A few days short of 15 years of care.
1999 to 2014 AD.
As children of parents who grew up helping in polishing the Premier padmini and the Ambassador with waxapol over the weekends --
The Maruti 800 brought in a new world of unimaginable driving experience all together for both the generations at the same time.
The fun and thrill of driving a white Maruti 800, wearing white t shirts and the black seat-belts in stark contrast across the chest for special effects and the naturally flat stomach will never come back.
For all the creature comforts of the cars that we drive today, the 800 would be rated at the top of the favourite list for the simple reason that it gave us independence to be where we wanted to be from where we were.
White t shirts and black seat belts will always be a Sumitabh Badgel original idea.
Have driven a lot of cars with a lot of creature comforts. But there are two intangibles in a car that come only with time. "Trust " and a gushing flooding rush of "memories" every time you sit behind the wheel.
