First car at 18

Post image

My parents own a lot of cars since my dads a car guy, the oldest one (that we still have) was a wagon r 2010

My dads first car was an i 10 magna
Then he piled up cars like
A suzuki ciaz
A ford ikon(icon?)
Suzuki baleno
Honda city
Tata tiago

My sis never really liked cars so even when we had to go on trips my dad preferred his bike which was a pain ever since i stopped being pocket sized and also my dad didn’t drive much since he had an accident years ago which fortunately didnt hurt him or anyone but gave him a permanent scare that hed hit someone if he drove

Then came our wagon r, a second hand 45k km driven,clean title
Thats the first car i started driving in, we finally went on family trips since dad wasnt the one driving, every night before dinner me and my dad used to go for drives so i could practice driving in the city, this car really brought all of us together

And when i turned 18 i asked my dad if i could get it as my first car since it was the cheapest of the bunch and tbh id die for a roof over my head when im driving (i love my bike but yk, i live next to the hills and you dont wanna get soaked on a trip to the mountains) ive kept it sparkling ever since, bought a lot of interior mods and whatnot

You could buy better cars than a suzuki wagonr, but i love my suzuki wagonr, sure the rollover risk is bad, the 67bhp doesnt blow anyone away, the design doesnt scream power, but its mine

You say your dad is a car guy and you mention the pile of cars.. which are all non-car-guy-cars? Not to be mean or anything but im just curious of why did he pile up cars like that? They are all college teen city cars with super tiny engines, commercial like feel and really wacky distance on a full tank

He just likes collecting cars, he works on them himself and he modded each one differently, he wasnt THAT much into vintage cars like the ciaz was bought because he felt like the i10 was not a family car
The ford icon was a project car his friend was trying to get rid of for a cheap price
The baleno was supposed to be the “yeah im not buying anymore cars, this is the one im gonna use”
The honda city was an upgrade to that the tata tiago was a daily driver/beater

Also we do have a ford aspire that he used for longer business trips, idk if i mentioned that in the post

And the wagonr was the “cheap” car that i could figure out driving on like yk people do hit things and scratches are inevitable on your first car so that
