Indian Ingenuity: Frankensteined Cars on a Budget
With the average monthly salary in India hovering around $400-$450, purchasing a new compact car would require nearly fifty years of savings. Faced with this financial challenge, many locals have adopted a creative approach—constructing makeshift cars, a practice colloquially known as “Frankensteining.”
While these vehicles may not win beauty contests and certainly don’t match the safety standards of a Ford Focus, they serve a practical purpose. These home-built cars might not be the prettiest or the safest, but they epitomize the resourcefulness of Indian ingenuity, ensuring that drivers can reach their destinations despite the odds.
