You only make such mistakes if the car ain't yours or you are drunk. If the car is yours, you can mistakenly enter a similar car but immediately you sit in, you'll know you've made a mistake. Only a novice wouldn't notice and would still attempt to start the car.

There's an ongoing debacle that I'm currently in with another userid on here.

He stated that his brother not only opened the wrong but similar car but was actually trying to start the ignition before being accosted by the owner.

Now, I've owned quite a number of cars, well over 100, and have rented many and I have never ever tried to open the door of another car, let alone get inside that car and try to start it.

Personally, my cars are customized somewhat that they always stand out, but by the time I get inside the car I would have known. Smell, seat adjustment, placement of items, etc

So, have you done this before and if so what were the parameters to cause you to violate another man's ride in such a uncouth manner

It happened to me once also, I mistakingly opened another persons car having almost same color with mine , I even entered the car to start it, what brought me back to my senses was the size of it stirring which was bigger than mine, it was funny.

Its not about d money oga.
Some ppl are just 'restless/wanderers' once it come to cars.
The cars might not necessarily be expensive or very modern cars and it gets easier if u live in a place like America where cars are cheap and U don't have to battle with shipping fees or our prohibitive customs duties.

I work with Doctors who earn high six figures and they bicycle to work, no car by choice.

It's never about the money.

Oh and I own all my vehicles in my name before I eventually sell them to make room for others.

Bingo.

I can visualize opening the door.

Where I get confused is all the trying to start the engine stuff.

I have a bucket list that I go through.

I salute your style. These things are achievable, at least to serious autoists that do not squander money on olosho, alcohol, etc

Problem is,I could get a neat W202 Mercedes for at most 1.5k dollars,but when U factor in shipping which is at least another 1k and customs and co which are at least 350 or more,it turns to another thing.
Wanted to buy that 2010 volkswagen golf in early 2015,but when I asked 2 clearing agents d amount to clear it(not d one customs will be harrasing me on d road),they gave me a quotation hovering around 1.2m,I kukuma respect myself.
I'm just a minimum wage civil servant,U know.lol

thats not the problem. i call bullshytt for two reasons

1- nigerians in america are very serious minded. nigerians dont go to america to be car enthausiasts. unless OP was born in america and has never ever visited naija which i doubt cuz any nigerian who has never been in nigeria will not come to NL. nigerians in america who have been to naija save their money to buy house in naija or to buy house in america. they dont waste money changing car like pata

2- if you change cars that often it shows you are unstable and the insurance companies will kill you when it comes to time to pay your monthly insurance.

all in all ? a serious minded person cannot own 100 cars in america. this is what illiterate rednecks in the south do. its only illiterate low class white rednecks that buy a bunch of cheap cars. you dont even see serious minded whites doing this type of thing.

unless Egunmogaji is trying to tell us that he is a negro redneck lmao

The custom/import thing is why I bought a naija used 4Runner for my site use.

It is significant if duly and fully paid.

I don't know if Y'all think it's magic, I opened someone else car before,
A client came to our office for inverters and battery, so the man game me his car keys to drop the batteries in the boot,
I gat downstairs drop the batteries (4 of it) in the car,
Only for the man to go down and call that the batteries are not there,
Turn out I opened a wrong car with the keys,
We had to wait for the owner to come, the man don't believe it and asked me to open again,
Click, it opened , we all had a good laugh about it

I swear this was real, I really can't forget cos each battery is worth 135k

Lols, So you freely opened to put in the batteries, but couldn't open freely to take back what was yours. Waiting for permition from owner.

The law is a wonderful thing.

Why do u have to generalize? I'm not saying egunmogaji has owned over 100 cars or not, but hey, u can't just generalize, and I don't think he's the type that wants to impress anyone. If u visit cartalk section very well u will know what I'm saying. Claiming to have onwed over 100 cars doesn't mean he has 100 cars parked in his garage. Some people just love cars and it doesn't need to be newer model. many times he has posted on cartalk where he saw a classic abandoned car on a street and next day he already has the car towed to his garage for rebuild, and then later sell after revival, many times. Again, not here to say he's lying or telling the truth, but I don't see why this should be an issue.

This happened to me many years ago in lagos. Then I was driving Honda accord EOD. It was late in the evening when I parked my car, got out to get this very nice barbeque fish from my usual spot.

After buying the fish, I walked back to were I parked my car then I opened the drivers side using my car keys bcuz the remote was faulty at the time just to find out I was in the wrong car. Same colour,same model and all. Omo.....the way I jumped out of the car ehn!! cheesy

Funny enough my car was parked right Infront of the car I mistakenly got into bcuz my car keys was able to open it.

well i dont call that owning it. if you get a car to resell it, thats not owning. maybe he should have said I have SOLD over 100 cars. then we can let him slide on that technicality
