Recently, a Bengaluru man caught widespread attention after using his luxury car to fix a road on a city street. Yes, you heard it right. This man shared a video that shows him stopping his red Porsche after witnessing a pothole. Read on to know what happened next.
Man Uses His Porsche To Fix Potholes
A man identified as Akhil Yadav took to his Instagram to share a video of him trying to fix a pothole in Bengaluru city. In the clip, Akhil can be seen pouring bags of cement and water directly onto his car’s bonnet. He then mixed both materials into a thick paste using a trowel. Further, he scoops this mixture from the car’s bonnet and proceeds to fill the pothole right in front of him. While the act appears dramatic, especially when he was risking the Porsche’s exterior for it. The video gained widespread attention from across India, instantly becoming viral.
However, the video takes a surprising turn when he removes a layer of transparent Paint Protection Film from the bonnet, which shows the car’s original paint remained unaffected. Sharing the clip he wrote, “Everybody should take equal responsibility to keep our surroundings clean. Ours is a highly populated country, and the government alone cannot keep everything on track. This video is only to show the strength of paint protection film (PPF), but if every individual takes responsibility, we can also show the strength of our country. Why on a car? To show the seriousness of life and to showcase the power of paint protection film (PPF) for cars.”
