Yay! I've purchased my first ever car :), its not a new one, its second hand, but for me it's new, its of Silver color. It is Wagon R from Maruti Suzuki.

I purchased this for Rs. 2,80,000/- ($ 7000), new one cost around $10000.

Here's a picture how it roughlylooks like:

Congrad on your first car! When I got my first car, it was both exciting and concerning, since I just learned driving at that time and needed to drive down highway to college. But once you get the hang of it, driving is really fun, if not in traffic that is.

Hey, after you get used to it for say year or 2, you should mod your car! Get yourself wider tires, with up sized alloy wheels. Put a spoiler wing on the back (top), to add bit more down force. Cut your suspension lower for few inches. Put some body kits to reduce the drag, make it more areodynamic. Upgrade your engine with super charger, tubo charge the sucker to the max. Perhaps a Nitro system, too. ;)

Hey thanks guys, I wuv ya all :D

I drove the car yesterday for the first time too, my brother was sitting beside me, he know how to drive the car, he was instructing me pretty well, so he'll be my instructor for next 10-15 days. It was pretty scary experience, but I'm willing to go for next drive, tomorrow morning. :)

Sean, that Scion xB looks great :). Kieran, one liter petrol cost around Rs. 46.xx/- that's little over US$ 1. I think, 1 Gallon = 3.7854 liters.

Bot I am from Northern India (New Delhi), traffic condition is getting worse, too many cars here in Delhi :D New Delhi is like New York.

Hey Dr. Peaceful, once I get used to it, in about year or two, I'll purchase a brand new car :P:P:D;)

That car reminds me of Gran Turismo, and now I know why:

Now you can say you own a car that is in Gran Turismo 4 :)

Very sweet ride Supreet! It does remind me of the Scion. You just drive carefull and try not to get the heavy pedal fever. Treat your car well. ;)

I hope I can save enough money to buy a new used car next year. My 94 Accord FX is getting rusty in performance. :(

But I still love it! :_)

wow fuel is cheap eveywhere apart from uk - we pay £1.05 a litre - there are 4.54 litres in uk gallon . i think there are approx 2 dollars to the £ , so we pay approx $ 2.10 per litre, x by 4.54 = $2.10x4.54 = $9.54 per uk gallon :angry:
