Introducing me and my car crush

Dylanizm · 12th October 2021, 12:13

Hi All,

Much hyped to be part of this forum, looking forward to many good quality interactions here! Sharing a brief introduction:

Basic Info:
- Age: 29
- Location: Alternates between Gujarat and Kerala
- Occupation: Team Leader at a BPO
- Been reading Team-BHP articles since 2011
- Interests apart from automobiles: Sci-Fi fiction, videogames

Car Crush:
- Ford Mustang GT Fastback, brace up for some background info below
- Love at first sight: Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005
- Follow up encounters: Gran Turismo (PSP), Death Race, Need for Speed the movie
- Started seeing this baby in some car shows and showrooms post it's release in India, my eyes were glued on this beauty
- Plans for owning one: As a driver, I love to be challenged. If in the future I find a Mustang GT Fastback that shares my vibe, I will definitely go for it. I certainly am saving up for one.
- Doesn't Ford's exit from India make it complicated?: Of course it does, I will recalculate the owning costs and plan my finances accordingly

Fun Facts:
- I review cars in GTA 5 (a videogame) for a website, this is my side hustle and is just so much fun!
- Married to my girlfriend of 7 years
- Been riding around India since 2016 on my Royal Enfield Standard 500 non-ABS
- Longest ride: Chalakudy, Kerala to Ahmedabad, Gujarat (~1900 kms)
- Longest one-day ride: Bangalore, Karnatake to Pune, Maharastra (~900 kms)
- I write stories and novels, would love to be a published author soon

Feel free to share comments or just drop in a hi.

Hi Dylanizm

Welcome to the Forum, hope to see your posts regularly. Do take a pitstop at the TeamBHP rules section and threads related to how to use quote, multi-quote features etc. As you are an aspiring writer I am waiting for your motorcycle diaries and would like to read your travelogues and ownership experiences. Wishing you good luck in your writing venture and also hope you would end up with your dream car.

Welcome

Same age as me, though vastly different in career and relationship

If you have already set your eyes on and plan accordingly, a Mustang should be a easy purchase before you reach your 40s!!! Maybe even before that.

Do write down/post travelogues of your KL-GJ trips. Please share the website where you review cars of GTA5. Used to be hooked to such websites when I used to play GTA VC and SA.
