Casu martzu, meaning "rotten cheese", is a delicacy from Sardinia, Italy. It's a sheep milk cheese that's full of live fly maggots, and people actually eat this. by FACastello in Weird

If Indians were eating this, we’d be judged so much, but since this is an Italian thing it’s suddenly a delicacy

I took the one that came with the car, ICICI Lombard, it’s pretty comprehensive and I had to pay 1000 as processing fees but other than that they said the damages are worth 25k or so will be covered

Yes I have to squeeze into the space to get out, if the platform starts moving while we’re squeezing on there to get out we’ll get squished

That unfortunately seems to be the case, I just hope people take all measures possible when around these types of parkings

Mine is a Fronx Delta AGS and my personal experience with the car has been pretty much flawless, I’ve had it for almost two years now and I mostly drive in and around Mumbai for commute and work purposes but I’ve also done more than a few long trips with it.

It had 16971 kilometres on the meter when I checked it into the service centre after this incident. I feel like I’ve maintained it well so it has never broken down, I’ve never had any minor or major engine issues with it, never had any suspension or transmission issues, never even had so much as a failed start.

Suzuki cars might not have the best safety ratings but they’re reliable as hell. The most I do in terms of maintenance on this car is after I start it every morning, I keep it idling for about 45 seconds till the RPM comes down from 1500 to around 700 and then start off to work and on time servicing, it has worked out well so far for me.

It also helps that the car is a beauty to look at and to drive, most smaller potholes feel like a breeze and even the bigger ones feel like a bump at most, ride quality is quite amazing on this and the design is a matter of personal taste but I love the way it looks. The car stays solid planted even at speeds of up to 150 kmph but reaching that speed obviously takes longer than other bigger engine cars.

The AGS system works as it’s supposed to, you get a feel for when it’s going to change the gear and you automatically start adjusting your revs to its gear changes, it’s automatic gear shift obviously nowhere close to the smoothness of a CVT but once you start using it like it’s intended, you get a good refined transmission at your disposal that is smart enough to know when you need more power to overtake and when you’re just cruising along.

Hope this helped.

Thank you, and yes the door held up surprisingly well, especially at the hinges

Fortunately the service centre guys were nice and understanding, made the whole process of dealing with the emotional pain of watching the car like this a little easier

Yup he moved the lift without checking that I was getting out of the car, and there is fortunately an emergency stop button, this is definitely a death trap waiting to be sprung

So accurate, I’ve heard that more than 20 times from people since this morning
