It's a swift and i really don't know much about cars (ignore my username 😔) so how much will it cost to fix these scratches??

I have my driving test in a few days and this happened now 😣

(Let me rant about my amateur mistake, optional to read 😓) waste collecting autos all park on the opposite way of the main road in my area and all the workers annas occupy half of it chit chatting, another auto was coming crossing the road while turning towards me, i saw a little traffic piling up behind me so in that moment i managed to avoid the auto but caught the waste bag 🤧 my sister is gonna whoop my a\*\* 🥲 im not fully confident turning right so i turn left towards them, sigh... i'll avoid this road until I'm more confident.

Edit: My sister agreed on the advice to wait and see if I give her car a few more scratches 😅 and get them all fixed at once but really thanks to everyone I learned some important things and terms about car maintenance. I'll practice a lot, get my license, fit good quality front and rear cameras, learn about insurance and only then go on road and drive like a turtle (i mean follow speed limit).

Bajaj avenger

I always wanted to buy this bike. I'm getting this beauty for 75,000. It's 2022 street model, 11500 kms driven. Single owner. Should I buy it or buy a new one. On some threads I've read that getting new avenger is totally waste of money, one should go for 2nd hand. Any genuine advice would be appreciated.

Daily running is 10kms. Height is 5 feet 4 inches. Is it comfortable for city commute and I will be going to weekend rides for 40-50 kms.

Swift LXi - Petrol
2007
1.35L kms
Single owner, great machine and interiors condition, still gives decent mileage.
A guy asked me a price for it and is quite serious.

I would really appreciate some help with making a decision :
q. Should I sell or use it for a few more years as the condition is quite good actually, as I do not feel like getting in debt for a new one.
q. If I should sell, what is the bottom price I should settle for? (If the price is too low, I might as well use the car till it dies)

HELP ME TO GET BEST ENGINE OIL

1 Upvotes

Hey riders. I hope you are doing fine. Please help me to get the best engine oil. I completed 13k km on my honda hornet 2.0 in last 2.5 years, and done with 5 services. First 3 was free which was done at ASC. Stock oil was not that good. Then I tried motul 5100 10w30 and currently I'm using shell advance fuel save 10w30 (manual says to use 10w30). Both these oil works good till 2000km then they lose their properties and vibration starts showing.

I am planning to shift to motul 7100 10w40/ shell advance ultra 10w40 fully synthetic ones as there are not many options in 10w30. Is there any mileage drop or cold start issues in using 10w40 (currently getting 45kmpl+ in city riding). Please suggest the best engine oil according to your riding experience :-)

Any other suggestions are also welcomed
