Pranam
As usual, dry vetti-prabhandam. Today any car branded smart can be started
and raised to 100 Kms in 5 seconds. And no car needs to be started everyday
like the olden days; only the battery needs to be disconnected , not for
car health, but for the battery health. And after a year when I return back
from the USA , reconnect the battery, start it one stroke and drive out. So
car-Prabandham is unforeseen. KR IRS 141121
