. Plus I don't have to spend too much on suspensions too.

You see this thing call greed is a bastard.
Imagine hustling with your banny and she insist on keeping some proceedings just to flaunt. Damilola have his mind set in Japa while she want to be a notice ME every corner. Bitcoin wey the stranger use pay was that account no dey work for Nigeria or that 700$ was too big to carry from bank?
She got served and their is absolutely nothing she can do to reclaim that car. You think say to buy Benz for your name inthe receipt will suffice. How did you make 29m and how was it just a stranger that you willingly give your Benz keys to charge phone. So in your office where he came to work no charging point?
Madam you are dealing with psychologists and tend to thread carefully.
Pot calling kettle black
I think there's more to the story cos it's not just about what she said that she only met him a few days but as for what you said that how did she manage to afford a 29 million benz. I know real estate agents in Lagos that make millions from flipping just one house. It's very possible that she can afford it. I'm very close with some real estate people and they make cool money. Especially whenever yahoo boys are making money, these yahoo boys buy houses at overpriced as long as you agree not to put their names on the receipt.
But all that said, it still doesn't take away the fact that she was stupid. I think the boy is her boyfriend. She is just not saying everything.

You picked two very good cars. I would have asked you to go for the mdx cos being a long time Acura user, it's very reliable to the best of my knowledge but since you also mentioned availability of parts and I'm sure you want affordability too, I won't recommend Acura.
The parts are fairly available but always very expensive so the best answer to your question is Lexus. If you want lexus, why not an RX instead of a ES.
You can get a good RX 350 for that price.
Trust me, it's important to consider ground clearance when choosing a car in Nigeria.

That fix may take no more than 30k for a shoddily quick job. But for a quality impeccable job which won’t leave any hints of work done, it may be exceed 45k.
You're right but that still depends on who. A roadside Painter can spray it for 5k but every body will see how terrible the job is. grin while a good auto painting shop may do it for 50k. Quality is the difference basically.
