Man celebrates his car's eighth birthday with cake
Updated | By Jacaranda FM/Udesha Moodley-Judhoo
There's nothing that can come between a man and his car...

Car enthusiasts will tell you – nothing comes between them and their beloved machines.
But some take that love to the next level. A man from KZN recently proved just how deep his passion runs by celebrating his car’s eighth birthday in true style.
This wasn’t just any celebration – it had all the essentials: balloons, gifts, and, of course, cake. Because why shouldn’t a car feel special too?
As it turns out, Brandon's ride is a Volkswagen – the very same brand that topped AutoTrader's most-searched list in 2024. Coincidence? We think not.

Brandon has taken the recent Hosh Karamaima trend in a different direction – while many used it to show off their wives, he proudly showed off his true love: his car.
The trend took off on social media following the release of Cassper Nyovest’s hit song 'Kusho Bani'.
The term "Hosh Karamaima", coined by Nyovest with the help of AI, describes “a gorgeous and distinguished woman characterised by a harmonious blend of striking physical features and admirable qualities”

Brandon’s video also highlights another growing trend among car enthusiasts – eye LED rear lights.
These flashy additions have been turning heads, and if recent videos are anything to go by, they’re making quite the impression.
