I got ivermectin from IDH.
I was told to get vit C 1000mg, Vit D 1000mg and zinc 300mg. After 3 days, I saw the difference. Feel pretty better now.
see? Immune boosters

An applicant for Dealer Plates must be engaged principally and substantially in the business of buying, selling, or exchanging motor vehicles or trailers and maintain a facility dedicated to carrying on that business.
yes, but if you're buying from most auctions you need a license or are using someone with one and so dealer plates are a given. Speaking from years of first hand experience. Unless you are talking about public auctions in which case you are overpaying AND getting the worst cars.

You can imagine. I was tested and given this

1)Cap Azthromycin 500mg twice daily for 2days then 500mg daily for 6days
2) Caps Ibuprofen 400mg thrice daily for 5days
3) Tabs Vit C 300mg three times daily for 2 weeks
4)Tabs Dexamethazone 2mg twice daily for 3days
So they gave you an antibiotic, pain suppressor, immune builder/anti-inflammatory and steroid.

While it's good information, truth is your doctor didn't know what to do so he focused on just trying to make you more comfortable and supporting your immune system grin. You defeated it all on your own and probably would have without this. You are one of the lucky ones genetically resistant to it. Believe it or not the most helpful thing to you on that list was the vitamin c followed by the steroid then the pain suppressor. The antibiotic had zero effect on a virus.

Side bar: a lot of people here are reporting that after recovering from loss of taste and smell, they can no longer stand the taste of eggs. Is that the case for you? Supposedly something changes and eggs now taste horrible after recovery. Olorun ma je!

Good day house, am just here to tell you COVID is real, am a survival and am back to full strength here.
Lost my sense of taste and smell for more than 10 days now, thankfully with the drugs and herbs am on feet. To those who check up really appreciate and those I reach out to really appreciate. Once again it's real protect yourself. I was way below Hell and back. It's not funny
pele. Please loud it for them that it is not a common cold. You are the third NLer I know of. One of my best customers, owner of Enyo down the street who we rebuild motors for died about two weeks ago. His staff called to tell us covid done carry am (south African guy).

Guys, if you're driving on a road demarcated with two yellow lines in the middle, for example, Awolowo rd in Ikoyi or Bode Thomas street in Surulere, please never you overtake another car by crossing the yellow lines, as it will be tantamount to wrongful overtaking and subsequently counted as driving one-way if you're caught by LASTMA or police.
If you want to overtake a slow moving vehicle in front of you, try as much as possible to keep to your own side of the line without crossing it. Lagos State officials are cashing out on violators when caught. Always lookout for these little traps and save yourself money you would have used in bailing your car out of their hands.

we are here to learn so let me educate you guys .. if you are going to drive a car in the USA , you need license to drive , the car must be insured., register and you will need a plate .. .. so dumb ones( am guilty of it ) will take a plate from their car and put it on the car that is going to the port .. the risk here is if the cop pulls you over and reads the plate . if the plate information does not march what you are driving .. the car will seize and you will be given a citation and a fine which will affect your driving record .... so because you trying to save $150 or more , you end up paying more money plus inconvenience .. and some cars are not worthy , even though they look it..........

another option is a dealers plate .. you will need to find someone that has a dealer plates to drive the car to the port . and you will have to find your way back after dropping it off at the port , unless you ask someone to pick you up at the port . the cost to rent a dealers plate varies , but it will cost nothing less than $100.00 now if your name is not authorize on the dealer plate and you get pull over or get into an accident . the real owner of the dealer plate will get a citation.. the dealer plates are meant for drivers that are under that plate ... to save headache time and money better to get a towing truck
if you're buying from the auction you probably already have a dealer license and plates...

People buy cars closer to the Port.. If the Port is far away that is another Towing expenses you looking at .. And another thing is finding Tow truck in that area .. Most auction yard will give you about 3days or two days or so to pick up ur car .. Failure to do that you are looking at daily storage fees been charge to your account......
yes.. and a lot of southern states are port states

I have never visited their website. Bros when it comes to site traffic and making money, as long as there is no banner ad or they are not cold calling you to sell you anything. THEY ARE NOT MAKING ANY SHI SHI.
And that is where investors money comes in. They might be getting the company's share for cents of a dollar now. If the business succeeds tomorrow dey don blow be dat. And if it fails, it is what it is.
That is what they might be spending at the moment, investors money.

NB: This is what some guys (Nigerians) that want to compete with Uber and Bolt do not understand. They think it ends with deploying an app on App store, BOOM! And they don blow and send foreign app companies packing.
I always laugh in Pinyin.
did you forget they can also sell information and analytics?

Thanks Radautoworks

Really appreciate - will reach out to book an appointment once I get back to Lagos.

Final Question please, I'm yet to service the car after purchase last month - the oil cap says 5w30 but online, I saw that the recommended oil is 5w20.

Please advise

Thanks
no problem.

Without towing package, 5w20. With towing package, 5w30.

Oga dru, Madame radu, bishop and others please are there differences? Thank you
No, no difference. Some people shout rust but that's the case with any car from the upper half of the US as well. My Acura MDX I'm driving right now came from New York and I had to rust proof it before driving it in Texas. Anywhere it snows there is rust. It's just a question of how bad and what do you do about it?

Want to avoid rust, buy from southern US states and make sure to check Carfax that it did not come from a northern state.

Hi guys, please I noticed my 09 civic is bent towards one side, in essence the right side is higher than the left side,

Secondly, I've done alignment more than 3 times, but the steering still isn't straight and it tends towards one side. The steering also vibrates when driving. I've changed everything there is to change with regards to the legs.

Also, when I enter a gallop, the back sounds like the shocks are bad, but I just changed them in January. Someone said something about not properly padding it or something.

Please what can I do, thanks

Cc radautoworks, gazzuzz, blackbishop
sounds like frame damage but one would have to see to be sure

Good afternoon.
What is the difference between this two brake pads.
http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=WVR&partNumber=GNAD1293 and http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=PDP&partNumber=PXD1222H.
The second is platinum with additional compound layers apart from the ceramic in the first gold set. I use gold personally (the first). The second is on par with high end like Akebono and Wagner and really is for high performance vehicles. Can you use it, yes. Do you need to, not really.

Thank you very much for your prompt response.

Apparently, the drivers side begins to cool after like 30 minutes or so of continuous driving.

Please, will your answer change based on this new information?
it could be the door partially opening or it could be low freon which also indicates a leak. Further diagnosis will have to be done in person. Alternatively if you have a way to get hold of ac gauges, test the system.
