March 2022. Returning to Lagos from Asaba.

I was busy serving dust to other road users. Hiace oh, Sienna oh, ML350 4matic oh, I humbled them.

Until a 2008 or 2009 Lexus 460 came from no where and served me better dust. Fortunately, there was a police check point ahead so i eventually caught up with him at the check point.

I eye the driver, he eye me.... i smile, the werey sef smile. Wa'sere!! You wan race your papa abi?

The Lexus got out of the check point before me and took off. As soon as i got out of the check point, I switched to sport mode.

Took me about 4 minutes to spot the Lexus guy ahead. Immediately i saw him, i flashed my headlights 2ce, then floored the pedal.

Caught up with him quite easily.... Just before I overtook him, nicca wound down his glass, gave a thumbs up and took off.

I no even bother again. I just switched back to comfort mode and enjoyed the rest of my trip.

How can I be on 200km/h and someone will make it look like i'm not even moving

Since that day, i vowed never to race any V8 saloon.

Oh, BTW, I was driving a '14 BMW 5 series.

2) - BMW 7 series wagon (grey) the driver even fat sotay na belle dey hold the steering. I was driving a Volvo XC90 V8

psalmson001:


While risking the lives of all the passenger?

Dtruthspeaker:


Living is a risky thing already and if you look at the passengers, you would see that they do not feel risked.

They just sit cooly like the road knows their names

zoedew:

THEY ARE UNAWARE OF THE RISK THE UNWISE DRIVER IS EXPOSING THEM TO.

valarinz:


Bro, this thread is meant to discuss exactly that, speed. You can keep your preaching inside your back pocket now, thanks

Some people be acting like they have the key to life and know exactly how to drive in order to avoid death. I repeat, you could be there driving like a snail in your lane and it will come meet you right there too.

If you no sabi drive or dey fear, just sit and watch those who are better and hone your skills, stop all these nonsense emotional blackmail when a better driver and machine bests you 👍🏾

valarinz:


Which bus is a V8 pls? Those commercial buses ain't V8, even if there's a Toyota hiace V8 bus, it won't be used on transport services here.

That said, if you get beat by those buses while you're driving a sedan (4cyl or V6) then you should hang a big and bold "L" on the front and back of your car. You can make a smaller one and use it as necklace too 👍🏾

There's no evidence slow driving cars don't get involved in accidents too, there's too many factors involved. Driving slow is never the same as driving carefully, there's a great distinction

ariesbull:
when you get to 50 you will change your perception

valarinz:


You're funny o, you should also go to college and share your wisdom with the kids there, ask them not to live their lives after all when they get to 50, their perception will change

🤡 🤡

ariesbull:
you can kill yourself

9icetoo:

Biko, no vex. Na everyday we dey learn. Which bus get v8 engine?

Na peace abi na ifesinachi?

Na Ezewanta zhongtong bus.

Secondly


This happened on January 3rd.

I took one 2009 highlander sport. I went to drop one of my younger ones in Benin from Ondo( He was to go to Bayelsa). I took off as early as 4am. On my way back, Na so I begin dey race with this Mercedes GLA250 2015. Omo the guy kept me chasing him at 180kmph. My Car was like a feather. I later lost the guy when we got to Showboy in Ore.

kingreign:


Except your car was very sick or a 4 cylinder and fully loaded with people and cargo, that GLA250 can't outpace a 2009 highlander sports V6 from 0-180km/h where it electronic speed limiter kicks in. Yes, the GLA is lighter, by approximately 500kg, but the highlander is more powerful and equally stable on speed (the unit you drove has bad suspension).

In all, I highly advise you drive carefully.

9icetoo:


Na people like am dey lay credence to the fallacy that all things "Benz" dey speed well.

E carry sick highlander dey complain say GLA250 pass am. Say vehicle wey weigh pass 2000 kg be like paper for him hand. There are people who have no business going past 70km/hr in any car whatsoever even i a formula 1 car and he is one of them sadly.

The highlander was not built for speed oo maka ndi speed demons out there. But the V6 can keep pace with just about any regular SUV out there and can outpace most sedans with its powerful 2GR engine (the V6 versions)

Drive safe, stay safe.

Bro,that thing called highlander with 2gr FE dey run wetin no good!kai!
Anybody saying gla250 outpace am with 09-13 highlander either don't know how to drive fast or the car has issues.
I was surprised going to bayelsa when that thing keep up very well with infiniti jx35 with 3.5l v6,the guy tried to gap me no way,before na GLA lol ,it was only because I carry women for car and they all started screaming that made me lose the race with that guy.
Funny enough I use to think my Highlander has faults cos it's doesn't pass 180kph but will kickdown and rev high,never knew there was an inbuilt limiter.
And that thing is very stable at speeds too,
Thanks for enlightening me @kingreign.
And I've fixed my parasitic drain issue too,na amplifier been dey do am.
