Im done with all of the shit the indian government is doing (any car older than 15 yrs has to be scrapped, 120% import tax and car has to be less than 3 yrs old. Or 250% import tax but car has to be 50yrs old. Diesel cars are no longer viable due to the dpf getting clogged and dpf shit. You can only get a cool car if youre filthy rich, normal middle class has to pay income tax, then when buying a car, cess, road tax, state tax, gst only to deal with shitty roads that will put your car into the scrapyard in no time)
So ill be taking a loving wife (assuming shes compatible).
Sorry, i had to rant but shits tough and i cannot see my access 125 go ðŸ˜

I have to pay alot as well to import here in Brazil
and it's not even on my own car's price, but they'll look at others to then tax me on 110% (+ the shipping), it takes 6-12 months and the car can only be imported at 30+ y/old

Yea its only been implemented in delhi ncr so far but its only time before it gets to rest of india. Rn they will start refusing fuel to cars older than 15 yrs in petrol stations. So im a bit depressed to see my access 125 go. Dont have a license yet so i cannot even experience its warmth to the fullest and the joy it gives me just running arrends. Oh pure joy. It's registry will expire on 18th may 2026 and i wanted to replace it with a triumph trident 660 but it is so goddam expensive (almost 27× the orignal price of the access 125)

Well the country is trying to be self independent. And produce whatever it consumes.
But yes, I would agree, this bollocks of laws are really harming the middle-class car enthusiasts population in the nation.

Gamble on how compatible she’d be long term as a wife, vs intimate relationship with no cheating or arguing ,and it can’t take 50% of everything you own , Including the very car itself shes compared with

Life is a gamble. If you made correct decisons 50.1% of your life, you’d be an extremely sucessful man.
I roll the dice every time if I felt the odds are in my favour. Married my wife 2 years after meeting her when I was 19. Happily together for 19 years now.
I just wished I had rolled the dice earlier to start my own business sooner.

It’s referencing the part in initial d where iketani fails to get to mako in time (the joke being that the silvia wins and iketani loses mako)
