3rd party? You never baff

My brother, when I saw his quote, I just didn't know how to reply him anymore.

Before anyone comes back to say 'comprehensive insurance', that lump of cash which will be donated to the insurance monthly is not child's play, most people will rather buy the Benz and use that cash to maintain it, instead of buying the boring corolla and dashing cash to insurance companies

I understand u perfectly but I easily get irritated with people who refuse to at least scrutinize corrections first ..

she was duly corrected and her response was...
04 or 05 the pics are there --- then dadr in his gross ignorance also substantiated the claim.....

well u guys can say I find the thrill appealing.....

yes I do, and u have u reconciled with ur uncle cosplay?

before u remove the speck in my eye remove that mole naw....

be the matured dude that u all claim to be and do the needful!

Cosplay is still here forming moral boss on NL, so anytime I come across a situation where he's trying to paint himself as an epitome of all that's good on NL I usually don't hesitate to shove his mess ups in his face, then he'll quietly withdraw.

In this lady's case, she's obviously not trying to enter the car selling game or something, instead, she just wants to sell her car and move on. Do u seriously expect her to become a car mechanic cos she wants to sell her car? Like she said, the pic is there, you who are a guru has seen it and know the year, so go ahead and buy or move on.

NB : We all sell things we don't need every once in a while, if I put up my laptop for sale for eg and someone come attacking my ad cos I didn't state all the technicalities expected of the laptop I'll also ask him to fûćk off, you either buy or get lost

Hi there, I need a gear box for the Volvo S90 95 do you know where can I find it? thanks

Come to Volvo market close to daleko, you'll surely get it. I've stopped giving contacts of parts sellers to strangers cos next thing I'll be accused of being a thief else I would've dropped some here.

But if you get to that market, your problem is solved. Cheers

and for those uninformed peeps, u give me too much undue credit.....

I ain't no NL god..... I still dey respect and honor certain monikers on NL.... people wey get my power X2

names like cosplay, Gazuzz, thebigkendo., egunmogaji etc.....

not because of anything other than their intellect...... seriously I no follow for these names....

I have been called many names... infact I'm currently the Director General of the Demeanour's Democratic Alliance... conferred upon me by the great dancok himself .... oga val also conferred on me; some major titles..... but I count it all joy not to have attained but to continue pressing towards a cleaner, transparent, honest car talk/ auto section where the competition is healthy.

Thank u all

You for take am easy with the lady thread sha, as its obvious she's not interested in entering car sales, but just looking to sell off her car and move on.

What you did to her is bad for NL in the sense that other people who are watching will become hesitant to advertise their cars on the site for fear of this kind of harassment.

If to say na person with about three or four cars and above advertised now, then I'll sit and watch him/her being hammered to make them sit up at their jobs.

I've once scrolled on olx and saw someone advertise V40 as S40 and I sent him a private message stating the anomaly, next day I say a message on my inbox which read "thanks", and ad title has been appropriately amended. It gave me a feeling of fulfilment and I know you want that too, but you too attack this lady sha

Don't get me wrong.

I am not in any way trying to play down the anguish of losing a car to robbers or having a car vandalized. No. I agree that security with some Toyota models IS a serious problem. But that doesn't diminish the Corolla's very real strengths.

Back in the day I used to drive the family Peugeot 504 and vehicle theft was also a problem with the 'lions' of that era. Solution? We had all kinds of leg irons, pedal locks and 'crook' locks to make it that much harder for thieves to disappear with the car. Clumsy and unwieldy solution? Yes, but it worked. The only thing one really couldn't guard against was thieves making off with the stereo set or other valuables - 504s and Toyota's were very much alike in that respect - loose women - the same key could open all of them .

Despite these security failings, Corollas (and other Toyota's) do have indisputable strengths. I just try to work around their failings as some have suggested here - stuff like welding the ECU housing shut or something like that. Small price to pay for the Corolla's storied reliability in my opinion. And the newer models seem to have sorted out the security issues to a large degree.

