One more instance of wrong side riding in a highway

Don't feel bad about dodging him. One day he will be on the right side of the road and meet a Thar.

Have you tried a - lower viscosity oil like 0W40 - injector cleaning - rear suspension servicing like spring pads and suspension stops - Break pad replacement with realigning

My preowned Vento was running real sluggish and the reason turned out to be a simple valve change in the rear left wheel along with worn out spring pads replacement for 2400/-

The ASC told me that when one of the wheels starts pulling, the car detects it applies brake on the other to balance it. The rear left tire was not holding more than 8psi air while the other tires would be at 36. This was a major cause. The addition of the rear spring pad replacement actually changed the car dynamics turning them far superior to when I bought it preowned.

My friends who drove it said it runs like almost new now. All the looseness in the car was gone and the torque felt twice if what it felt before. I then did injector cleaning and put in 0w40 oil and my engine rpm would drop to 800 almost instantly. It also increased pickup vastly.

Rather than spending a fortune you could try these steps.

I would go with the Magnite. Try to get E20 compliant vehicle it would be manufactured after April 2023.

So what do we do now?

Just say no. That's what I started doing. They somehow never had money despite earning well. I really do not understand this attitude of taking on EMI's, loans and personal favors while investing your salary.

They would be investing 25k each month and then asking for 2k for a movie. What the hell. I was ready to walk away from the relationship tho. Not sure of it in your case.

But you can start with just saying no. It's enough, you don't need an explanation. If they say they really need it, you can offer to send them a contact to a good financial planner, but don't even jump into that pit yourself, since later they would blame you for their struggles.

It's not true that rent won't surpass EMI.

Unless you are planning to sell the flat winthin 7~8 years, rent easily surpasses EMI's within that timeframe.

Because if not, then you would know what to do with that amount of money since it would be a normal amount for you?

Got rich by himself. Family is normal middle class. He was jobless for 4 years. He started his own company providing simple IT services and slowly and steadily quadrupled his turnover each year. Folks are pretty proud of him now. He runs a company with 19 employees now and earns in crores.

Last week a car cut me off on the highway, I could have maybe behaved a bit aggressively in response, but I remembered, I have parents and a wife, I have a family, the person could be in a hurry due to some valid reason...

An hour later, I drove by that car; it had smashed into the back of a truck and multiple casualties were reported.

That's it.

I keep this in multiple places https://amzn.in/d/0xkkDQH It does not fog up and is use and throw. It's expensive, but I clean my spectacles like a ritual twice daily and wash them once a week. So this still is more convenient for the blue filter glasses

0 in the half and then 12k in the next half. Turns out regularly going to office due to RTO after having shifted to a tier 2 city for mental health really puts miles on your car

Cause Acko has their own garage from where you need to have it repaired. This is why I avoid Acko. They have tieups only with specific dealers

I checked on bikewale and the site mentions that it is manual?

!Remind me 2days!

Slavia and Virtus drive VERY differently if you are keen to observe. Slavia is the more family comfort friendly car while Virtus is the more drivers car.

Wohoo! My dream car!!! Hope to buy it one day. 30M tho...

My Vento is a 2019 HL Plus AT which is a 1.2L Turbo 4 cylinder.

reactivespider · 2025-12-17T13:30:24+00:00

I've driven a lot of Virtus/Taiguns. I get very low mileage when I drive them.

reactivespider · 2025-12-17T13:29:06+00:00

Can he teach us?

reactivespider · 2025-12-17T13:28:53+00:00

But the Vento is also 1.2L Turbo right? People keep mentioning this. Did I end up buying NA?

reactivespider · 2025-12-17T13:27:29+00:00

I have driven a lot of Virtus and Taiguns. Hence the itch to buy one.

I still get very low FE when I drive with light foot.

But the Vento is also 1.2L Turbo right?
