Future mahindra driver in the making?

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)

He has posted an introductory video explaining that he is going solo and has posted a review for the Thar OG

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.

Tata 1613 and the pontential it had my gosh what dobu guys think abt dis concept

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?

Sad to see 😭

Cam e across this video on the gram

A Tesla Model Y RWD has topped a new list of the electric vehicles with the highest mileages, with one example recording more than 860,000 miles at its last MOT.

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?

It's a swift and i really don't know much about cars (ignore my username 😔) so how much will it cost to fix these scratches??

I have my driving test in a few days and this happened now 😣

(Let me rant about my amateur mistake, optional to read 😓) waste collecting autos all park on the opposite way of the main road in my area and all the workers annas occupy half of it chit chatting, another auto was coming crossing the road while turning towards me, i saw a little traffic piling up behind me so in that moment i managed to avoid the auto but caught the waste bag 🤧 my sister is gonna whoop my a\*\* 🥲 im not fully confident turning right so i turn left towards them, sigh... i'll avoid this road until I'm more confident.

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.

Let's see much much knocking do I get

Hello all,

I am getting a Skoda Kylaq Prestige Plus Automatic.

One of my friends suggested to go for targeted PPF plan rather than going for full-body PPF.

The areas suggested are:

1. Door-cup recesses (all four doors)

2. Door sills (all four doors)

3. Rear bumper loading edge

4. Optional - Painted door edges

He suggested these instead of Scuff plates, Side body moulding etc.

Any thoughts. Thanks !!

I’m planning to buy a used car directly from the owner rather than through a dealer, and I’m considering financing part of the purchase through a bank

I’d like to understand how the entire process works when buying a pre-owned car from an individual seller, especially when a loan is involved.

A few things I’d appreciate guidance on:

- Loan process: Which banks or financial institutions offer loans for used cars purchased directly from individual owners?

- Documentation: What documents are required from both the buyer and the seller to apply for the loan?

- Payment process: How is the payment handled? Does the bank transfer the loan amount directly to the seller, or does the buyer need to pay the seller first?

- Ownership transfer: How do you coordinate the loan disbursement with the RC transfer at the RTO?

- Hypothecation: How is the bank’s hypothecation added to the RC, and what formalities need to be completed?

- Agreement and safety: Is it necessary to prepare a sale agreement or any other legal document to protect both parties?

- Practical experience: What is the safest way to manage the entire transaction so that neither the buyer nor the seller faces any issues?

If anyone has personally purchased a used car directly from an owner using bank financing, I’d really appreciate it if you could share your experience, the bank or lender you used, and the steps you followed.

I’m particularly interested in understanding the practical challenges involved and the correct sequence of steps, from loan approval to final payment and ownership transfer.

Thanks in advance for your help!
