May be. I don’t know. But if I just keep saving when will I enjoy ?

I prefer to invest in experience when I’m young.

Yes there are plenty but, we preferred a 7 seater because of floating population at my home and the long rides we usually take.

8. Nice Dude. Congrats on your new car, but I don’t know if I will come and have sweets itself and then I can’t come to see your car. I am that busy.

I hardly know who you are, How do you expect me to come and have sweets?

You must have already spotted this car many times on the road. But there are new features introduced in latest model. Its worth having a look once again.

I understand that you are busy. If you don’t know me , I’m sure I know you. Hence you have received this mail. Even otherwise.. you guys can take virtual tour of my car here on this page.

9. So when is the party ?

After buying this car, with the leftover money I could just buy sweets for you :)

10.So what’s the plan for the drives?

Many places are yet to be ticked off my bucket list. Though I did drive to Leh/Ladakh in my DZire, I plan to drive there once again. Want to join? Let me know. A convoy would still be a great idea to drive..
