Is It Wrong To Subject A Car To A Hard Life After Its Been Cared For I was on Craiglsist, as I spend much of my time these days, the other night when I came across language that troubled me deeply. And no, I wasnt on the part of Craigslist where you find someone to hurl sexual insults at while they clean your apartment for free. I already got someone for that this month. It was an ad for a car. For the purposes of this story, the car itself doesnt matter, but the fact that its from well outside any city does. But heres what the line said Car has had one owner since 8. Have all service records for the car since 8. Now, as you probably know, thats exactly what you want in a used car, especially one bought from a classified ad.

All the records so you can trace whats been done, its garage kept, and has had just one owner, so theres presumably some consistency in the manner of care and repairs. This is a car that has been loved very much, owned by someone smart and meticulous and careful who cares about what they drive. So heres my question, dear owner Are you obligated to maintain that same level of careWhats your responsibility here I ask because as Ive mentioned before, I recently moved from Texas to Brooklyn. Im between cars at the moment. I wanted to take time to figure out what my budget and parking situation would look like. But I want another car. Unlike some of my predecessors, I believe the guy who runs Jalopnik should own a damn car. I need another car, preferably something old and interesting. And Ill get one soon. But lets face it this car will likely be street parked, or garaged in one of those neighborhood garages full of dozens of other cars.

It will be maintained as meticulously as I can manage, but it will still face harsh winters. It will contend with the horrors of the city, deal with inattentive drivers and bad parkers and random acts of chaos. Even on the best of days, it will be far removed from its perfect, garaged, one owner suburban existence. In short It will live a hard life, as all New York City cars do in some way or another. But it will still be driven and loved and enjoyed. Does the car deserve that Or do you, as a buyer, have a greater obligation to maintain the same level of care as its always enjoyed Granted, the owner could decline to sell it to someone like me, a city dweller, because he or she knows what could happen to their former baby. And thats their right to do so. But does a new owner owe a good car more than that Or does none of this matter, and fuck it, its a car, you own it now and do whatever you want with itV. V. S.

Playing style and PositioneditLaxman is known for his fluid style, technically sound and aggressive. Sambil Bal of ESPN Crincinfo writes At his sublime best, VVS Laxman is a sight for the gods. Wristy, willowy and sinuous, he can match sometimes even better Tendulkar for strokeplay. He has the rare gift of being able to hit the same ball to either side. He was equally skilled against both pace and spin, with great timing and outstanding ability to place the ball splitting the tightest field positions. Laxman was particularly skillful in using his wrists reminiscent of his role model and fellow Hyderabadi, Mohammed Azharuddin that allowed him to place the same ball to different areas of the field.
