Op discussion continues is honda Accord 06 and 07 only, evil spirit started from 08 to 13 I think, also camry muscle starts from 07 to 12 try to correct those.

Mercedez 911 popularly called molue was formed by students back then, in 1972 there was a riot and students were forced to take those buses then cause they had no choice, so one day the conductor was beating and harassing students and a military man was on mufti and watching so when they got to barrack bus-stop then at oshodi the army told the conductor to get down and student and the conductor was been beaten and he was begging and shouting (I didn't beat u, I didn't beat u in yoruba) meaning "mo lu ire" from there molue was coined among we students then. Those days were interesting.
Nice story on the etymology of the popular Molue wink
