The car’s story goes hand in hand with the human’s. For a creature always in a hurry to get somewhere, the car was always going to become an essential machine. And it’s mighty interesting how our species’ still primitive brains have shaped the horseless carriage for the past 140 years. Today, cars come in all shapes and sizes… most of which we’d rather not see. Nonetheless, there still are some fascinating machines around, those that provoke curiosity at first, and then launch full blown epiphanies: the right car will win over even the most hardened motorcyclist; more than 700 bhp under the hood will always challenge logic; an Indian EV can indeed be a world-class vehicle; good fortune is a cycle that inevitably loops back on itself via the lowest of lows. And if you see the headline, you’ll know where it all began for us. This one’s for you, Bijoy.
