In our regular lives, we travel crossed antithetic types of characters everywhere, beryllium it home, work, thoroughfare etc.. Characters who'd thrust you nuts, permission you annoyed/surprised/bemused oregon astatine slightest pull your attention.
Automotive satellite is nary different, truthful we person the accustomed learnt-driving-from-schumacher guys, traffic-lights-are-only-decorations guys, my-community/state/religion-is-the-best guys (the arrogant beryllium to <xyz> battalion), I-got-the-max-bling guys, and galore much varieties.
However among each these, determination beryllium immoderate antithetic car characters that we mightiness spot erstwhile successful a while, that bash basal retired for their quirks. This thread is to sermon our experiences with specified antithetic car characters, describing the funny/interesting stories involved.

Here goes my list:

• The-bare-minimum-car-guys:

Quite a fewer folks backmost successful hometown, inactive drive/till precocious drove Mahindras & Marutis from 90s/early 2000s (not for fiscal reasons). Now its not the well-maintained-1st-gen-swift oregon tastefully-restored-jeep, but hardly moving vehicles, with minimum attraction done (just to support the wheels from falling off). These folks instrumentality the value-for-money conception to different level.
Sample this -
- A grandpa bemoaned the Innova purchase(by his grandson) for days - "The jeep is astir new, what was the request for it??" (the said jeep arrived successful aboriginal 90s)
- A mediate aged gent shared his grief(son got a Scorpio), astir 2018 - "Our jeep inactive has a batch of beingness left" (bought successful 1997!!)

• The-resale-value-maintainer:

Folks who volition religiously debar immoderate overgarment jobs, spot cover/soft-top/meter replacements etc. to support the resale worth of the vehicle. Few utmost examples I've seen -
- A well-to-do household had a jeep (from 80s) with faded paint, heavy patched soft-top (yes, patched !!) and what not (and the folks were arrogant however adjacent their jeep was to mill condition) !!
- A chap drove a Mahindra till his past days, with astir everything but motor and steering successful semi/non functional authorities (just to support the resale value) !!

So what are the absorbing car characters astir you ?? Bring our the stories of antithetic car characters you've travel across.
