Spoilt or Ungrateful,

were just two of the words that sprang to mind,


when I read about this unnamed Indian youth from from the Yamuna Nagar in Haryana, and is the son of a local landlord, when he decided to throw a hissy fit and his brand new BMW in to river, apparently his parents bought him the luxury car as a birthday present, but he expected a Jaguar but received this poor excuse as one, luxury cars like Jaguar, Audi, BMW or Mercedes-Benz have become a common sight in Haryana, with many landowners buying them with money received from the government in exchange for land to be used for various infrastructure projects, such cars are often abandoned shortly after being acquired, due to high maintenance costs, but in this case, the owner simply didn’t like the brand, 


the youth reportedly pushed the new car in a local river to show his anger, and teach his parents a lesson, due to heavy rainfall, the river was particularly swollen when the incident took place, and the car was swept away quite a distance before getting stuck on a bank of tall grass, a video allegedly showing the angry young man and some of his friends trying to recover the white BMW using an inflatable raft has been doing the rounds on social media for the last couple of days, CarToq reports that the disgruntled youth has already been visited by the police for his now viral stunt, but it’s not clear whether any charges have been brought against him, according to the BBC, BMW cars sell for around 3.5m rupees ($49,000), while Jaguars cost around 4-5 million rupees ($56,000 – $70,000), which could explain why he was so upset with parents, they obviously thought he was not worth the extra money! so is he spoilt, ungrateful or has a better taste in cars than his parents?
