If you've ever driven down the Mehrauli Gurgaon road at a reasonable hour, it's likely that you've sometime or the other lost your temper and wanted to punch another driver on the nose. At any given time of the day it seems that most of Delhi and Gurgaon are travelling to Gurgaon or Delhi respectively. The road, originally designed for bullock carts ambling from Indraprastha to Gurudakshinagram (seriously, after one shower, the top layer washes off, showing archeological remains c 1500 b.c.) is used by literally lakhs of cars every day. It doesn't help that this road is probably the only route to much of Gurgaon, given that the NH8 super expressway is still in the distant future.
I wonder, if Guru Dronacharya had been around today, he would have probably shot off arrows to murder all the stupid drivers on the road. Naah, most likely he would have sold off his land for a few gadzillion rupees and would now be lying on the beaches in Bahamas with a nice cool drink in his hand...
I'm working on a long standing ambition - I shall buy a nice used T-72 tank from the army and use it to drive down the MG road. And if the damn Qualis from the call centre dares to cut into my path I shall roll over it with the panache of a Ukrainian cavalry man. It's nice to dream, isn't it?

Do they sell Hummers in India?
if you havta dream-- why don't you zwip over the traffic in a gold plated harrier jet capable of vertical take-offs and landing on the roof of your pillrolling R&D building.
On the other hand, if road space is your target, I suggest the saturn launch vehicle.
Learn to dream BIG.
@didi: Naaaah! There's nothing more satisfactory than running over a road-hog of a Qualis with a tank. If anyone objects, turn the turret round, point the 108 mm and softly say, "You were saying something?"