People like you make NL sane, make points without insults, emotions and bigotry, kudos.

My only issue with this your post however is that you seem to have tilted it to corolla vs others, in terms of reliability. Notice that I made my reply to you in response to your quote about the hate for corollas as seen on the first page.

When you've been bit hard by those so-called 'small' shortcomings of the car, you'll have nothing but disdain for anything that comes from that brand. Same way I'm sure some people don't want to ever hear the name "Volvo" mentioned in their presence, due to some previous negative experiences

Car Talk › Re: See What Corrola Hunters Did To My Car by valarinz: 7:08am On Sep 03, 2018

VolvoS60:
My sympathies to those whose cars were vandalized.

What I don't get though is the intense dislike towards Corollas expressed mostly on the first page of this thread. They are economical, rugged and above all, damn reliable. They are no-nonsense cars that just get the job done. Quietly.

Sure, they may have problems with security and suspension components but that's about it . At least with Corollas you usually don't have to worry about everlasting overheating problems and chronic leaks - coolant, power steering fluid and engine oil. Look below for what the "others" have to deal with even with meticulous care and special treatment:

VANOS hell.
(Alternator bracket seal, ignition coil, thermostat and water pump impeller) failure
Airmatic hell
(Valve cover, camshaft chain tensioner and oil pan) gasket failure
Auto transmission solenoid failure
Balance shaft hell

And so on...

Meanwhile Corollas and other Toyotas just get on with it and do the job without fussing or complaining.

Japanese engineering and quality control remain wonderful things to behold.

The truth is : until you experience it you will always think and talk with "wisdom". You will have all these wonderful analysis about how its still a good car despite the 'ordinary' security issues then it gets stolen

That's when you realise its actually better to own a car that takes you to the mech once in a while but still maintain ownership

That's when you realise the emotional trauma involved in losing ones car is not child's play

That's when you get to feel the pain of repaying loan on a car someone somewhere is using

I used to sing the Toyota hymn and never believed there was any good car in the planet apart from Toyota until it happened to me and my heart was broken. To worsen the matter, on reaching the police station to report, the moment police asked me which car model and I said " Camry ", the way they lackadaisically passed me a blank sheet to write my statement and move on like they are actually tired of people coming to " disturb" them with their Toyota theft was heartbreaking.

Nigeria police actually advised me on the nooks and crannies where possible vandals might dump your car after vandalising it and asked me to go and search for it using bike, to call them if I successfully find my car for them to come make the arrest.

Where am I driving at? The system doesn't help you either if you fall victim, you're on your own.

Till when sshit as bad as sudden loss of your property happens to you, you won't understand what it means.

NB: you could also type in confidence of your wisdom cos perhaps the cost of the Camry ain't a biggie to you, more like a toddler crying about their spilt ice cream. But bear in mind that 90% of people who buy those cars actually bought them cos they are afraid of costs of maintaince and fueling other brands, hence can't be said to be very financially comfortable.

Cosplay:

Because the "has X his" part of this sentence is in the present perfect, and the present perfect is a compound tense, and compound tenses use participles, and the present perfect uses the past participle, which, for "to hide", is "hidden", the following is more appropriate:

...has hidden his...

"Hid", on the other hand, is the simple past and is not used with "to have".

...he hid his...

All this one wey you dey do, na NL your accomplishments end, I have never claimed to be the most educated member here. I don't correct people's grammar too, I care less about the errors you pick on my posts. Matter of fact when you hear me speak English you'll also realise I have a heavy accent, I make no pretense of it.

However you avoided the comparisons I made between you and the guy I quoted and instead you focused on the irrelevant things .

You are one and the same mentally as that poster who mentioned 'Ibo' boys, you're a bigot and senseless fellow and so tribalistic you go ahead and start insulting people's tribe on NL when their posts don't suit you.

Make an answer to the points above, you can also correct any grammatical error while at it ....waiting
