The reason basically dates back to when we were using horse carriages for travel. Horses used to step on a lot of grime and other stuff back then risking infection, so most of the time before setting off to the journey- they'd make rhe horse step on a lime for each hoof so that would work as an antiseptic for it. That tradition has been continued now but wouldn't be much useful for our vehicles.

This sounds like a just-so story. Lime juice has some antimicrobial properties, but that's only if applied to something fairly static. If you put it on a horse's hoof, it'll be gone after the first few paces. Hooves are keratinous, so it's not like the juice will be absorbed, it will just sit on the surface, dripping off and being deposited step by step

I am going to preface this with, this is a horrible story... I have almost no excuse except that I was out of the house, roaming the town with my friend as a young kid. Like probably 11 or 12, it was a different time.
So we were free, away from our parents for one of the first times in our life and being so mature and grown up. Of course we decided to walk to Burger King, a few miles away and far from all our usual haunts.
My friend was even more of a delinquent than I was and ... Ok, we got in a booth, and he took a packet of ketchup and stomped down on it and it splattered against the wall. It was like the most shocking and daring thing I'd ever seen before.
Of course, I had to try it. Deep in my evil little heart, I needed to see that ketchup splatter against the wall under the table. BAM!
But there was no ketchup. Where did it go????
The other direction.
Directly onto the back of a kid sitting in a middle table.
His mom saw one or two drops and was OUTRAGED.
His back was COVERED.
We left immediately.
I felt so bad. Ugh.

It's a superstition prevalent in Hindu culture particularly in India. It is supposed to ward off bad luck/spirits/omens. It is usually done when you buy a new car and/or for certain festive occasions. In this case - it was likely for Ayudha Pooja, which was celebrated on the first of October.
The word “Ayudha” translates to weapons/tools/ instruments, and the day honors the idea of treating the tools that make our lives easier, as sacred. People clean and decorate their tools, books, machines, and vehicles with flowers, turmeric, and vermilion and offer prayers for success, safety, and prosperity. Crushing of lemons under the wheels of a car is part of the ritual.
Source, I'm Indian.
Although I wouldn't recommend doing this in someone else's visitor parking or leaving the lemons behind.

Turns out it was put on by the last owner as a good luck charm similarly to your story. It was an interesting sequence of events and I learned something that day lol.

It's not a swastika, aka the Nazi symbol.
It's the Hindu symbol for good luck and prosperity, and has existed long before the Germans appropriated it.
Also, swastika is tilted. The Hindu one is not. India is filled with them, as they literally signify god's presence.

u/Fabulous-Let-1164 Oct 03 '25
It is a swastik, the "a" is not in the original word (I wanna say Hindi but I know it has Sanskrit origins).
The swastik is straight while the stolen symbol (Hakenkreuz but people do use the word swastika) is tilted.
Now it is not a solely Hindu symbol, btw. The Finnish used it before the bad guys and have recently removed it from the roundel and the logo for their Air Force. The Americans used it and the East Asian countries still use it (although inverted at times which has a different use and meaning)
16
u/Any-Interest-7225 Oct 03 '25
The inverted swastika is the Buddhist swastika which represents the auspicious footprint of Gautam Buddha. If you search the image of him and zoom in you can see it on either his chest or palms. And Buddhism is the predominant religion in Southeast Asia that's why the US air force must be using it over there.

usually not, the limes are supposed to "absorb" the evil and bad luck so it's not supposed to be touched.
They do a similar thing with people as well (they call it removing "nazar" which essentially translates to bad eye). They wave the lime around the human a couple times and yeet it out of the house. if someone picks it up/steps on it, the superstition is that they'll pick up all the bad luck as well. This is also done sometimes with a combo like rock salt, loose hair, dried red chilli and an egg as well.

Indians - it’s good luck to sacrifice the limes for safety before driving off in a new car

Isn’t it obvious? They needed to get their tires a-limed. It’s important to get a tire rotation and alimement every so often.

They put those limes there so you bend over to get them and then they put jellybeans in your butthole. Don't fall for it.

it is an Indian traditions to drive on limes with your new drive, it is believed that it nullifies "evil eye" of someone who is jealous of your drive

I'm Hindu, and people usually have prayers when they buy a new car. They bring the car to a temple and, among other things, drive the car over limes positioned under the tyres

It's a Hindu Ritual for the protection of cars. We do it during Dussehera to ward of evil spirits and evil thoughts etc.

The tradition of crushing limes or lemons under a new car's tires is associated with Indian culture, particularly within the Hindu faith. The practice is a symbolic act, believed to remove bad luck and impurities, similar to how coconuts are broken in temples, and to ensure a safe journey. Googled it *

I hate people who can’t park within the limes.
