Hello people, from a 15 year old!

S2kyon · 23rd January 2025, 14:48

I will try to keep it short and simple. I have been an active reader for a few years now, until the time I found out that there is no age limit for this forum. So I thought to myself, why not give it a shot?

Who am I?
I am Syon pragyan Behera, a 15 year old from Bhubaneswar Odisha. I have been interested in cars ever since I was born and though I can't drive yet, I believe it will be the most redeeming experience when I actually get to do it. I do not come from an automotive family, though me and my father are keen on visiting new cars (except electric cars, I have not even sat in one of them). We also go on long road trips. I am also someone privileged enough to have gotten in on the first try

What do I currently drive?
I am privileged to own quite a lot of cars, 109 to be exact. My favourite ones are the BMW M3 E30, Nissan 400z and the Honda S2000 (as can be seen from my username).
Well if it is not obvious already, I am talking about Forza

Jokes aside, my extended family owns a lot of cars, but I will keep it short to my own family, which owns a Chevrolet spark (2007, has run 53000 kilometres), Maruti Suzuki Alto (2012, has run 181000 kilometres), Honda city (2015, has run 57000 kilometres) and soon to be added; An Innova Hycross (already booked)
Bike wise: We own a Honda Activa, RX100, UCE Bullet 350.

What am I interested in?
Cars, obviously. Though I have picked up on bikes since last year. I am yet to get my hands greasy as the only thing I have ever done was change a cabin air filter. I am also extremely fond of bicycling, as I use my bicycle all the time for commute (It does help that Bhubaneswar has good infrastructure for bicycling). I love listening to songs and my music taste is quite, composite. My favourite artists are Asha bhosle, Kishore da, Queen, Nirvana, Jagjit singh, The Local Train, Prateek Kuhad, etc. I am also fond of gaming, I "borrow" games (I'd say it qualifies as blatant stealing) from my uncle's steam library, like Forza horizon 4&5, Witcher 2&3, Sniper elite 2,3,4, Need for speed 2015, Payback, Heat, Valorant, etc (The list goes on).

To what places have me and my family gone for road trips?
Too many to even state, But I'll only mention Significant ones.
1. Solapur to Pune, Mumbai, Nashik (Chevrolet spark)
2. Banglore to Mysore (Rental ciaz AT)
3. Bhubaneswar to Kolkota (Chevrolet Spark)
4. A trip covering the notable whole of Chattisgarh (Honda city)
5. A trip covering the notable whole of Madhya Pradesh (Honda city)
6. A trip covering the notable whole of Uttar Pradesh (Honda city)
7. Bhubaneswar to Digha (Honda city)
8. Solapur to Bhubaneswar (Chevrolet spark)

What do I plan to do here, on this forum?
For now, just continue reading like I used to. However, with the attainment of my membership, I may post travelogues mainly and occasional reviews on all our cars and the newly launched cars. I also want to be educated on the bikes, which is something I lack right now.

What do I promise to do here, on this forum?
Be respectful, and make use of my original thought and thinking, without giving in to the temptations of AI use. Crave new information and knowledge!

How do I end my Introduction?
Alas! This is something I cannot answer. I'm not that good at ending things with a bang. I guess a show of gratitude may seem perfect.
Thank you to the moderators for having faith and trust in my love for automobiles, and I cannot wait to post more!
Lastly, here's a picture of our beloved!

Welcome to the Forum S2kyon and hope you have a good time here. Wonderful to see such a detailed intro from a new member. Those are some impressive odometer figures on your cars and clearly your family has a thing for road trips.

My son is also just a little younger than you and I love road trips with him - I think they're an excellent way to get to know the country better as well as bond as a family while you're on the road.

Do take some time to go through the forum rules and we look forward to reading your posts as well as travelogues from time to time.

Welcome to the forum S2kyon and what a lovely introduction. Just when I start to feel pessimistic that the new generation is not interested in cars as much as the older generation like us, I see such beautiful posts to cheer me up!

Have a wonderful stay on the forum and hope to hear a lot from you in the coming years.

Hey there S2kyon!

What an amazing grip of English language, sprinkled with a tinge of humor. Interesting choice of favourite cars.

Hope to see you around : D
