you know nothing about GSD obviously
seyi200:
What is mix in this one now, people that doesn't know anything will just be forming pro online mix kor dilute Ni... That's a pure gsd pup bro.
okay. Except owning three pure and one mixed throughout my lifetime. It's like I said though, if they have embarq tests or some similar dna that would be the simplest thing to do. One of mine looked pure till we got the test. That's what started my curiosity about nuances in different dogs.

Dog's cute and will get a home either way and frankly, personally, I don't care if a dog is pure or not as long as it's disclosed to me.

Its a pure gsd puppy,and not mixed.The puppy will grow to be a medium coat and will look good if well fed.
fur density is wrong for a gsd puppy but okay. Do they have embarq tests in Naija or something similar? I'll put money on it if they do.

That being said, it's adorable and if I didn't have one already I'd probably take it.

My two fluff balls. GSD and sibe.

I drove my car for 4yrs without changing anything apart from (oil, gas and tyres when expired.) it was direct Toks from U.S and from 1st owner.

But the first & second month in Ehailing
I changed compressor and condenser
Then other months shocks , leakages, sockets box and likes.
It’s like some spirit dey follow riders enter your car or na wetin dey happen.

You can drive your car without fixing anything but in dis hustle I don’t know.
this repairs were due after four years anyway. The ac ones were most likely caused by nigerian gas.

Good morning Pet landers. My friend has this pup for sale. I'm about to advertise on his behalf but I want to be sure on the breed and coat and every other information you can help me with due to numerous years of experiences on the field. Every contributions would be highly appreciated.

He doesn't have the mating pictures and I'd be getting the pictures of the mother soon as he's at work and not home to send now. Thanks in advance.

He's also selling at 60k for those interested in buying
he's mixed. His fur texture. Must likely one of our local dogs

Good evening. How much can i get shock absorber (front) for a 2007 Acura MDX.
Hello,

In the picture for the front shocks, the first option is the complete assembly that includes the shock, coil and mount. The second option is just the shock absorber itself. The first option is a better deal but is in stock in Florida. The second is in Lagos.

In picture 2, that is for the rear.

Prices are per shock absorber and they come with 2 year warranties. We use the abokifx rate of the day.

For future reference, you can look up any part price/availability you want and not have to wait at weblink.carquest.com

Yes, just remembered a question that skipped my mind yesterday I hope its not to late to also ask...

Is it the same American spec Canada uses as well? Or which region in America does this American spec meant for since we have the North and South America.

And how true is the myth with Canada AC cars, many local Nigeria men believe the AC system in cars from Canada doesn't cool as those from the USA. How true is this.

@ Dmechy you input Sir.
Should be

North America

See below for three

Toyota Camry 2007 drags when on speed

A Camry 2007 was brought in with a complain of dragging when in top speed. After driving a bit with the car it was as if the engine was working under alot of pressure, unable to breathe fine.

The car owner ran a scan and came up with some codes; P0128 and P0420. The P0128 was for coolant thermostat Malfunction.

P0420 was for Catalyst Converter below threshold. On further diagnosis we discovered the catalyst Converter was never in the car just an empty exhaust. Removing the whole exhaust reveals more damage done by probably a mechanic previously. The other hollow after the Post-CAT was filled wires (picture below).

After fixing the catalyst and removing the wires also servicing the transmission. The vehicle was back to full performance.
replaced or removed all together?

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!

Like you're a genious menh you really did justice to this an broadened my scope of understanding in automobile.

So American spec all the way is the way to go then.

One last thing Sir, how can one easily identify/differentiate the American spec from its other Asian counterparts like the SA, China, European and the Asian specs?
vin number

European vehicles. As a brand, not European Spec. But European Brands.


BMW
Mercedes
Volkswagen
Land Rovers

The above are European brands


But from my research, irrespective of the fact that the European cars are better base on the following:

1. Better Fuel Efficiency sad

2. More Technologically Advanced cool

3. High Resale Value

4. Solid Engineering cool

5. Aesthetic Appeal cool


Fuel efficiency:

Fuel efficiency in the context of how much fuel per mile. They consume more

Fuel efficiency in terms of torque per fuel. Maybe.


High Resale Value: Resale value is dependent on demand. There is less demands for European vehicles compared to their Asian counterpart.


So European vehicles do not have high resale values.


On reliability scores, Asian vehicles have proven more reliable than any other brand.

The biggest market for vehicle is America. More asian cars are sold, than even American brands.


If you need a vehicle you want to wake up to, and start and wont go to limp mode on you, go Asian.


Now for spec

In reality, American Spec vehicles.

A Toyota American Spec
Mercedes, American Spec
Volkswagen American Spec

Will have more luxury, taste, safety features, finish and practicality than any specification. It is a cultural thing. They want it all, big, and tasteful.



Using the Corolla

The American Spec Corolla will be more luxurious, well built, have more safety features than any other spec.

There is Corolla European Spec
South African Spec
Asian and Chinese spec.

Compare them in reality, the American spec is better, costlier, easy to repair and more durable.

Infact, are you aware, if you have a bad ECU on an american spec corrola, you dont need any special tool for programming.

If you have all key lost situation, you can do a reset from almost low end programming tools.

The Meter makes more sense in spelling, than metre and color to colour the same way the Americans have been more reasonable and practical in their specifications
