Hyundai Santro Zipdrive - Feb 2002
Maruti Suzuki Swift DDis - Dec 2007

The Zen MH410 was handed down to me so not new, My first love

Didnt bother with the Santro delivery etc as I was hurt having to part with the zen. So its only with the DDis that I went through the actual exciting "new car" feeling

Glad to be back with Suzie ! Hehheh

Our first new car, we sold it today.

Yes, the Maruti Suzuki 800 (1996 model, carburreted engine, 1.5L on odo), was sold today for 45k to a local dealer, since it had become a white elephant.

Goodbye my good old M800!

since i had always driven cars that were previously used by my dad or someone else in my family, my first brand new car experience wasn't that special when i got a honda city in 2005.

My first car was the Gypsy King 1.3. It was white with a beigeish hardtop with massive MRF zigmas (cant recollect the sizes) on stock rims. Man, those were the days...!! bling ICE, chicks, pub-hopping, and weeklong getaways

I have explored my beautiful country with this vehicle. It used to be personally tuned by Bobby Jayaram for me, and I had some suspension and exhaust mods on it. I did close to 30k kms in one and a half years before i sold it !!

I still regret selling it and will buy another one in the future, as a weekend getaway vehicle. this one i intend to keep for life !

My first "new" car was my green face-lift Honda City 1.5EXi that I bought within a month of the face-lifted model being launched!

Maruti 800 , November 1999

First new car: FIAT Palio 1.6 bought in 2002, with cash (as in Rs.5 + lakh in two plastic bags!). Was over the moon on that day.

The day I bought my second new car (NHC GXi) did not feel special at all. Perhaps part of the reason was that the car itself was not as good as the Palio.

Well, all I ever managed to buy was a 1967 Standard Herald. Not new, and certainly not shiny. But still my own.

So that's what the mafia drives in UP! Just kidding, please don't get upset!

Not my first but best and most heartbreaking. My 1975 Ford Bronco, four wheel drive, 5.0 Liter V-8 motor, stick shift that could climb walls, ford rivers, go thru snow storms and keep up with almost everything on the road. I had it 3 months. I went out to the curb one morning to get in it to go to work and it was gone, stolen, never to be seen again...except as my avatar. Goodbye, noble steed!...sniff, sniff, sob.

Absolutely love the bronco, dan!
Wish I had stolen it! lol

spanking new VW Jetta 2000 Model. Had to sell it off in a year when i came home. But thats one helluva car. Driven quite a bit of cars japs, americano,german. Still the VW manages to stand out of the crowd. No wonder they call it the Poor Man's BMW/Merc.
