i was driving around the other day, and i saw a hyundai accent (considered an "upscale" car here) pull up along side me. it had all sorts of fake chrome hood scoops in awkward positions all over. and a big exhaust, that sounded stock. and a giant spoiler. That car has something like a 60hp diesel engine.

the guy inside is staring right at me, wanting to race or something. wouldn't even have been worth my time, although it would have been fun to see the look on his face :p i tried to pull out my phone and take a pic but i had to turn and he was going straight :(

You got to give this guy props for owning a Land Cruiser (which is called what in India, a Toyota Prado?). India has a 100% import tax on imported cars, so if we here in the States are paying $55,000 for that vehicle, he'll be paying 55 lakhs (5,500,000 Rupees) for it, which is like $137,500.

Go on with your bad self and show that Hyundai driving fool what you are made of!

:p

Who's considered to be a "domestic" car manufacturer in India, anyway?

I think you can run over the Accent with a Land Cruiser and still keep accelerating. Yeah, pull up behind him and just run him over.
