Circa 1993 :-
El cheapo porus ( me) wanted to buy a automobile. Mainly to ferry me from my home to my college.The era was aptly named as "everything is my". Thus to get away from the family fiat, I go out and buy myself a second hand (circa 1991) Maruti 1000. The novice buyer did not have team - bhp back then to consult and paid more/extra to buy the M1000. I souped it up with a state of art sound system ( audio fan that i was ) pioneer deck the speakers tweeters amp, name it i had it , the the 12 cd changers system * sigh memory time*

Good days right now college till yesterday, My Maruti 1000 was like my heart beat. It worked perfect ( Purrrr fectly the engine "ticked till the last day") Never gave any major problem. For anyone who has a doubt or a iota of doubt framing in his/her mind about Japanese cars, I would vouch for Japanese cars over any other anytime. Maruti Suzuki thank you for making such a beautiful fanastic car.

The car went out of status symbols of pride years back. stories about it being given away "buy oneget one free" were told to me. Then I was told the model i am driving is outdated. (College days it matters to be seen with an outdated model /car hehehehe )But yet the car used to do long runs perfectly ( Mumbai -pune on old ghats road almost every weekend but never a problem occured not yet once)

I feel a nice part of my life went with the "Beast".

All that car needed was regular servicing and of course when i stopped servicing the car regularly it became worst in its health and started giving me problems like replacement of expensive parts.
The car ran a 4,85,000 + kms with me.

Thank you my Maruti 1000.

Circa 2008 :- December 2008 "The beast" was tamed.

The M1000 car was duly exchanged for a new one. Looking back i feel the extra money / over charge that the first owner of my car took from me was may be, he knew this car would last me 15 years + or may be, he was cheating me, for he knew that student would be easy to cheat,
I dont know what he thought then but looking back at the journey of 15 years with one car, one owner, and 4,85,000 under its hood i feel the money gave me more than monetary satisfaction.
