So... Mav !!!... You love cars... cool!... so do I !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mav :
I haven't seen the Bond movie yet but have seen the clipping the car
really looks cool...

Sam :
Watch the movie just to see the V12 Vanquish in action... :-)
I know almost all of it is photography... but still then...
The car is really powerful (it has to be... right? ... after all a
12 cylinder engine).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mav :
Performance vehicle, well looks hardly decide performance... the
Lamborgini looks a million but is severely underpowered :(

Sam :
Lambos (750hp) underpowered? I think not, Mav! I think they are very
powerful :-) ... but they are low cars. Getting in and out can be a
problem for some folks (though the cars have good leg room).
Since they are built for speed... they have to be low.

Do you like the new Maserati Spyder ??? :-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mav :
Also an all-wheel drive car is more safer than a rear-wheel drive car
especially in a spin, I took an esteem for spin and it turned turtle...
thankfully escaped with some scratches only...

Sam :
Its good that you escaped unhurt. :-)
An AWD is specially useful while driving in snow.
But the fancier(fast) cars are usually rear wheel drive.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mav :
Or decide to drive a Volvo truck... without the trailer I have heard it
has lots of power & speed...

Sam :
Volvo trucks are popular here... they are used to transport all kinds
of stuff.
Volvos are excellent cars... very safe... supposed to be the best
stealth cars around. Recently... Volvo introduced the SUV... the
Volvo XC90 (T5 or T6). Very nice... a SUV but drives like a car !!
Are Volvos sold in India ??
Did you know that Porsche is also introducing a SUV... the Porsche
Cayenne? But that will be very expensive... after all its Porsche !
The name "Porsche" itself is worth... say ~ $10,000 ;-)
Volkswagon is also making SUV's. I think it has the same engine
as the Porsche... but it will be cheaper because it is Volkswagon. :-)

In India... I have seen many Mercedes' (usually white because of hot
weather?)... a few BMW's... some Toyota's... some Honda's... a few
Ford Taurus'... a couple of Mitsubishi SUV's... and only one Lotus.
A couple of months ago... I watched an Indian movie... that Roshan
guy was the hero... and he was driving a Ferrari. Do people in India
drive Ferrari's ? I have never seen a Ferrari in India ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mav :
personally I had serious trouble over-taking
one of these new giants on the western express highway, ... the chase
started from Airport Centaur and lasted till Andheri Flyover North Signal)

Sam :
If I may ask... are you a cop ? :-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mav :
Thankfully the signal at the end helped me gain a lead, fortunately the
truck didn't enjoy the power to weight ratio I did... but he did have
some real mean raw power...

Sam :
Wow !! That is "road rage". Be careful... Mav. Life is precious.
I used to drive fast (but never raced other cars). And now...
after getting 2 tickets (in one year)... I am careful. Nowadays I
always drive below the speed limit :-(
Does your car have an automatic or manual transmission ?
Personally I prefer manual... because with an automatic transmission...
I tend to fall asleep... nothing to do... push the gas pedal and
go :-(
In India... do cops give you tickets for speeding, not stopping at a stop 
sign, not yielding correctly, improper parking... ?
But let me say this... Indian drivers are really experts. If one can
drive in India... he/she can drive anywhere in the world !! :-)

Take care... Mav,
Have a nice day !
-Sam.
