Got parking in the exact same spot, and guess what, the same HP 0009 number plate Fortuner is parked next to me haha 😂

After 15 years of having this exit on the highway open for the airport road, they arbitrarily closed it yesterday. The sign is still there

Literally every single person was coming in at 60km/h to exit the highway and had to emergency brake at the last moment. It’s muscle memory for everyone to take this exit but they’ve closed it

Now everyone is reversing on the highway (I had too as well)

How to say you’re from Punjab without saying it? I can spot a PB car without checking number plate from miles away

Customized rear lights, extra sized alloys and tyres, lifted rear suspension, some strip lighting near rear passenger door, village name/surname on rear windshield and a Canada/UK/USA/Australia flag dashboard mat at the front. At least 4/6 of these features are always there

All Punjab taxi cars also put these yellow fog filters on the headlights in winter
