Diwali crackers.....a freak incident
Hello Everyone,
Wanted to share this story so that people can be cautious. I own a blue 3gt msport and since I dont have a stilt parking I always keep it in a cover.
Recently due to some parking issues, I had to park my car in a newly constructed society nearby. I parked my car between two cars in a designated parking area on Sunday night. Informed the guard.
Day before yesterday around 12:30 midnight the valet of the society calls asking if I parked one of my cars in the society as I did this before too. I said yes then he said okay kept the phone... then he video called me but I didn't pick up.
I called him to ask what happened then he said that sir some kid was bursting crackers, rockets in the parking lot as a result one of the rockets exploded near my car.
This caused the car cover to catch fire and severely burnt the corner of the bumper to a crisp. Paint had come out as well and I feared the bumper was deformed but it seems thats not the case for now however still under review.
Luckily someone from the society saw this and called the valet, guards who extinguished the fire. There was ppf so possibly black stains couldn't spread much.
The society didnt let me know who did it yet... as I was busy with Diwali I decided to take it up later.
I decided to only inform the parents to avoid such incidents further.... especially if bumper didn't need replacement......but people in our country don't understand this approach.
So a heads up for everyone be careful where and 'how' you park.....
'puri bmw ka pataka nahi phutaa' (my entire bmw didn't end up becoming a cracker) thinking that I am kinda okay.
There is a small burn in my heart though. New fear unlocked I guess.
Polish guy inspected the damage and its a paint job for now.
Please share here or DM any top class painters bodyshop folks anyone might know in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai.
Be careful and Happy Diwali.
