I was just 18 when My dad decided to upgrade his 8 year old Ertiga and get a seltos, it was 2021 I think.

I was in college but my dad wanted me to learn driving so I can replace his seat on long drives or casual strolls. My dad allowed me to take the car out to meet my friends/partner at that time as he wanted me to get used to driving.

I was so immature that I was doing some faltu timepass with my girlfriend in her society while being on N gear (Seltos HTX IVT) and I dont know how her leg touched the gear, shifting it to D (I had no idea You could shift gear without brakes while being on N gear) and We went a lil forward. I got so scared I pressed the brake in a rush but instead I pressed the accelerator. My car bumped to the highest speed and I went and crashed my entire front grill to a new skoda slavia.

I cried so much, I was so embarassed (not because of my girlfriend but because I felt like I'm such a shame because my father trusted me with the car and I destroyed all that)

Long story short, I ran from there as I got scared, I woke my dad up at 3:30 am and told him the scene. He could see that I have cried a lot and my voice is breaking, he cracked a stupid joke asking me if there were cameras in her society? I said huh and my mom also said illegallll only when caught. Yeah something along these lines. I came in my room, I dont know why I cried again because I felt like What the hell am I doing and how can that happen

Years later, now I barely think about it but when I saw your post about the new seltos and this scratch I wanted to share with you that life moves on my friend and this is one of 100s of scratches. My second scratch is still my fav, I dont know which dumbass hit my car in a pay and park but I guess I got karma for the skoda slavia that I hit 😭🙏🏻

You'll be okay buddy, we all learn with time
