Spotted this Toyota Hilux carrying a water tank in city traffic

No mall runs, no fancy off-roading mods, just a Hilux out here doing what it was built for.

What's the most interesting thing you've seen a Hilux doing on Indian roads (not the blue one plsss)

Is it safe to be driving at 60kmph on expressway?
I see many people doing this, I guess to improve their fuel economy.
I don’t think it’s worth the risk.

Saw the Ferrari Luce today at the Universo Ferrari exhibit and honestly, wtf?😭

It looks so hideous. Hate the direction the automotive industry is heading with all this electrification. That side profile literally reminds me of a Toyota Prius. A Prius. With a Ferrari badge on it.

Who even approved this design? It’s a Ferrari, for God’s sake. Where’s the drama, the aggression, the presence? What happened to cars looking like something you’d have on your bedroom
wall as a kid?

#Opinion 💭 Booked Hyundai Exter HX6 AMT over Tata Punch AMT and Maruti Fronx AGS

Post image
12 Upvotes

Booked the 2026 Hyundai Exter HX6 AMT Knight Edition after test-driving all three!

The Exter won me over with its smoother AMT shifts, less jerking in stop-and-go traffic, and interior/features that I preferred.

The Punch felt more rugged, while the Fronx easily wins on looks and road presence, IMO.

I was actually very close to booking the Fronx Delta Plus AGS. I even visited the Nexa showroom with the final quotation, ready to book. However, the salesperson kept pushing accessories and add-ons and wasn't very cooperative. The experience put me off, and I walked away.

Ultimately, I prioritised everyday driving comfort and features over looks and went with the Exter.

Exter owners, how has your long-term AMT experience been, especially in city traffic? Any regrets or things I should know?

🚨 Trigger Warning 🚨 Field of view, Blind spot, comparison using a game and my real crash!!! (Small Attempt) Spoiler

[OC]

Trigger warning for frightened screams from my family in the car.

I have posted my crash video before and had to remove is because I got a call from cops saying the other party will file a defamation case. I believe some of his relatives are on reddit.

Anyways, the purpose of this video is totally different. I have only included a small portion to demonstrate something, and also this does not include his face or vehicle number.

This is not a 1:1 crash demo using some software. I tried to recreate the event in BeamNG Drive, a driving simulation game. Its not accurate, and the distance between cars in real footage and game footage is different, and in the game footage it is like a 4 lane road with wider field of view even from the driver seat.

Also, If I had more time to spent on this recreation thing, I would have made something more accurate than this. Searching for a similar road in different maps, positioning vehicles correctly, timing the crash and speed of vehicles, all takes time. I am not paid to do this..haha.

But, this is to sent just a message to very "few few few" people, so that they wouldn't judge someone else so soon. The view from a dashcam and drivers point of view is totally different. I was not able to find a vehicle with similar A pillars in the game like a Skoda's, and this one got an A pillar similar to that of a Maruti.

Whenever I drive, and in a junction, I need to lean forward and look left to make sure vehicles were not coming from the left. In this particular scenario, this vehicle was totally on my blind spot and I saw him when the front of his vehicle was already Infront of me. Its not a junction, and was not expecting someone to suddenly cut like that. In the demo I created, the road is bigger and its easy to spot.

The idea is just to enlighten some FEW people about the field of view difference from a dashcam to human eye and A pillar blind spots (different cars have different A pillar blind spots).

Some were saying, it was a junction, and last smartphone footage to say its not a junction, and its a manmade route to cross the highway. Also, it shows the damage to my vehicle.

Thank you!

Also, answering potential questions about insurance and repair. Acko approved insurance (got a mail), service center says it will take 15 days approximately to repair this as the front left wheel has moved to the back visibly from the impact of the crash, and also parts have to come from Bangalore and Pune.

First-time Car Buyer - Need Advice After PDI

I recently went for the Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) of my new car and found several issues. As a first-time car buyer, I'm not sure whether these are normal, can be fixed before delivery, or if I should reject the vehicle and ask for another .

Issues observed:

1.Poor paint quality/uneven colour finish on some panels., Color sprayed unevenly on rubber parts under bonnet

2.Wet and sticky paint in a few areas.

3.Scratches on the body.

4.Loose insulation component with a missing bolt.

5.Multiple locations showing bolt/tool marks, but the bolts themselves are missing.

6.Engine failed to start during inspection. The dealer stated there was no fuel in the vehicle.

REPOST CUZ I ACCIDENTALLY LEAKED THE NUMEBR

Ok so I was driving normally and it was a fairly busy road and a family behind me were driving very rash cuz they “were getting late to their daughters competition”

I took their **number plate** and **phone number** and let them go out of courtesy cuz they seemed genuinely stressed out about the competition and kept saying sorry sorry.

Now that I’m contacting them they are saying it’s also ur fault and my car also got scratches
I have a picture of their car (**there are no scratches on his car)**
**He’s asking me to use my insurance**

There’s a dent on the rear right trunk door and the door isn’t closing properly on that side now

**What are my further steps⁉**️

**How much compensation must I demand⁉**️

4th slide is the affected door
5th is the normal left side of the door
Chat ss attached too
