A lighthearted post featuring a blue Hyundai i10 sporting an “ARMY” sticker and the witty bumper line — “My other car was a tank” — has taken the internet by storm, spreading both laughter and admiration across India.
The viral image quickly gained traction on social media platforms. The post, captioned “Not overtaking this one,” struck a chord with netizens as a humorous yet respectful nod to the country’s Army veterans adjusting to civilian life.
The photograph’s charm lies in the contrast it draws — between the rugged main battle tanks like the T-90 Bhishma, known for its unmatched power and precision, and the humble Hyundai i10, a compact city car known for its comfort and mileage.
Social media users flooded the comments section with witty remarks and heartfelt tributes. One user joked, “From T-90 Bhishma to Korean Hyundai — what a downgrade,” while another added, “Still wouldn’t dare to overtake.”
The viral post serves as a perfect blend of humor and patriotism, reminding citizens of the humility and simplicity of India’s veterans even after years of glorious service. The image stands as a touching tribute — proving that while soldiers may retire from the battlefield, their spirit and pride continue to inspire the nation every day.
