Car TalkRe: What Do You Want In A Car Before Purchase? by shootsight(m): 5:08pm On Nov 21, 2013
azat: For many Nigerians (If not most) the most important thing is a 'Clean Car' and I4 engine. Most times, once the car is 'clean' nothing else matters, not even something as basic as the Engine Size.

I had a friend who wanted to buy Camry 2000 xle, but was finding it hard to find cos of scarcity. After explaining to him that XLE preorder could be harder to find and obviously more expensive, I asked him if the LE trim will not be enough for him, he said no. Then I specifically asked him what features/options he really wanted from the XLE trim he was requesting, he said ''factory fiitted AC, factory fitted CD and Alloy Wheels''!
I was so weak.
loooooooooooooooooooool... u aint seen nothing bro grin

RomanceRe: Guys Have No Right To Be So Choosy by shootsight(m): 6:29pm On Oct 04, 2013
Matthew briggs: In as much as I am not in support of the concept of "been choosy", I also believe one should never settle for less.

Moreover the premise of the op's statement is flawed. Let me re-engineer her statement to prove my point.

mtcheew >> okay yesterday, i was following this thread on nl about what ladies expect from their dream man, for the first time and i noticed that most pple seemed to want their man to be Rich (at least have a ride) handsome and tall. so this morning i sat in d lecture hall(i was a lil early)and watched people walk in. i decided to rate people by their wealth(those with car keys), looks and height. what i observed got me wondering if ladies have d "right" to assess guys based on their wealth, looks & height cos virtually all d ladies that came only verrrry few had a ride and even the one's that had a rides had it bought by their Bf of sugar daddies, also as per height out of every 6 ladies, there were 4 short ones, the remaining 2 were 'just there or tall'.

Guys on the other hand are the exact opposite. Most of them had rides bought by their hard earned money. also out of every 6 guys, 4 were Average height, one is Tall and only one is short. am a sucker for good looks by d way, i'll choose a good looking lady [s]over a short and ugly lady any time. anyway[/s] just my two cents <<


The fact is the way the society is structured, men and women are assessed by different standards.

It's either one is up to the standard and in turn enjoy the benefits, or falls below it and suffers the consequences.

Either way no matter the category you falls into. Live your life, enjoy it to fullest and maybe one day you'll get to find and live happily ever after with your one and only.

RomanceRe: Are Nigerian Girls Intimidated By Handsome Boys? by shootsight(m): 4:45pm On Sep 26, 2013
daryoor: fellow nigerians , why are you disturbing yorself and over analyzing this issue,
theres a girl for every type guy and vise versa.

A whole lot of girls are attracted to paid guys (with moderate rating in other features; looks, personality,age difference)

a lot of girl are attracted to handsome gees (with a moderate rating in other features as well)

from this point i'll stop with the '' whole lot'' quantifier...

Some girls are down with a broke and very handsome guy

Some hot chics can marry any guy regardless of ugly looks and other thinks

Some girls are turn on by intelligent and versertile guys even if he looks average.

Some girls want a born again bible reciting nerd, that has the holy spirit as his imaginary friend.

i just believe humans dont have a perfect theory that always apply. It is however important to note that successful people are attractive people they have more male friends than broke people why shouldnt they have more lovers also.

Car TalkAll Wheel Drive Or 4wheel Drive Vehicle For A Frequent Long Distance Traveller? by shootsight(op): 10:59am On Sep 26, 2013
Morning nairalanders ...
I want †̥σ solicit opinions as regards which vehicle type is suitable for a frequent long distance traveller.
№ω if u ask mε I'∂ say an awd(all wheel drive)vehicle comes in very handy for Τђε occasional ditch/gully one would need †̥σ navigate out of while travelling.
A 4wd on Τђε other hand is a dedicated vehicle that tackles offroad conditions with aplomb and is equally at home on normal paVed roads.

№ω i am basing my assumption on the fact that most 4wd's (four wheel drive) vehicles trade off ride comfort due †̥σ suspension travel and higher ride height in order †̥σ accomodate a low range transfer case. Since the 4wd will only be called upon a few seconds or minutes at best,Then i believe an awd will serve very well .
Awd's I believe function intermittently when wheel slippage is detected and as soon as its corrected it reverts †̥σ Τђε power sharing status quo which could be 5:95. i.e 5% power †̥σ front wheels and 95% †̥σ the rear driven wheels.
So I think an AWD would be my best bet. After all people with normal sedans or minivans successfully navigate bad stretches or portions of our highways without issues
Let's keep it rolling!

Car TalkRe: I Need Your Feedback On Ford Windstar 2001-2003 by shootsight(m): 9:32am On Sep 24, 2013
I push an 01 model. Strong reliable workhorse. Fast and balanced on the highway.
There're somethings u would want †̥σ consider though
1) rear axles cuts in two , usually under heavy load. I'∂ advice u †̥σ change Τђε rear axle †̥σ Τђε 1998 model year. Its stronger and doesn't cut.
Note I've changed mine twice before getting Τђε older model rear axle so its not negotiable if u wanna enjoy that truck Τђε axle costs 50-60k @ ladipo/ojuelegba auto markets
2) have Τђε front brake hoses changed too.. They tend †̥σ fail after 100k miles. Mine has failed once. Just change them and you're good †̥σ go. Cost about 1,000naira each

Its a good truck in summary, on full load u'∂ pick up speed effortlessly. Believe mε I've dusted a few good cars. ℓ☺ℓ.
Βε̲̣ carefull who u give it †̥σ service.

Car TalkRe: Why Do Nigerians Avoid Diesel Cars When Buying A Vehicle? by shootsight(op):
elektra80: Europe cars tend to be faster and more luxurious but those japs brings a balance to economy, reliability and comfort. if u can own only one car as ur daily driver and u have option between a 2008 Mercedes Benz e320 and a 2008 Toyota Camry which one would u choose. I mean a car that u drive everyday around the city,good and bad roads. most people will choose the Toyota because its more of an everyday car. Most people that own those exotic Europe cars have more than one car, and their daily driver is always these japs that u condemn
.



Diesel engines make more noise too and not environmental friendly based on emission
I agree with u on some of the points raised , but on others I'm afraid I disagree. First, even if one were †̥σ own just one car, it still boils down †̥σ a matter of choice. If u decide †̥σ go for the e320, it is only naturally u'∂ be ready for relatively and/or slightly higher running costs. Αяє u saying that there αяє no individuals who successfully use an European car as their only vehicle ?
Also how come the notion that diesel cars make noise ? Surely u should have driven or come across newer diesel car models ? Or are u going by the noisy and smoky trucks on our roads? Mr, diesel automobiles burn cleaner these days...
Car TalkRe: Andvise Before He Wastes His Money On LR3 by shootsight(m): 3:27pm On Sep 22, 2013
Unless your friend is ready †̥σ pay through his nose at Τђε fuel pump then no qualms ...
Τђε LR3 is notoriously thirsty, a real gas guzzler but then I would blame it on Τђε curb weight . Τђε 4.4litre has some serious pulling †̥σ do u know.
All in all. I think your friend should consider other options unless he wants †̥σ use it for an expedition into some interior settlement in adamawa grin
Its a terribly good offroader but for everyday driving on paved. Roads ? Naaaaaaah! Drives like a damn truck. Lol
