Write off? Wow.. didn't expect that :D

Manual says this: Gets me wondering if I should just get the harness repaired (a few wires that have snapped)

Yes, there is an additional light on the dash: which is funny because the headlights are fine, the fog lights are the ones that dont work

So I spoke to Fixit Auto in Milton. Looks like the major damage was not accounted for. The main wiring harness is damaged. It ripped. Fixit Auto does not recommend fixing it, as it may be a code and/or fire hazard. It's ~5000$ + labor. Plus the whole cosmetic damage, the estimate of which came...

Thought so too. That settles it then. I will update this post with the estimate.

@mimico_polak , I hope your mother is ok. This may be a silly question but I’ll regret if I don’t ask - Once I call insurance, they send an adjuster, and then it’s deduced even after the footage, that I am at fault, can I at that point choose not to go ahead and file a claim. Will that affect...

Thank you for your replies everyone, appreciate it. Update - the car is running fine; the windscreen washer tank is almost empty - took 12 hours to drain 80% of the fluid. It is not a coolant leak, which is a relief. I understand that this would be a collision claim, however, I am still unable...

Thanks, it was a CX-5. Updated the post. No damage to the lights. Main and Fog.

Hi Guys, Had a question. The following happened a couple of hours ago on the 403. Hit a mangled shopping cart hurtling down the highway after it hit the car in front. I was with my family driving home after a nice dinner. Wedding anniv today. Car was 2018 CX-5 GT I could have swerved, but I...

Thanks! Yes, it was a solo trip. I took my friend’s bike. I don’t think the V Strom is available for rent in India at the moment. Your plan - I actually did that. Got a bike after my probation in Infosys was over, 5 months after I joined. The same year, I went for my first Himalayan motorcycle...

Video from the Roghi - Kalpa road. Beautiful views, but very narrow, with vertical drops. Sent a chill up my spine:

Some more from that day: Shimla, the state capital, afar from night shot from my hotel:

Stretch of road prone to landslides. Around 200 kms: Moreover, this road is important to maintain from a national defense perspective because it touches borders arears and has strategic significance.

Thanks Thanks Shane. There wasn't a risk of no gas station. Within a 50 km radius, there was at least one gas station, after I crossed Shimla (which is the capital city of the state of Himachal Pradesh) The risk was whether or not the gas station would have any gas. The reason is because the...

Here are some more pics. This is from a village called Roghi. I stayed in the district of Kinnaur for 3 days was exploring local, typically isolated villages which are cut off from the rest of the world in winter as the roads are closed and the only way to reach such places then, is through...

I need to start, I just dont know where from..

True, but that exists only for around till you reach the outskirts/bypass. But yeah, a hop from Delhi to places like Kullu or Shimla will save you the hassle.
